there is a lot of garbage on the internet. i make it a point to check my MIDI files for playing on the DKV.

a lot of the music was made with no intention of playing on a solo instrument. there are many other reasons that files may not play properly. i addressed some of these issues in my midimod2 program but there is a lot that needs to be either edited by hand or just given up on. http://www.spencerserolls.com/Files4Download.html midimod2 is on this page. it does some pedal stuff like sticking it on channel 3 if you select that option. there are also other programs for changing channels patches and converting continuous pedaling to on / off. i even have a program that fakes progrssive pedaling but don't remember if it is no the page.

if you send me a file, i can give an opinion as to what is wrong with it for playing on the DKV.

I mean, good grief as long as MIDI standard has been out it seems like
every unit has some sort of proprietary file system, designed
utilized, maintained, and written by Yamaha for that piano only.. I
never have heard of so many file types and endings.. whatever happened
to just plain MIDI data.. ?

i have had a Yamaha c-6 (bought new) for 20 years. I just want some
piano music that plays MIDI files through MIDI out (DKC-100R) from a
computer and not those dumb little floppies but everything I try to
download seems to have pedal sustain data missing... anyone help?
thanks... it's frustrating.

Its an awesome piano.. but eberything but a Yamaha sourced disc seems
whacked.
