RE: [disklavier] Making Discs

2006-10-04 by Aaron Zornes

Radioshack has a $29 USB floppy drive that I bought for that purpose.  Or
get a cheap laptop (ThinkPad or Toshiba for $400) and slave/dedicate it as
your MIDI controller on top of the Disklavier.  That is what we do.

 

It is maddeningly difficult (some say impossible for mere mortals) to copy
tens, hundreds, or thousands of MIDIs onto CD-ROM for use onto Disklavier.

 

Which of course is what we would all *love* to do.

 

Has any one cracked the secret yet to making Mark II, II or IV series read
standard CD-ROMS as file directories as the system does standard floppies?

I have a question. I see where we can purchase Disklavier music, but 
the downloads seem to be for floppy drives. Our unit has the floppy 
and CD....but, my big problem is my computer only has a R/W CD and no 
floppy. Can I copy onto my CD and play the music on my piano or is 
there a place to download and record on CD?

Thanks
