Re: [disklavier] HELP! Computer and Disklavier Floppies not compatible.

2002-03-20 by Carol Beigel

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.
