Disklavier

Carol, Thanks for the reply.

In this case, we are getting the piano part just fine, and the keys play.  It's the MIDI accompaniment that is getting the wrong instrument.  (Actually, the drumkit on channel 10 is fine, it's just the acoustic bass on track 11 that is wrong.) It's interesting that both the Clavinova and the Disklavier have separate proprietary  formats...That's unfortunate.  In this case, we are dealing with a MIDI file, not an ESEQ file.  Is there anything that will convert a Clavinova MIDI file to a Disklavier MIDI file easily?  (And why should this even be necessary?)

Thanks again.
-Kevin

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.

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.
