Disklavier

Good afternoon, everyone.

The Piano-e-Competition website has had quite a facelift and there  
has been an additional convenience added in the last couple of days.

The best way to find all of the MIDI files from all 3 competitions  
and to get many of your technical questions answered, is go to the  
home page:

http://www.piano-e-competition.com/

Click on the link in the lower right corner that says, "Learn about  
these MIDI formats and how to download the zip files. . ." This will  
take you to:

http://www.piano-e-competition.com/midiinstructions.asp

The main part of this page describes the various available file  
formats. On the left side are links to the MIDI files of all three  
competitions. You will need to probe the individual contestant  
listings of each competition in order to find the MIDI files. The  
links attached to individual pieces are for normal, Type 0 Standard  
MIDI files, playable on a Mark II or later Disklavier.

The contestant listings for 2004 and 2006 also include single  
downloads for all pieces played by individual contestants. The  
groupings are by file type:

--E-SEQ
Playable on any Disklavier.

--Enhanced Standard MIDI File
Type 0 SMFs playable on Mark II and later Disklaviers. This is the  
preferred choice if you have a Mark II or later Disklavier which is  
not a Pro.

--XP SMFs
These Type 0 SMFs contain the high resolution data that is recognized  
by the Disklavier Pro (any vintage). Although they are playable on  
any Disklavier that supports SMFs, the additional, high resolution  
data is only used by the Pro.

Regards,
PianoBench
