Disklavier

Hopefully someone with more knowlege than myself will tell you a solution.  
My understanding of MIDI and Disklaviers is that MIDI files that come over 
the internet, or appear on floppy disks can be manipulated or edited in 
sequencer software, but MIDI on a CD (which is audio) needs to run through 
an analog converter.  Although your piano can play MIDI from a CD, because 
somewhere in that chain is a little black box like a MIDIman or a Yamaha CD 
player with a converter already built-in, I do not know of a way to pull the 
MIDI information off a CD.

I, too, would like to know how to separate or extract the MIDI data from the 
audio on a CD; and how to make my own CDs that have both audio and MIDI.
