Happy New Year! Do you get to see 2003 in Holland sooner than us in the US? (Back in my home it's already next year...) Your problem involves the types of floppy (720kb/1.44mb) and the types of MIDI file (0/1/E-SEQ) that your particular Disklavier can use - it would be easier for the experts in this group to help you if you could provide the model number of your Disklavier.

Hi Bas, "DKC-5R" looks like the model number for a control unit, not the Disklavier itself. Real professionals like PianoBench and Carol might know them by heart, but I'm less familiar with control unit models. For the Disklavier's model, you have to look inside the piano. These pictures are for locating serial numbers but the model number of mine is right next to the serial: http://www.yamaha.com/ycaservice/group005/biggrand.htm http://www.yamaha.com/ycaservice/group005/bigupright.htm Earlier Disklavier models can only use 720k double density floppy disks, not the 1.44mb high density floppy disks commonly found in computer stores. Also, the earliest models can only play Yamaha's E-SEQ files (extension .FIL), then later models added MIDI type 0, then even later models added compatibility for MIDI type 1 files. Whatever the generation your Disklavier is, the most universally playable format for Disklaviers would be E-SEQ - you can download a program from the group's file vault to convert MIDI files to E-SEQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/disklavier/files/Utility%20Programs/dkvutils.zip (Also, see if you can find an old 720k floppy to put the files on.) As to the Yamaha PianoSoft disks, they have a deliberately scrambled sector to prevent your computer from reading them normally (for copy protection reasons). However you can find a program in the same DKVUTILS collection that allows you to get the files out. Hope this is somewhat helpful so that you can play some new year music soon! CCW

Good afternoon, everyone. In a message dated 12/31/02 1:52:55 PM, Bas from Holland writes: << i have a Yamaha disklavier, i'm trying to download files but they doesn't work on my diskklavier??

This means that it only reads double-density disks and Yamaha's E-SEQ song file format. It will not read high density disks nor will it read Standard MIDI Files (SMFs). Although many on this list will recommend (and kindly assist you in) converting SMFs to E-SEQ files, help you find sources for double-density disks, and make suggestions for how to attach a tone generator to your instrument, my recommendation is that you add a Yamaha DSR1 to your Disklavier. This unit will provide you with a built-in tone generator, the ability to read both types of SMFs (as well as record type 0), and access to high density disks. Except for Yamaha-published software, you will be able to go back and forth between computer and Disklavier. Regards, PianoBench
