Hi everyone. I am a newbie to this site and downloaded some midi files from here. Unfortunately when I put them in my disklavier it gives me the message "disc not formatted". I had formatted them on the computer and then did the download to the disc. Is there some procedure problem I am missing here?? Thanks for any advice or help. Oh, the unit is a MX-100 on the U-1. It is a used unit from early 2000's. Thanks, Rob G.

It may be older than that! It it an XG system? If so, then and HD floppy should work with an IBM format. If it is a MX100II and NOT an XG system, then you need to jump through lots of extra hoops. What is the control box model? Do Yamaha PianoSoft disks work?

Yes it does play the PianoSoft discs fine. On one of the discs that I downloaded recordings in MID format extension to I re-formatted it right on the disklavier and recorded a song on the unit fine. I then tried to listen to that recording on the computer and it told me that the disk was not formatted on the computer. The PianoSoft discs on the computer gives the same message. The unit is built into the piano and the manual says that it is a MX100. Does that help?? Rob --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, "Carol Beigel" <thecarolb@c...> wrote:

Carol; Kick me for this but ... My Yamaha is a 1990's unit not 2000's unit as I had initially typed (oops!!). I see from other digging that that vintage needs firstly 2DD discs and the Yamaha site that your web site link directed me to also has another version of download software for that vintage of the MX100. So sorry! Thanks for youe efforts. I will try tho get the 2DD discs and see what happens.
