Midi files...

2008-01-14 by ramseymonoi

Hi all,

My disklavier has arrived, and it is great.

I am waiting for the usb/midi adaptor cable to arrive so I can try
playing songs from the laptop.

However I am getting a bit confused. I downloaded some piano pieces,
which I am playing on the computer using vanbasco midi player. It
looks like the right and left hand play on 2 different channels.

So I assumed that it was a type 1 midi file, and converted it to type
0. But it still separates left and right hand !

Am I confusing tracks and channels ? Ie, it is now a type 0 file with
only one track and several channels. Does it mean that type 1 files
carry several tracks with each several channels ?

I feel like I opened pandora's box !

Best regards,

Pascal
