Disklavier

I have read most of the messages relating to downloading files in the 
midi format, but now I am totally confused as to how to put these 
files on a 2dd disk. I have an old 1990 mx100b disklavier from Japan. 
That's all I could afford for now. I can't play the piano myself but 
do love the sound of the acoustic piano.

Will some one please show\tell me steep by steep how to put midi 
files on to a disk to play in my disklavier. 

                                              Thanks so much!

Your MX100B will not play MIDI files from a floppy disk  The MX100B only
plays ESEQ files on genuine, double density, 720k floppy disks. Forget using
a 1.44 disk and taping over the hole.

If you want to play MIDI files on a MX100B without first converting them to
the ESEQ format, you need to use a jukebox or music sequence software
program on a computer connected to the DKV via a MIDI interface.

You can convert MIDI  to ESEQ files using the MID2ESEQ program in the
dkvutil software available in the files section of this group. You must then
format a 720k diskette  on your computer and put the ESEQ files on it.

If this does not work, buy a copy of the Giebler utilities.  Use this
software to convert MIDI files to ESEQ files, format 720k disks, place ESEQ
files on the disks.
