Format the disks in your computer using the 720k format option, not the 1.44 option. Your piano will only play files in Yamaha ESeq format, or SMF format 0. Most of the midi files available on the internet are SMF format 1 files, so you will need to convert them. We have free software on this list in the files section called DKV utilities, that allows you to copy Eseq files to a floppy and convert files from one format to another. Giebler software is nice, but in many ways is not as usefull as the free DKV utilities.
