Re: [disklavier] Re: copyprotected pianosoft disks CD drive vs. Floppy drive

2005-08-12 by Robert Welcyng

No, at this time Disklaviers cannot play CDs with MIDI or E-SEQ (.fil) data files on them. �However, one thing you can do is to connect a laptop computer to your Disklavier and play your files using a sequencer program such as Power Tracks, Sonar, �Cakewalk, or others.

thank you Robert!
finally I got the backups finished:
NOW, making a CD for the backup is easy(...)
BUT does the Disklavier can read the midis or .fil from a CD???

If yes, tell me more about, ok?!

There are several ways to backup PianoSoft diskettes.

One way is to use the DKV utilities available for downloading on 
    
this 
  
Yahoo Group.

Another is to purchase the Giebler Yamaha Disk Manager program.  See 
www.giebler.com.  This program requires a true DOS maichine.  It 
recognizes and abides by Yamaha's copy-protected diskettes--you 
    
cannot 
  
copy the diskette directly.  However, you can copy each of the song 
files and reconstruct a non-protected copy of the original diskette
    
..
  
My suggestion for back-up is to put all your PianoSoft backup 
    
material 
  
on a single CD rather than 2DD floppies.
