Re: Make a blog to post your best disklavier files?

2006-10-03 by Fred Dismuke

Good day everyone,

I would love to have access to and contribute to such a site. I've
been downloading midi files for a year or so and there is rarely a
file that doesn't require at least a slight velocity change. In the
case of multi-timbral files, most need extensive rearrangement of
parts, tracks, channels, velocities and instruments. I've sampled and
discarded thousands of files that didn't have a piano part or a poorly
written one, not to mention the innumeral ultra-modern, rap and
original works with the same names as classics and standards. I've got
about 1500 files with many man-weeks invested in getting them to sound
(what I think of as)good on my DSR1 and DKV upright. My music
interests are across the board and I would be glad to share them.
