Disklavier

I own a DGP1XG.....is this considered a MKII?,,,it seems to do all 
the things that they do,but is playback only... if it isn't,what 
else does a MKII do that mine won't    comments?

It depends on the model of the control box.  Is it a DKC100XG or a DKC55?  
The XG means it has a built-in tone generator, so if you hook up a powered 
speaker or two you would be able to hear the Ensemble sounds if they were 
present in the music file.  The other difference is whether or not it can 
use high density disks or only double density disks, and if it will play SMF 
1 files as well as SMF 0 files.

Good evening, everyone, and happy holidays!

According to my chart, the DKC100XG control unit came with the DGH1BXG, 
playback only Disklavier (made from 1996 to 2000). You mentioned that your 
piano is a model DGP1XG. I am not sure of the descrepancy.

Given the various permutations of the Disklavier (record & playback, record 
only, Pro, et cetera), the terms Mark II, Mark IIXG, and Mark III tend to be 
used somewhat loosely. If your unit is a DGH1BXG, the playback features of 
your instrument most closely match a Mark IIXG piano by virtue of the 
built-in XG tone generator, the support for Type 0 and 1 Standard MIDI Files, 
and the support for high-density disks.

The DGH1BXG came out less than a year before the full-featured Mark IIXG 
Disklaviers.

It's better.  It is a MarkIIXG which means it is a MarkII with a built-in 
tone generator. It might also be able to use high density disks as well as 
double density disks, although the units I have seen use double density.  It 
should also play MIDI format 0 files as well as the Yamaha ESEQ format.

I think our local Yamaha dealer bought a train load of this model 2 years 
ago just before Christmas.  They are play-only with the DKC100XG control 
boxes.  My chart (the same one as yours) doesn't match what I have seen in 
the field.  They only use double density disks and play only SMF 0 and Eseq 
formats.  But they do have the Ensemble sounds.

Glad to see someone else out there on Christmas!  We have been snowed-in all 
day and could not get to Pittsburgh.  Will try tomorrow.  If it weren't for 
the condition of being out of wrapping paper, I think I would have been 
playing with somebody's new laptop today!

For the record,the sales invoice says: model PDG1XG It plays high 
density 3.5 floppys or all yamaha piano soft,plus or XG..I went to 
the dealer and put in the same floppy i used into their 2003 model 
mark III,and it sounded just the same...The piano was purchaced 4-23-
99 as new..,but may of been made somewhat earlier.
 Possibly this is a model change over unit with features from new 
and old.
 Happy Holidays
