Hi,
with PianoSoft plus Audio disks, the Disklavier will automatically send the audio channel to both outputs and use the analog MIDI channel for data only. Whatever you do, don't stick one of these CDs into your HiFi, if you value your speakers.
There is
at least 1 program for converting MIDI files to analog MIDI for writing to
CD, (MID2CD), but I haven't seen anthing to go the other way. I suppose
you could play the MIDI + Audio CD on a disklavier or DCD1 and record
the MIDI information onto a sequencer/computer.
