Disklavier

Thanks George I will look into the Cakewalk program.

The question now is why doesn't the piano play what's written in the midi file and would I be able to correct the problem with the Cakewalk program.

Cheers,
Joseph

Good evening, everyone. 

Joseph, I received your MIDI file when you sent to me directly. The file contains a lot of sustain pedal messages. They are on/off messages (i.e. values 127 and 0) with no incremental messages.

Sonar Home Studio from Cakewalk is a very fine sequencer for under $100. It works on Windows systems.

Regards,
PianoBench
