Disklavier

Ben Stuyts:  I have an old program that came with an
old Creative Labs Awe64Gold soundcard that I still use
with a Soundblaster Live51 soundcard and it still
works well.  It is an easy to use midi player that
does allow muting of each channel and also to change
the instrument playing to be changed for each channel.
 It also will show a screen that simulates a piano
roll being played as it is playing.  I could email you
the files necessary to install it but there are about
16 files associated with it and being the novice I am
I would have to email each as a seperate file
attachment.  You could place them into a single file. 
To install, just click on the SETUP icon.  It is a
great midi player.  I use nothing else.  If you would
like to have it, please provide your email address to
derowland@....
