Disklavier

The Disklavier sees MIDI files on floppy disks
formatted with an IBM computer.  I don't think Mac's
work.  However, I was successful a while back using a
mini DIN cable from a Powerbook to the To Host port on
the Disklavier, playing MIDI files from the hard drive
through software called Metro 5.

If you own a Disklavier, you should also own a cheap PC
that runs native DOS.  Windows 98 and lower work just
fine.  Try usedlaptops.com

Subject: [disklavier] Beginner question on writing midi
files to floppy and playing them.

on the net that I would like to write to

and write to floppy on my Mac but

indicates no songs found. Since these files are

impression that I don't have to do any
