Disklavier

I bought from QRS a Midiman CD Keyboard Player that says CompactDisc MIDI 
Player, so I could play QRS CDs on my MarkIIXG.  Works great.  I use a Sony 
Walkman CD player plugged into the CD-IN RCA plug on the back.  It also has 
a MIDI OUT on the back that plugs into the MIDI IN on the DKV control box.

I know this does NOT play Yamaha CDs - something about which of the two 
tracks the midi info is on.  I think QRS/Baldwin Concert Master and 
PianoDisc use the same format, and Yamaha uses the other option.  However, 
would this work with your software and the CD I would burn with this?
