Re: Pianosoft Floppy Collections on DKC-800/DKC-850

2011-05-11 by kassey22000

I was able to copy the files on my MKIIXG off the memory onto a floppy then use utilities to copy them onto the USB drive and play them on the DKC-850.  If you have lost your disklavier manual, I can send a short set of directions from mine.

I put each disks worth of files (.mid or .fil) in individual folders then copy them to the USB drive and read them right off the disklavier (mine is a DKC-850).  I can now store the floppy drive away and use either the free iPhone application or Kevin's cool DKVBrowser program to sort though my extensive song files off the USB and internal memory on the DKV.
