I have successfully use the following USB extender with the Yamaha UX-16. The computer is upstairs and the piano is downstairs with over a hundred 100 of cable between. The setup works great with no problems. I get to use the computer with the disklavier while abiding by the wife's rules about no computer around the piano..

Hello Everyone, Jorge, I may have spoken too soon on the Windows Media Player. It has hiccupped some after more extensive use. Plus, I seem to have screwed up the WMP audio driver and can't listen to mp3s (or system wave sounds for that matter) any longer. I've since gone back to VanBasco (for the time being) and Power Tracks Pro Audio for my editing and finessing. My hardware setup is a Pentium PC with the Yamaha UX-16 USB midi interface. I overcame the 2-meter USB cable limitation for the roughly 25' cabled run to the piano with (2) 16' self-powered amplified USB cables (which the manufacturer of escapes me) which work great. The DSR1's Disklavier setting of course delays the ensemble voice the required 500ms, so all I had to do was delay the karaoke lyrics 500ms in VanBasco. I did find the ability to monitor the midi voices graphically in VanBasco so very useful, especially when listening to a selection that I've downloaded for the first time and then if the file has merit, saving the it with a useful name direct from VanBasco. I just have to mentally adjust the half-second delay of the sound after the graphics. WMP does see my Yamaha Midi driver as well as the midi mapper as all my other windows music software, by the way. Again, I'm crazy about the setup, but I guess it's like everything else, 10% better is usually %200 or more money or effort. I'll post on this if I ever figure something out that is consistent.

I, myself, have a not solved problem with media players; all of these only handle the standard "MidiMapper"; 16 channels in one MIDI port.------------------------ Yahoo!
