Re: [disklavier] Disk Format for Disklavier

2002-10-24 by Jimmy

I'M surprised that you are not able to format 1.44 with Giebler it does work
on mine software  which is 2 yrs old already.  2D disquette are getting
harder and harder to find and cost twice as much.  I still have  a few spare
for friends.

Yes dvk util works great and not to neglect free.  But what software to you
use to re-sequence your midi song, since dvkutil does move track and since
all piano partition need to put on channel  1 or 2 I have been problem with
that.
Giebler let your re-map the channel.  Tell me mopre about your way of doing
things. I'm sure I can learn a lot.
