Disklavier

Aaron,

The Yamaha control track sounds quite different from the MidiMan control
track. Maybe Yamaha recommended the MidiMan encoder because the
Disklavier is capable of playing QRS' format, which does use the MidiMan
encoding? (Yamaha does not provide a software or hardware encoder for
their own format.)
