Disklavier

Good Morning, Everyone,

assuming that this is a playback-only model and does not record.  If this is 
the case, it may only play ESEQ files (Yamaha proprietary format)or MIDI 
format 0 files.  Also, it might be that your Disklavier can only use double 
density disks, and not the more common high density diskettes. In any case, 
you can still play anything you find on the internet - it's just a matter of 
how many hoops you jump through first!  The playback only models do not have 
an advanced owner's manual. >>

According to my information, this is a playback-only model which reads both 
DD and HD disks as well as E-SEQ and Type 0 and 1 SMFs.

I would look into the following issues: 

--Is the disk properly formatted? For example, a Windows computer is pretty 
stupid regarding the formatting of DD and HD disks. You have to tell the 
computer which is the proper format to use. A DD disk formatted as HD will 
confuse the Disklavier.
--Do the MIDI files have the ".mid" extension?
--Have you mixed E-SEQ and SMFs on the same disk?

I think that an earlier post mentioned that someone downloaded a zip file 
which included Disklavier directory files as well as E-SEQ files. You might 
try copying just the E-SEQ files without the directory file.
