Re: [disklavier] Is it possible to put .fil files on a CD

2010-02-16 by Carol Beigel

You cannot play MIDI files (or .fil files) from a CD on a MarkIII and older Disklaviers. You can, however, put about 50-90 of these files on each of the 16 memory disks included with your MarkIII. You can also put these files into a playlist software program, like yamplayer, on a computer and connnect it via a MIDI interface to your Disklavier. You have many, many options - just not being able to play these files from the CD player!

Subject: [disklavier] Is it possible to put .fil files on a CD

Hello,

Forgive me, because I know this questions must have been asked before, but how do I copy .fil files onto a CD and play it back on my Mark III? I read that I need to put them in a folder on the CD but nothing happens when I try and play them on the piano. Is it that the CD will only play MIDI files and that I have to convert .fil files first?

Thanks for the help.
