Disklavier

Connecting to a computer via the host port eliminates the need to use a midi interface.  Using a PC (or Mac) linked to your Disklavier allows you to record into and playback directly from your computer without transferring the data to a disk first.  You can then drive the Disklavier using any program that can send a midi data stream to a PC serial port.  The possibilities are limited only by the software you run.

As far as editing the Pro specific "XP" mode, PianoBench@... perhaps you.  I can't.  All I know is that "XP" data includes key position data, which is not addressed by any type of sequencer, yet.

Mark,

Can you please tell me, what does this HOST connection buy you?  What 
would I be able to do on my PC if I get this cable and hook a DC7Pro 
up to a laptop?

Also, I am a software engineer.  Is there a sufficient interface and 
would I have access to neccessary information to write my own XP 
editor?  In other words, I'd like to write a program for editing XP 
performance data graphically.

??
