Disklavier

You can put Midi files on a CD that plays on a Disklavier.
http://dp70.dyndns.org/mid2pianocd/

The midi files are converted to wav files so you can only put about 15-20 songs on a CD.

This only makes sense if you only have a CD player or you want to combine a Pianosoft Smart  disk with the matching Midi file.

However if you have a floopy drive on your Disklavier you can put about 70 midi files on a floppy (depending on the file size).

Following Carol's comments, all off

All are "pure" MIDI standards not exclusive to DKV's, so all of them should play fine in a Mark III, given that the "Channel set up" in the DKV correspond to the files, so that the piano play the piano parts and the orchestral sounds are played by the sound module.

 

But what about the Yamaha own MIDI file standards for the DKV.

Which ones play in the Mark III Bob has and which ones don't?

 

Also, he wants put the MIDI files in a CD and play it  on the DKV, as far a I remember this won´t work.

 

He said he has an DGC1-B


>Which one will play with best quality on this piano?


 



(Mine is a Mark II, so i can't remember)

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.
