Midi Transfer Recordings To Disklavier

Midi Transfer Recordings To Disklavier

2001-05-29 by doechase@midsouth.rr.com

Many thanks to all of you giving us help on working on being able to 
record from our computer to diskettes for the piano.  We look forward 
to your continued support and information that you furnish.

The model book that came with our Disklavier has the following 
numbers on the front of the book:  DGP1XG/DGH1BXG.  Hope this will 
furnish additional information to assist us in working with our 
recording to diskettes from midi sites - again, many thanks!!!

Both the DGA1 and the DGP1 Disklaviers use the same control box, DKC55 
(Playback only)  You should be able to use both 2DD and 2HD diskettes, and 
play ESEQ, MIDI 1 and MIDI 0 files.

Format your disks on your computer using standard IBM full format.  You must 
keep each type on separate disks. Put .fil files (Yamaha ESEQ files) onto a 
disk that only has these types of files on it.  If you have downloaded a 
MIDI 1 files from the internet, just copy them to a diskette that only has 
MIDI 1 files on it.  Same for MIDI 0.

The disks won't play if they have files with mixed formats on them.

doechase,
If you haven't done so already, I suggest you download the dkvutils zip file of freeware utilities from the utility folder in the "files" section of our group site. A text documentation file is included in the zip. It will enable you to make lovely customized, disk and song titled, compilations in eseq format quickly and easily with a little practice. Convert from one format to another with a simple drag to a box. Title songs by right clicking and setting their properties, backup your commercial software to hard disk and/or CD, etc. etc. etc. Learn how to use them and you will be addicted in no time at all. If you run into problems, there are a couple hundred experts right here, anxious to help.
BTW, for those members who missed the PS in my most recent rant/rave, my personal family website has been totally rewritten and is worth a new visit. The pages of most interest to this group, are "Player Piano", "Erica's Page", and the "Links" page. If you want to see me half "in-the-bag" one Halloween, you can search through six different photo albums. Constructive criticism (and/or compliments) are most welcome, but do that on my direct email to avoid boring the group. The site link is http://MuncyFamily.com and my email is disklavier-owner@yahoogroups.com .
TTFN,
Todd
P.S. 400 members now and still growing!

If you are still having trouble, convert the MIDI files on the internet to 
MIDI format 0 files.  Put only MIDI 0 files on a disk.  Although my 
literature says that piano will play MIDI 1 files on HD disks, I am not sure 
I ever got that to work.  But MIDI 0 does work.

The other thing that will always work, is to convert the files you find on 
the internet to ESEQ files (the convert program in the DKV utilities) and 
put them on Yamaha formatted disks using the DD (one hole, old style) 
diskettes.
