I used to be able to play MID files on my playback only XG model. Now all I get when I put in the diskette is "Please Wait" and a lot of clicking. I thought I was also able to read/play HD diskettes on this system. Can anyone give me some clues? Thanks. Stu

Could be a bad disk drive. Do the Yamaha PianoSoft disks play? If not, then it is the disk drive. Also, your piano will play MIDI format 0 files (don't think it plays MIDI format 1 from the floppy drive though). Do not mix file formats on the diskette.

Yes, it plays the PianoSoft disks just fine, painioo only as well as enhanced through the tone generator. I'll make sure the MIDIs are Format 0 files or will convert them if they aren't. I would still like to know if this machine will play high density floppies. I have a feeling it won't. Stu Miller --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, "Carol Beigel" <thecarolb@c...> wrote:

It should be able to use both DD and HD floppy disks, but only plays MIDI format 0 files and Yamaha ESEQ files.

One more silly follow-up question, please: how do I know if a MIDI file is a format 0 or a format 1? Thanks. Stu --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, "Carol Beigel" <thecarolb@c...> wrote:
