Disklavier

Mark --

I found my MIDIMAN Tape Recorder Interface unti and manual in my
garage last week.

Care to test it out for Disklavier use?

I know a number of us woudl love to get our floppies onto a CD or
two instead of the mish-mash of floppie disks we have.

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.)
