International Piano-e-Competition file format

2002-06-13 by PianoBench@aol.com

Good afternoon, everyone.

Regarding the recent discussions on both of these Disklavier user group 
lists, it has been pointed out to me that I should mention that the MIDI 
files posted for the Piano-e-Competition are in Standard MIDI File Type 0 
format. They should be playable on a Mark II (if it has the ROM to support 
SMF and if the file is on a double-density disk with no other files), Mark 
IIXG, Mark III, or Pro.

Earlier Disklaviers designs--such as the MX100A or B, Wagon grand, and MX 80 
series, will require a DSR1 or a computer with MIDI player program connected 
to the instrument. Alternatively, owners of these earlier instruments can use 
a program that converts SMF to E-SEQ, such as the one made by Gary Geibler or 
the one available from the Disklavier group on Yahoo. (I'll leave it to 
others to fill in details on that.)

Regards,
PianoBench
