Disklavier

Dear all,

Thank you for this great group.
I am new member here and could not find a topic or discussion regarding my problem. Sorry if my questions have answered before.
I got new Disklavier  Enspier Enst system and faced to the following issues. Would you please answer my questions?
1. Is it possible to play all midi files by yamaha disklavier system or there is any restriction or specification for it?
2. Is there any app or software to convert mp3 or wave audio files to MiDi format then use it by disklavier piano?
Please let me know if you have any experiences regarding the above issues.
Thank you for your time

Dear Ian,

Thank you very much for your kind attention. As i got my piano recently i have become so excited about it and would like to hear my lovely musics via it. 
I am interested to have midi files of Yanni and Kitaro (new age music) for piano. My disklavier piano has arrived without speaker and the company told me that i have to order it sepertly which takes time.
I have searched through internet and found some free midi files such as this page:

http://www.sortmusic.com/_y/yanni-free-midi-files,len.html

But it does not work with mine as there is no piano track and disklavier does not play them.

Please let me know if you now any good sources or website for this purpose.

I am emailing you if you can kindly help.

Kouros

Good Afternoon:

Does anyone have, or can anyone in the group record the title "Memphis 
Stomp" by Dave Grusin

It is from the movie "The Firm"

Yamaha included the title track of the film (by Mike Garson) on a 
sampler disk, but I have never been able to find a midi of this piano 
solo title - to my knowledge\ufffd Yamaha does not offer it for sale

I wish I had the skills to play it myself - it is a fast paced jazz song

Thanks to all

Sheldon

Speaking of MIDI files; I need to add the ability to play MIDI files on my Windows 10 PCs. What is a good program w/o spending a lot? Will I need to purchase a sound card, also?Thx, Glen P.

Are you using a DKV?
An old model? 

Yes? Maybe you need an USB to MIDI Interface. 

I think that vanBasco karaoke player will be enough. Very old program still working.

Actually, I am wanting a more local solution. Eventually, any MIDI files I edit will be played on my Mark III which uses a floppy disk. For editing I need local playback on my PC or laptop. But Windows 10 doesn't support MIDI. In the past, my PCs had sound cards which generated the MIDI voices (I think Creative Labs was an example).

So, I think I need a media player which supports MIDI and a sound generator with decent sounding voices.
Feel free to educate this old guy who just wants to edit MIDI files like he did before Windows 10 (Thank You, Microsoft).
Glen Perry
P.S. I have a USB to MIDI interface and I know how to play files on my Mark III from a laptop. I just want my PC or laptop to play MIDI files through their speakers as I edit and test the results. I've thought about resurrecting an old Windows 7 machine, but, it might need repairing and there is the lack of support by MS (Thanks again) and who has the space for another machine?

Good evening, everyone.

Glen, I recommend that you get the Garritan CFX Concert Grand virtual piano from MakeMusic:

https://www.garritan.com/products/cfx-concert-grand-virtual-piano/

It is a sample 9-foot Yamaha concert grand. Unlike most virtual pianos, it can actually be set to respond to incremental pedal data.

You may want to play around with it’s velocity curve in order to get the results to match the playback of your piano.

Regards,
PianoBench
