Re: [disklavier] Adding DKC850 to MPX1

2012-09-03 by Carol Beigel

There is a problem with that. Yamaha copy protection scheme will NOT allow you to:

copy a PianoSoft disk to a USB stick
copy a PianoSoft disk to the FromToPC folder
copy PianoSoft disks to CDs

The only way I have found to get your pianosoft floppies into the Memory is to use a USB floppy disk drive.

I figure if you can afford the $1500 for the DKC-850 you might save yourself a lot of time and trouble and just buy their USB Floppy Disk drive.

You can, however, convert your ESEQ disks to standard file formats using Giebler, DKVutils or Root a Ripper, then use the converted disks to place files on USB sticks, folders on a computer, etc.

Good luck.

I found this in the operating manual:

You can add a Disklavier piano performance you recorded or on
commercially available SmartPianoSoft software to the playback of songs
on your favorite CDs.

So its ok i guess; I wont have the diskettes reader unit so probably I'll have to copy the floppy to the pc and from there on on a usb stick I'll choose the
appropriate file...
