I have been trying to sort out the MIDI capabilities of the various Disklaviers. I recently saw a comparison of the different control boxes used on them, but can't find it again! Please correct me if I am wrong with the following conclusions. All Disklaviers can play music downloaded from www.globaljukebox.com. Some Disklaviers will require that these files be stored on double density diskettes. All MarkIIXG and MarkIII Disklaviers record in both ESEQ and standard MIDI 1 format. THese units also play SMF format 0 files, and any PC formatted diskette will do; both HD (two holes) and DD (one hole) Playback-Only grands and MX80 series play ESEQ and Standard MIDI format 0 files only. The files must be put on Double density diskettes only (one hole). Most of the MIDI files on the internet are MIDI format 1 files. They can easily be converted to format 0 files using the MIDI Converter program available for free from: http://209.144.99.11/SUPPORT/SUPPORT.HTM Many of the old timey player rolls have been converted to MIDI thru computer emulation, so with a Disklavier, you can have it all!
