Recording Disklavier performances

2003-07-23 by sjhart110110

First of all, I don't have a Disklavier, but am seriously 
considering purchaseing a DC3A.  If I record something, how do I 
transfer the data to my PC which is running Sonar 2.2?  Does this 
come across as a standard midi file?  Can I correct some of my 
performance data (ie. note mistakes, etc.) and then play it back on 
the Disklavier?  Do I lose any performance/key/hammer/pedal 
information when I make a midi file out of it?   I am referring to 
the piano in ANALOG mode (not playing the digital piano tones, but 
the disklavier actually playing the notes/keys/etc.).  Thanks!  SJ

There are at least two ways that you can capture your performance:

1) You can record a MIDI file to the DC3A's diskette drive, move the 
diskette to your computer, and open the file in Sonar.

or

2)  Using a MIDI interface between your computer and DC3A, you can 
record directly into Sonar.

+++ Yes.

Do I lose any performance/key/hammer/pedal

+++ You won't lose anything.
