Disklavier

Okay...that helps.  I was wondering whether or not to let OMB use the disklavier's voices or to have it use it's own (or a software synth, but I don't think the hardware that I had lying around could support a software synth).  Do you know if it supports re-assigning channels?  I'm worried that it will use channel 1 for accompaniment, and that will end up pushing down the keys under my fingers...

Yes.  I've been using it for a number of 
years.  It's a very popular program.  I have a Yamaha PSR 540 and this 
is connected by midi to my laptop with OMB.  This extends the functionality 
of the PSR.  My styles are all on my hard drive and I don't have to 
keep loading them in on the PSR's floppy.   I get to choose either the 
PSR's accompaniment or the one provided by OMB.  The output from OMB goes 
back to my PSR to use the Yamaha XG voices.

One Man Band will do the job for you.    http://www.1manband .nl/omb.htm
 
Reads yamaha style files and plays in real  time.  Turns any keyboard with midi into an arranger  keyboard.

Subject: [disklavier] Automatic accomp software?

My  uncle has a clavinova which has the cool ability to automatically accompany  his playing in realtime by understanding the chord and melody.

So,  this weekend I decided to finally build a computer to attach to my MkIV  expressly to try to find software which would do the same thing.

The  computer is working fine, and so is the MIDI functionality. ..now I just  have to figure out what software will actually do this for me!  I  played with band-in-a-box a bit...but it does not seem to allow for this  sort of thing in real time...it wants you to first enter all of the  chords.  Is there other software which can do this?  Am I asking  too much?

If it matters, I built the computer running windows  98se.

Thanks in advance!
