Disklavier

Files with the .fil extension are in the proprietary Yamaha e-seq format which Windows won't recognise.

i recommend using the midi input and forgetting about floppies. it is true that the event timing is slightly better playing fil files from the floppy but not worth the trouble IMHO

Many thanks for the replies, been a good help, the ppc3 seems only to read .fil files, i had to format the 2dd disk in a dos window then put it in the ppc3 and press stop and play to register the disk, then i download the fil files then they play on the piano. a bit of messing but got there, i see the majority of files are midi files which ot wont play, i found the convertor programme on the utlils page but when i open it it opens a dos window and asks for the yamaha disk, how do i get the midi files from the web page to pass thru this convertor ? so they come out as fil files ? thanks
