Hello friends,

Permit me to introduce myself.

I am rather new to the group. I have recently acquired a Disklavier XG which 
plays but does not record. I am a 62 year old retired electrical engineer and 
educator who resides in Fort Worth, Texas. I have lived here for well over 30 
years.
 
I maintain a rather large and eclectic homepage 
http://members.aol.com/DrSwiney  My hobby is reading mystery books.  I then 
write crossword puzzles over them.  I now have over 270 of them on one of the 
pages on my Internet site. Alas, my site has nothing on the Disklavier. [yet]

I have been downloading hours of piano midi files from the Internet and of 
course files of the recent Yahama sponsored competition. I would welcome 
suggestions.

I find that for some of my downloads I would like to change [or add] the 
title as it appears in my Disklavier window. I would also like to change the 
instrument designation. [Say from piano 2 to piano 1] I am not a music 
professional. I would like to obtain some simple inexpensive program that 
allows one to make these changes to a midi file. Can someone make a 
suggestion?

Regards,

John S. Morgan

Welcome to the group !
I suggest you will install a sequence programm like XG works (Yamaha) or 
Cakewalk or Cubase on a PC or Laptop and conncet this to your Disklavier 
through MIDI or To Host connection. Then you can change very easaly the 
channels on wich the disklavier has to play wich instrument.
If you want to record, you can also use this setup. In stead of recording 
on the disklavier control unit you can record on the PC using the sequence 
program.
Some sites with music:
www.prs.net   especially for classical music
www.midifarm.com  for all kind of popular music
www.yamaha.co.jp  the homepage of Yamaha in Japan (available in English)
www.yamaha-europe.com the homepage of Yamaha Europe, with links to 
different pages with a lot of music and knowledge about disklavier etcetera.

succes with the disklavier,

with best regards,

Vincent de Leur
