Disklavier

Thanks for all of the replies.

Here's the exact scenario.

My uncle recently got a Clavinova CVP-309.  He plays a jazz tune with a simple drum track, and upright bass as the "accompaniment".  I don't think he has any control over which patches the CVP-309 chooses for the accompaniment, but it "seems" to be choosing XG instruments.  When he saves this as midi and emails it to me, it looses something in the translation, to put it lightly.  I'm trying to play it on my new DC3M4.

When I look at the track on the PDA the voice is listed as "-----" (it can't even tell me it's name, though it is certainly mapping it to something, since I can hear it...).

Thoughts on how we can make this "just plain work", since these are both XG compatible instruments?

Thanks again.
-Kevin

            Hi



Midi IS Midi. But I would think you have a "Disk Orchestra 

Collection" disk.  If this is so, then the Clavinova uses a DOC map 

which is NOT GM nor is it XG.  If it is DOC then it has a SysEX 

command in it to tell the clavinova to use the DOC map and NOT a 

Midi map.
