Hi all. I'm a decent keyboard player with a fairly extensive MIDI studio - 88 note controller, rack of MIDI modules including Kurzweil and two from E-Mu Systems, a tremendous Class A amp / speaker combo, and Mark of the Unicorn Performer 6 running on an 8 year old MAC. A good friend of mine who has long liked my music just purchased a Yamaha Disklavier Mark III.. a gorgeous piano, not even considering the amazing electronics hung off it. At any rate, I have a lot of solo piano pieces recorded in my Performer environment, and we're talking about me transferring some of the better piano pieces from Performer to floppy for the Yamaha. If it sounds as good as I hope it does, I'll drag my CD recorder and a couple of mics over there.. instant piano solo album. We've been doing the reading, and I know it handles Type 0 and 1 standard MIDI format (SMF) disks in PC or MAC format. The thing I'm not sure of, is WHICH MAC format.. mine dates from 1996 and is running OS 7.something. No DOS floppy emulation. I could email the .MID file to my PC and write the floppy there. Also, I had the habit of ignoring/muting Performer's 'metronome' function, just leaving it run / record at 120BPM.. assuming I solve the physical floppy format conversion, will the Disklavier have a problem playing MIDI files not recorded listening to the 'beat'? And I assume the piano part should be on Track 1 assigned to MIDI channel 1. I'll trim out the 'patch change' command but leave the pedal Continuous Controller (CC64) and Volume (CC7) information in the track. Correct? thanks! Karl
