Re: [disklavier] MIDI compatibility with Clavinova?

2007-11-19 by Kevin Goroway

Hmm, that could be...When I open the file in gnmidi it says, "GM XG", so it's probably a little of both.

The interesting part is that this came from a Yamaha Clavinova to a Yamaha Disklavier...you would think they would be compatible, right?  After all, XG is Yamaha's baby, right?

I know that GM has a list of "instruments", does XG not?

Thanks.

            perhaps you are using XG, yamahas enhanced midi format?  afaik theres no guarantee the instruments will be the same across differing configurations.  The instruments available is dependent on the sound hardware.  I remember having sounds get messed up when i recorded midi on a roland keyboard and then tried to play it back on my comp.

            I always thought MIDI was MIDI, but I'm encountering some strange

behavior.



Given a Yamaha clavinova, producing a simple jazz Trio, piano on track

1, drumkit on track 10, and a bass line on track 11.  Plays and sounds

great on the Clavinova.



Spit out a MIDI file, and put it on the Disklavier and the bass line

is gone.  Look at the tracks, and it thinks that track 11 is a "Draw

Organ".



Open the MIDI file on a PC, and it also is confused about track 11,

but has yet another idea about what instrument is there.



Any ideas?



Thanks.
