Disklavier

Good evening, everyone.

Terry, the .MNG files are text files. You can open them on a Windows  
computer in NotePad and on the Macintosh in TextEdit (or in similar  
text- or word-processors). When they are copied to a floppy disk  
along with the MIDI files, they enable the Disklavier to show a  
custom disk title as well as custom song titles.

The "PDISK.MNG" file contains information about the version of the  
Disklavier that made the recording (I think) as well as the disk  
title. The "PSONG.MNG" file contains information about each file on  
the disk, including the song titles.

Regards,
PianoBench
