New Control Units for Older Disklaviers

2008-11-21 by Michael D. Chipolone

Hello:
We purchased a Yamaha Silent Disklavier 48" Professional Upright in November 1997.
Its Model Number is MPX100IIXG.
To date we've been playing PianoSoft floppies using its Control Unit: DKC500R. These
are limited to piano and orchestral pieces, no voice. We understand that the newer
pianos can play both CD's with voice and old PianoSoft floppies.
Does Yamaha make an updated control unit that can play CD's through the MPX100IIXG?
Ideally, it would be nice if one could simply replace the DKC500R with a new unit that
could play both floppies and CD's.
Any guidance on this issue would be most appreciated.
Mike Chipolone
