Disklavier

This is all too new for me to be sure how all this works.  I think, though, 
that the PianoSmart uses MTC, MIDI Time Code.  You can probably do this with 
Cakewalk Sonar.  I think you would make the MIDI recording for the piano 
part just like you would do in the piano.  Put both the CD you want to 
record with in the CD player of your computer, and record in real time using 
a MIDI keyboard.  There must be "something" on the CD that give a time code. 
  Otherwise, maybe it is just timing.  Perhaps the MIDI recording is just 
that - at a very specific certain time, it starts playing/recording.  You 
could probably sync to a wave file.

I know that on the DKV, you put the CD you want to play/record with into the 
CD player, and a floppy disk into the drive and then just hit Record.  It 
works because I have done it with the sample CDs that come with DKVs.

This probably is not much help, but it is all I know.
