You connect the MIDI IN to the MIDI out cables to the keyboard - always MIDI 
In to a MIDI OUT.  The USB end of the cable connects to your computer.  You 
install the drivers that came on the CD.  You select software that runs on 
your computer that will record the MIDI data.  There are many programs that 
do this called sequencer software.  They can range from expensive to 
freeware and shareware. No matter what sofware you use to record the MIDI 
data, you MUST select your UX16 USB MIDI interface as the device you are 
using in the Options menu.  You can use headphones plugged into either your 
computer soundcard or speakers to listen to your music.

The nice thing about MIDI is that it is only data.  You can assign different 
sounds to different tracks, change key signatures and tempo, etc. with just 
a push of a button.  Good luck!

As Carol said, you can play around with sounds, tempo etc. One thing to be aware of, is that you are recording data only, not the sound of the keyboard. To do that, you would need to connect the ouput of your keyboard (1/4" stereo jack) to the input on your computer. Many sequencer programs will allow you to record bot MIDI and audio, so you'll only need to get one package (Cubase and Cakewalk are popular here in the UK)

What about from computer to a Disklavier and Sibelius?

2007-12-10 by Alex Mattus

Hi Carol,

Thanks for helping out. I have that UX16 USB device that I havent used yet because of things not yet clear to me.

I want to buy a Sibelius sofware for the Mac and hook it up to the midi. Couple of questions --

1) With this setup, would Sibelius be able to capture the notes as Disklavier is playing a piano piece from the floppy?

2) I guess it's possible for a piano piece written in Sibelius to be played back to a Disklavier thur its midi?

Thanks,

Alex

Re: [disklavier] For Carol Biegel -- RE: What about from computer to a Disklavier and Sibelius?

2007-12-11 by Carol Beigel

It is all just data. With Disklaviers, you do not need to capture what it plays through the MIDI Out. Whatever data you used to play the Disklavier can be opened as a MIDI file in any sequencer software from the floppy disk. However, if you want to bypass the DKV's floppy drive, by all means use the UX16 USB interface.

It looks to me like the Sibeluis products are for creating sheet music (scores) or creating MIDI files from scans of sheet music. I could see using this software if you sat at your Disklavier and composed as you played; but you could do the same thing by recording to the floppy then copying that data into your computer.

The MIDI interface is especially nice for using play lists to play music from your computer through your Disklavier.
