ALan,

THis is a common problem.

SUggestion: Download the dkvutils.zip utility set from our file 
section (Utilities folder).  Place the MIDI files in a folder.  Use 
the MID2ESEQ utility to covert the MIDI files in that folder to ESEQ 
MIDI files. (BEFORE converting, adjust the MIDI file names so that 
the first 8 characters are not the same for any two files.)  Then 
use the Eexplorer utility to index the set and move the files around 
so that they play in the order you want, and to alter the file 
descriptions that display on the Disklavier controller.

you to index the files without converting them to ESEQ.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
