Disklavier

My thinking is that the DSR1 is made exclusively as a control box for a 
Disklavier, and these are not portable!  Even though there is a control 
board inside the box, I believe the actual processing of the MIDI signals 
are done on other boards located elsewhere on the piano.

  If you want to record MIDI in a portable environment, why not buy a PC 
laptop and a MIDI interface that is USB?  The price of the laptop, possible 
external drive, interface and software would probably cost a little more 
than half of the $1295 price for the DSR1.  MIDI data is small so it 
wouldn't need much of a computer.
