Disklavier

Does anyone know of where I can find XP quality music for the 
Disklavier Pro? To my knowledge only the E-compitition files and home 
recordings done on a Pro are of XP quality. Thanks

for is there just no XP quality music out there? Thanks Again.

Good morning, everyone.

To my knowledge, the Piano-e-Competition recordings are the only ones  
available in XP format.

The problem may be that by today's standards, professional-level MIDI  
or Audio recordings--other than live performances, such as the P-e-C  
recordings--require editing. Regrettably, there are no convenient  
MIDI editing tools that enable someone to correct wrong notes, fix  
sloppy rhythm, etc. in an XP recording. Although you can-- 
theoretically--use any sequencer, the nature of XP data is such that  
is very difficult using tools that were not made for this purpose.  
Furthermore, the typical sequencing program does not maintain certain  
structure features of an XP MIDI file (such as the exact order to  
crucial XP MIDI events that take place on the same clock tick).

XP MIDI is used on the Disklavier MK4 PRO models.

It gives you 1024 levels of velocity and touch, instead of the usual 128. The extra information is contained in additional controller messages, which makes it difficult to work with on a normal sequencer.
