Disklavier

Good afternoon, everyone.

Raphael, you should be able to get the manual at the address mentioned  
below. Here is a brief history of your DisklavierL

The first upright Disklavier's brought to the US in 1987 were called  
MX100A. There was later a B model. Neither piano had a tone generator,  
and each used double-density (DD) floppy disks and recorded and played  
back files in the E-SEQ format..

The next Disklavier in the form of a studio upright was the MX100 II.  
It added playback support for files called Standard MIDI File Type 0.  
In addition, it had an improved user interface and additional MIDI  
features.

Following the MX100 II was the MX100 IIXG. Starting with this model,  
the control unit was not longer built into the case. The new control  
unit added the following:

--read and write high density (HD) disks as well as DD disks
--internal GM/XG/DOC tone generator
--recording in both E-SEQ and SMF Type 0 formats
--playback of E-SEQ, SMF Type 0, and SMF Type 1
--option to send and receive MIDI data by serial cable (in addition to  
the traditional MIDI ports)

For awhile, Yamaha offered an MX100 II --> MX100 IIXG upgrade. That is  
no longer available. If you can find a Yamaha DSR1, you can bring your  
MX100 II up to the user features found in the MX100 IIXG. If you can  
find a DCD1, you can additionally get most of the remaining CD-related  
features of the next generation studio upright, known as the DU1A  
(which is a Mark III Disklavier).

Regards,
PianoBench
