Re: Recording MIDI on a CD.. play on Disklavier?

2002-06-16 by macaw22

In short, no. Currently, the CD drive is used for the PianoSoft Plus 
Audio discs, in which the audio and midi data are together. If you 
play one of those discs in a normal CD player, you will notice a 
screeching sound, which is the midi data in an analog form 
(strangely enough). Because of this, it appears that you could only 
store 74 minutes of MIDI data on a CD, but you need 
software/hardware to convert it to the "analog MIDI" that the 
Disklavier's CD drive can play.
