Downloading MIDI Files
During the Disklavier Audition Round of the competition,  contestants 
performed on Disklavier Pro pianos in Hamamatsu, Los Angeles, New  York, and Paris. 
During the recording process, a high resolution XP Standard  MIDI File was 
created. These XP SMFs were use for playback before the screening  jury at Hamline 
University in St. Paul, MN. 

If you have a Disklavier  piano, you may download these files to a floppy 
disk and play them on your  Disklavier. Playback is possible on other MIDI 
devices, but it will not be as  acurate or as expressive. In the case of electronic 
playback devices, the piano  sound will be inferior to that of a real piano. 
Playback on other MIDI devices  is not recommended. NOTE: Low-end MIDI devices, 
such as computer sound cards,  may not recognize or properly play the 
incremental pedal data. 

These  performances are offered to you in three MIDI formats. Download the 
contestant's  complete program by clicking the link for one of these 
collections.  Alternatively, download any single piece as an Enhanced SMF by clicking the 
link  to the individual piece. 

XP Standard MIDI File
This format is intended for  playback on Disklavier Pro pianos. 

This format constitutes a high  resolution MIDI file that goes beyond the 
boundaries of a typical MIDI file.  This file uses a scale of 0-1023 to record 
hammer (note-on) velocity, key-on  velocity, and key-release (note-off) 
velocity. Pedal data for sustain and una  corda are recorded as continuous data from 
0-127. 

NOTE: For best  playback results, play the XP files using the Disklavier's 
floppy drive.  Regrettably, many computer sequencers alter the order of the XP 
events. 

Enhanced Standard MIDI File
This format is intended  for playback on all Disklavier pianos and other MIDI 
devices that read Standard  MIDI Files. 

This format conforms to the normal MIDI specification but  includes data that 
is not often recorded or played back by other MIDI  instruments, such as key 
release velocity (from 0-127). As with the XP SMF,  pedal data for sustain and 
una corda are recorded as continuous data from 0-127.  

E-SEQ File
This format is intended for playback on  early model Disklaviers that do not 
read Standard MIDI Files. The data is  similar to that found in the Enhanced 
SMF. 

Download and Installation Instructions for  Windows
To download these files using a Windows computer, right click on  one of the 
MIDI links. A mini menu will appear. Choose the option to save the  file or

If you clicked a link to an individual piece, you  will have downloaded and 
saved a single piece. If you clicked a link to one of  the collections, the 
file that you have downloaded and saved is a .zip archive.  If you double-click 
it, your computer may automatically decode the file into a  folder containing 
several MIDI files and one or two Disklavier directory files  (PDISK and PSONG 
or PIANODIR). 

If your computer does not  automatically decode these .zip files, you need a 
program, such as the free  Stuffit Expander program 
(_www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html_ (http://www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html) ) or the free evaluation  
version of WinZip (_www.winzip.com_ (http://www.winzip.com/) ). 

If you are going to play these  files on a Disklavier using floppy disk, copy 
all of the files including any  directory files you downloaded. If you intend 
to play the files from a computer,  you can discard the directory files.
