Re: [disklavier] Piano "Rcv Ch" parameter options- Re:Pedal, tracks, channels, velocity, Cakewalk

2004-01-05 by PianoBench@aol.com

Good evening, everyone.

In a message dated 1/4/04 10:22:26 PM, Walt writes:

On the other hand, the Ch=Prg(All) option finds the piano parts wherever they are and plays them on the piano while all other parts go out on the stereo system.

A point of clarification about this feature:

This feature is based on the concept that the patches in the MIDI file are consistent with the General MIDI (GM) voice list or with Yamaha 's extended GM voice list known as XG. This is generally true with both commercial MIDI files and free MIDI files that you find on the Internet.

Voices in this GM list are grouped according to type, with the first 8 voices known as "piano group" voices. These voices are:

Acoustic Grand
Bright Acoutic
Electric Grand
Honkey Tonk
Electric 1
Electric 2
Harpsichord
Clavi

The feature that you describe will replace any instance of these 8 voices with the Disklavier piano itself. Most of the time, that is probably what we all want. In the case of a voice such as harpsichord, that may or may not be desired.

Below is a complete list of GM voices.

Regards,
