Disklaviers play the piano keys on whatever data is
on Channel 1 or 2. MIDI tracks can be on any channels. There is a
list of XG sounds in the appendix of your owner's manual.
Disklaviers have a proprietary ESEQ format, and Clavinova's also have
their own proprietary formats. Use a conversion program to change a
Yamaha proprietary format to a MIDI format. If you create a MIDI 0 file,
and put all the tracks on Channel 1, the piano will play.

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.
