Disklavier

Has anyone tried combining PianoSoft smart disks with the matching CD using either Protracks or MID2piano programs.
If so are there any features in the newest version of Protracks that helps with syncing the files or any tricks that you have learned.
It seems that making a combined cd and playing them through a mulidisk cd play connected to the disklavier would be a nice option for a Mark III or a Mark IV.

Current Band in the Box (and Pro Audio, the sequencer) are now a single product for $129.00

http://www.pgmusic.com/bandbox.htm

 

ProTraks Pro Audio (sequencer alone) is still for sale for $50.00 (last updated august 2007)

THe new features in BIAB are more audio like and not really MIDI related.

 

Cakewalk has a nice "consumer" version for les tha $35.00

Your choice depends on your needs...

Instead of Band In A Box, the other pgmusic.com sequencer is PG Pro Audio 10 or whatever their current version is.  I t is cheaper than BIAB.  I have used it to 'render" the MIDI files to audio.   When my Dad records something on my Disklavier and wants to hear what he played on his car stereo, it is a good way to do this.  The latest versions also allow VST instruments which are better sounding, but more expensive, than the piano sounds on my computer soundcard.

 

You can take MIDI files, "render" or convert them to audio files,  run them through a VST piano ( I use Steinberg's The Grand) and burn them to an audio CD and/or convert to MP3 files.

 

PG Pro Audio will also convert the MIDI file to score (sheet music). and has all the editing features for MIDI files.  I think it is a great easy to use software and is very powerful considering the price is well under $100.

 

PG music also produces Slow Gold which will slow down an audio file without changing its pitch.  Slow Blast will separate the singing from the background on an audio file so you can learn to sing the song yourself.

Good Morning,  Does anyone utilize one of the "Band in a Box" software programs to play MIDI files back through yhe Disklavier?   Apparantly it has some similar properties as "Cakewalk", but it comes with a library of music (as I understand it).    If so, what has been your experience and which version do you prefer?   Thanks,   Dan
