Disklavier

Greetings to all.

I have followed this group for along time and honestly when I read the 
posting about the new poll being gathered, I still to this day do not 
know what kind of Disklavier I own.  Sadly I bought it from the local 
dealer and then Yamaha took away their dealership because of customer 
complaints I was told. So, since 1996 I have just played the paino 
myself and only own about 15 disks that I have purchased. Never have 
understood most functions of the piano as it didnt comw with an owners 
manual either. Can someone answer what model I own? It was made in 
1996, its a grand, and the model number is DGHIBXG. The control unit 
says DKC100XG. I never know which model most of you are talking 
about...sorry to be so dumb, but would appreciate some help. One day I 
hope we have a new dealer in town that can help me. Also I have thought 
about selling it to buy a Mark IV, but also don't have a clue what mine 
is worth. Thanks, Ray Moore

Hey Ray,

It appears that you have a Mark 2 4'11 Baby Grand with the XG 
controller.

You just missed the manual for your piano that was listed on ebay it 
sold for like 5 bucks:

HANDBOOK_W0QQitemZ290088372832

Heres the info that I found at Yamaha:

If your tired of paying for those diskettes and you own a laptop, go 
get a USB Midi adapter like this one:

Than Download The VanBasco Player and the 55mb zip file that I just 
posted and you'll have 4396 more songs to listen to on your G1

Yay!

=)

And it's a playback only model, so it's got no MIDI out and no recording facilities ( because it has no key or hammer sensors)

Good morning, everyone.

Ray, if your Disklavier was made for the North American market, you  
should expect Yamaha Corporation of America to support you. Call  
Yamaha Piano Service: (800) 854-1569 between 8:30-5:00 PST. Push 2 at  
the first menu choice and 2 at the second menu choice.

Regards,
PianoBench

Enter your serial number at this site to determine whether it was 
made for the North American market....  

You can look at some of the manuals on this site (PDFs for download) 
to see if something is similar...chances are you could find a manual 
of a similar control unit that may help you understand all of the 
menu functions of your piano.

You have a MarkIIXG playback only grand piano.  It has
a MIDI jacks, so you can hook up a computer and play
MIDI files from a playlist.  The computer would need a
MIDI interface.  Your unit can use both 2DD or 2HD
floppy disks, and plays both MIDI 0 and MIDI 1 format
files, as well as Yamaha ESEQ.

Greetings Holly,

There is a shareware program called QMIDI that runs on the Mac. It is
similar to VanBascos.

Very Good, Colin!

But before I dowmload 55 MB, I would be interested in a list that
tells something about 

-  title
-  composer
-  performer
-  other details of origin 
--  roll brand
--  roll number
--  year of production.

I think others would be as curious as me, too.

Walter

On the other hand, beggars can't be choosers.  I for one wouldn't want
to catalog every single song in that collection!  The effort of
downloading 55MB is negligible in comparison.  Thanks for all your
contributions Colin!

As most of the files were lifted from Terry Smythe' s rebirth project,
you can find most of the details on his website here:

http://members.shaw.ca/smythe/archive.htm

There is an excel spreadsheet with all of this information.

Terry deserves most of the credit for this work - without the efforts he
has made in scanning I doubt this zip file would exist at all.

Regards

James

Greetings Walter,

I believe Terry has a listing available. At one point I wrote a
program (mainly for his use)to dump all the text information in his
files to a tabbed text file. I have a variety of similar program that
I use for my own cataloging and will make sure the current (relatively
bug free) versions are available if anyone wants them. One program
lists all text events and track names. If text events are marked with
keywords in a manner that Terry adopted, at one point, they will fall
into the same column. One program will list all the data to an excel
file and will make hyperlinks to the file locations. You can play the
linked file by clicking on the link. The player that is associated
with .mid files will open and play the file. For the truly compulsive,
the excel sheet can be converted to an access database and serve as
the basis for a true filterable database from which you can do all
sorts of filtering and sorting.

I also wrote a program that allows you to select a bunch of file paths
from the database and play them "playlist" fashion. However it has a
serious memory leak that I can not fix because I am using a program
module that has a serious bug and can not program around it. I would
be interested in seeing someone else, who can write MIDI applications
in C, write a similar application that does work properly. My program
does work but it will eventually use up all your memory until you
reboot.

Hey Colin Thanks for the info!

I ordered the USB cable and installed the software....then I 
downloaded the VanBasco Player and some midi files but they still are 
not playing through the piano.
What settings do I need to look at or what have I not set up right? 
Thanks for your ideas, Ray Moore
