Disklavier

I have a giebler'r ultilies version that i brought last june.
I don´t think that the version is new.

IT WORKS UNDER XP!

But only with 2HD disks. (1.4 megs)

I have used it a few times, mainly when I download files from yamaha 
with the yamaha downloader that writes the "special yamaha format"

Extract indiviual files to HD and the convert them to midi also with 
the giebler utility.

All this under XP.

If the .FIL in not in a protectyed yamaha disk I allways use 
SEQ2MIDI whith no problems.

I hope this helps.
