Re: [disklavier] Disk Format for Disklavier

2002-10-24 by Carol Beigel

I never got the Giebler to format the 1.44 M diskette and I have the latest 
version (I think!).  That's when I started buying the 720k disks by the 
case.  The display of song numbers on the control box only goes to 99, so I 
wouldn't bother putting more than 99 midi files on a disk.

Giebler's file format is identical to the ESEQ format and will play on the 
older Disklaviers.  I did not mention the Giebler utility (cost $59 from 
www.giebler.com) because the dkvutils are free.

The nice thing about all these utility programs is that they let you put 
just the songs you want on a floppy, or to make back up copies of your 
original disks.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
