Disklavier

I agree with you that this feature would be great.  In
fact, the QRS Pianomation Chili system has this
capability.  It is my understanding that even though
all CDs look alike, they can have different formats and
standards.  The PianoDisc, QRS and Yamaha audio CDs
that have MIDI on them that play the pianos, put the
MIDI through an analog to digital converter.  The audio
is on one track and the MIDI is on the other.

Perhaps the MarkIV will have this capability, or there
might eventually be some software update or hardware
upgrade that would provide the capability to  play MIDI
files from CDs on the Disklavier.
