RE: [disklavier] Files Area Full

2003-12-24 by Rich Lunardi

Todd,
Would it be too much trouble to indicate in the new directory those midi files which are piano solo?  
 
Ensemble pieces typically fail on the MX-88 because the piano is at rest too much of the time and/or not carrying the melody.  I've edited a few files by putting certain non-piano tracks on channel 1 but with modest success.  Obviously, midis originally intended as piano solos perform best on the no-tone generator models.

Yep, it's full alright.  I have three wonderful volunteers working on
the job, but it will take a little while.  Plan is to completely
restructure the directory, move all url's to the bookmark section, zip
up all midis into logical groups, delete duplicates and most important,
delete poor quality files.

Here's what everyone can do now that will create some immediate relief:
Nominate lousy or inappropriate files for deletion.  If no one makes a
case to save it, we will delete it quickly.  By inappropriate I mean
pre-1925 ragtime and classical music readily available elsewhere on the
web (provide a bookmark instead).  It would also include heavily
orchestrated files that are not particularly piano centric.  By lousy, I
am thinking of crudely sequenced or scanned pieces. Beautifully hand
played stuff by the likes of Doug McKenzie, Kendell Healy, and Gary
Lloyd are what we really want to make room for.

So lets hear you vote for what should go.
