Re: [disklavier] Which MIDI format sound best on Mark III

2008-10-14 by Carol Beigel

MIDI format 0 and MIDI format 1 will play on your Disklavier.  The XG sounds 
are the best on your list and Yamaha developed them!  GM stands for General 
MIDI which was standardized in the 1980's.  Originally MIDI was in different 
proprietary formats and the various systems could not talk to each other. 
XG was the next generation of GM.
