Do you mean that Pianomation disks (I understand that's what QRS is) 
will play on the DKV ? Or do you, lucky one, have both systems ?
(I wonder what would result from installing a Pianomation system on a 
DKV ... :-)            Will they cooperate, and play along each other's 
tunes?  :-P           )

That might be part of my problem... I checked the "disk and files format 
for midi piano players" chart in this group's files section and /wishful 
read/ the Pianomation line instead of the Pianodisk one... I'll check it 
all again tomorrow, I'm afraid my files are type 1 as I use Cubase SX to 
build them..

Then hopefully Mark Fontana -the creator of the midtopianoCD software- 
will soon extend his program to include the Yamaha system./ /We could 
then burn our own CDs and have our beloved Yamahas play them. I work 
with singers, and it would be a real delight to produce homemade 
performances, not even mentionning jazz or classical instrumental duets...

Still I wonder : do the DKV play /normal/ Pianodisk and/or Pianomation 
CDs ?

By the way, thanks for your help : you made me have a closer look to the 
QRS site (http://www.qrsmusic.com/), and Wow ! they even have a 
violin-player, an accordion player, and  some percussions... Very nice ! 
My bank account is staring at me with a desperate look... :-!
