Re: [disklavier] Play Disklavier through Laptop Computer

2003-07-29 by Carol Beigel

The instructions for Receiving Data From A MIDI Sequencer are in the 
Advanced Owners manual that came with your Disklavier -  my dark red manual 
has it on page 72.  Basically, the piano keys play whatever is on Channels 1 
or 2 of the MIDI file unless you change the settings.  You press the 
Function button and put the cursor on Piano Part and follow the prompts.  To 
be sure that all tracks on the MIDI file play the piano, I use the gnmidi 
utility software and simple push a single button "prepare program for 
Pianodisc".  This creates a MIDI 0 file that puts all the tracks on Channel 
1.

If you want the Disklavier to play a sound on the computer, you also need to 
add an additional MIDI cable between the MIDI OUT on the DKV to the MIDI IN 
on your computer interface.
