Disklavier/PianoDisc Compatability
By Erik Siverson
Speaking as a new participant in this group, and new to the Internet in general, I find it exciting to be in this network of automatic instrument enthusiasts. By way of introduction my name is Erik Siverson. I am a piano technician by trade, but not really a player piano specialist. I have a 1922 Steinway Duo-Art grand, and a Yamaha Disclavier.
As a technician I have learned to service, adjust, and trouble-shoot the Yamaha Disclavier instruments; but the processing of MIDI data, file types, and compatabilities, is still to me a "black art". I admire the knowledge of Wayne Shahnke, Robbie Rhodes, and others, and am starting to glean bits of understandable information from them with every installment of the Digest.
I have a some basic questions:
Can anyone tell me if PianoDisk software and Disclavier software is compatable. I understand that Disclavier instruments read "continuous pedal data" for variations in pedal stroke while PianoDisk reads only "pedal on, and pedal off". In other words: will PianoDisk disks play on Disclavier systems? If not, can the be converted somehow?
Is it possible to transfer Disclavier files over the Internet to other users?
Does any one know of any Disclavier related sites on the Net?
