Converting MIDI Data to a Standard Form (Strip XP)

Disklavier PRO pianos record highly precise control information (XP events) that becomes part of the MIDI song files. This data is used to achieve accurate playback on the Disklavier PRO, but is not used when the file is played back on general MIDI devices.

When you edit the song with external MIDI products (for example a software sequencer), the relationship between the note data and the XP event as well as the actual performance may not be maintained. There may be cases in which songs edited in this manner cannot be played back normally, depending on the instrument’s settings. In such cases, use the Strip XP function to remove the XP event to convert the song to standard MIDI format before using it for playback. Strip XP also makes it possible to reduce the size of MIDI files when desired.

Note: Once the XP event is stripped, the original data cannot be restored. Before converting valuable music data, be sure to backup the original data.

piano specifications

Yamaha pianos are renowned for their exceptional quality, rich sound, and innovative technologies, making them a popular choice among musicians and music enthusiasts. With a history dating back to 1887, Yamaha has continually evolved its piano designs to meet the needs of players across genres and skill levels.

One of the main features that sets Yamaha pianos apart is their diverse range of models, which includes acoustic, digital, and hybrid pianos. Acoustic pianos, such as the popular C-series grand pianos, are constructed with high-quality woods and materials, providing a traditional playing experience characterized by a rich tonal palette and impressive resonance. The YDP series of digital pianos incorporates advanced features while maintaining a traditional aesthetic, making them ideal for home use.

Yamaha's dedication to innovation is evident in its digital pianos, which boast cutting-edge technology. The Real Grand Expression (RGE) technology in premium models ensures an authentic touch and sound experience, closely mimicking that of an acoustic piano. The Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action emulates the heavier touch of lower keys and lighter touch in higher keys, allowing players to develop proper finger technique.

Another notable technology found in Yamaha pianos is the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which optimizes sound output at various volume levels. This feature ensures that the piano sounds full and balanced whether played quietly or at concert levels. Additionally, the Acoustic Optimizer improves sound projection and tonal clarity, delivering a more immersive playing experience.

For those who seek an interactive learning experience, Yamaha integrates educational features in its digital models. The Smart Chord and Smart Pianist app allows users to explore new songs and practice effectively, making it easier for beginners to learn and understand music theory.

Yamaha pianos are also designed with durability and craftsmanship in mind. The use of premium materials and precise manufacturing processes ensures that each instrument not only sounds incredible but is built to last. This commitment to quality and performance makes Yamaha pianos a trusted choice for aspiring musicians and seasoned professionals alike.

Ultimately, whether you’re looking for an elegant acoustic instrument or a technologically advanced digital piano, Yamaha offers a wide selection that meets the needs of every player, combining tradition with innovation to create instruments that inspire creativity and passion for music.
