Disklavier

Actually, I cannot understand why anyone would want to record directly into 
their computer.  Are there any advantages?  I would think that one could 
record on the memory disk or a floppy, then open it in their sequencing 
software for editing.  At least that way, you wouldn't risk messing up your 
only copy!

If you had a Silent Piano, recording directly into your computer would be 
the only way to go, but you wouldn't get the piano to play back like a 
disklavier.  Of course, if you had a silent piano, your wife would still be 
speaking to you!

However, I can understand why you would want to PLAY midi files from you 
computer.  You can make play lists of just the songs you want; or have lists 
with the volume turned down for dinner parties, etc.

Let me know if I've missed something!
