Using a laptop with Disklavier
2002-10-02 by Robert Welcyng
Great idea! You need to buy an external MIDI interface such as a Midiman Portman External Parallel MIDI Interface for the PC, a MIDI cable, and a sequencer such as PG Music's Power Tracks. With Power Tracks, you will be able to reassign the channels and modify the velocities of files you have downloaded. You will be able to play Type 1 MIDI files. Your setup also offers the potential of keeping your PianoSoft collection in MIDI format and storing them on HD, CD-ROM (if you have a drive), or ZIP disk. Buddhika wrote: > Interesting one..
