Disklavier

Mark, thanks for the reply!

I'll have to check my spam catchers at home (where I originally emailed you from) [I also tried to contact you on pianoforums].

FYI.  That MIDI file came out of a Yamaha Clavinova 309.  And the audio cd was recorded directly from the same clavinova via it's optical digital output directly to a wave file.  I'm hoping they are in sync. :-)

I'm looking forward to your next release.  Thanks!

-Kevin

This is correct, as long as whatever rendered the MIDI performance to CD

audio maintained accurate time.

(Hmm, I replied twice by email; maybe a spam filter is intercepting the

responses?  They didn't bounce back.)



Anyway, the reason MID2PianoCD is having trouble with your particular

MIDI files is because they use a time division of 1920, which is

considerably higher than the more typical timebase values of 96, 192,

and 384 that I had observed when writing my MIDI file handling code back

in the 1990s.



As a result, MID2PianoCD was incorrectly assuming that any file with a

timebase that high (over 1024) must be damaged.  I have raised the limit

for this sanity check and the fix will be included in the next release.



For the next release of MID2PianoCD, I'm also adding support for the new

Live Performance LX player system (http://www.live- performance. com),

including transcoding Disklavier XP mode recordings for high-res

playback on the LX with proportional pedaling.  I look forward to

comparing the same XP files played on a Mark IV and LX system!
