DC7 Mark II with DKC100R

2010-12-30 by zed

Hello:
I have a circa 1994 Disklavier Mark II C7. It has a DKC100R
It plays really well.
I understand there has been a replacement for the DKC100R.
Is that still available? Also, the new DKC850 does not really replace my DKC100R.
I wonder what someone who knows would recommend as the BEST method of proceeding. Just keep the DKC100R and use Midi In and Midi Out to use disklavier and other midi files on a computer (I know how to get my disklavier files on a computer) and control the piano from a computer? Or, add the DKC850 and then what?
I am trying to figure out the best way to keep my piano as useful as possible while still being a straightforward setup.
Also, my DKC100R is supposed to play I believe Midi files, but there may be some limitations. Does anyone know exactly what kind of midi files it will play? How do they have to be named and or formatted?
Is there any firmware update I should get to make my DKC100R more useful? Anything else I can do to make the piano as optimized as possible?
Thank you.

Dan.
