Good morning, everyone.

Actually, the older Disklaviers that recorded E-SEQ files recorded the notes 
and on/off pedals on channel 1 (or channels 1 + 2 if a left-hand/right-hand 
split recording was made) and the incremental pedal data (if any) on channel 
3. Even if there was incremental data on channel 3, there was always on/off 
data on channel(s) 1 and/or 2.

With the change to Standard MIDI Files, later Disklaviers--starting with the 
Mark IIXG) recorded the notes and pedals (on/off or incremental) on the same 
channels, normally channel(s) 1 and/or 2.

The Mark II could play SMFs of Type 0 but could not record them.

If you have access to a Mark IIXG or later Disklaver, you can examine these 
distinctions by using the Disklavier's song convert function to convert a 
file between E-SEQ and SMF.
