Notes on the files created on the Disklavier PRO Series

The song file created on the Disklavier PRO Series contains various data that enable high-accuracy in song playback. However, those data can not produce any expected results and, moreover, may control the keys unnaturally when the song file is modified on the external MIDI device such as sequencer, etc. The above mentioned problem does not occur in the following cases:

•When the song file stored/loaded in the Disklavier PRO Series is played back on the Disklavier PRO Series through an external MIDI device without any modification on that device.

•When the song file is output from the [MIDI OUT]

terminal or the [USB ] port on the front of the I/O Center and played back on another MIDI device. Any modifications are available.

•When the following event is deleted from the song file. A0 kk dd : Polyphonic Key Pressure
