Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

There are both Macintosh and Windows solutions for MIDI over  
ethernet. However, they require a computer at the receiving end. This  
means that if you want to send MIDI to your Disklavier over ethernet  
from a computer in another part of your house, you need a computer  
connected to your Disklavier to receive the data and then pass it on  
to the Disklavier.
