Re: [disklavier] Re: Getting my Yamaha Floppy disk library onto the DKC-850

2010-07-30 by Carol Beigel

I copied each floppy into a folder named the serial number of the disk, i.e. 
501234, etc. on my ard drive.   I thought the piano files were named 
something like Piano01, Piano02, etc. in each folder.  Then again, I used 
the DVK utility to do this in the first place along with Geibler.  Are we 
talking alphabetical order of each disk or the entire project?
