I have a MX100A with a DSR1 and a CDC1 hooked up to it so I can pretty much have it play anything. I have a QRS catalog and was wondering what CD's of QRS would play on my set up. Anyone know? Their catalog mentions that the floppies for Yamaha begin with the number 600,000 or 660,000 Says nothing about their CD's playing on a Disklavier. Thanks.

I think QRS CDs will play on this setup. I would buy one CD and try it out. The only reason to put MIDI files in a CD is to have audio play along with them. The QRS floppy disks for DKV have the pedaling information on a different track. QRS files don't have incremental pedaling - just on/off, and I believe they don't have dynamic range either - the velocity is set to 64.

Why not ask QRS first? You can e-mail QRS at info@... BTW, the note velocity range of the QRS MIDI files that I have seen tend to be a little high, but they do have dynamic range . . . the note velocities are not all set to 64. The sustain pedal on the files I've seen are indeed on/off. The sustain pedal on many, particularly older, PianoSoft diskettes are also on/off. (For example, Steve Allen, "Things My Heart Tells Me".) Some good reasons to put MIDI files on CDs: CDs should last with little risk of corruption, they are cheaper than diskettes, and have plenty of capacity.
