Disklavier

Thank you PianoBench,
  I'm almost done, I think or hope. Now I need to add the Disklavier
as a midi instrument in my computers multi media properties. I am now
asked to answer this question:
"If the instrument you are installing is not a general MIDI
instrument, click the instrument's definition, and then click Next." I
then have the choice of selecting either "general MIDI" or "Percussion
on channel 16". It won[t let me proceed unless I choose one or the
other. Any suggestions? 
Thank you, Mike
