New Music for Disklavier and Synthesizer

Files may be copied from CRCA's disklavier ftp site. Pieces from CRCA are the directory http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/files/midi/disklavier/crca/. There are indices and readme files in ASCII to provide documentation. Pieces may be played for not-for-profit occasions. Any other use, including recording, must be negotiated with the individual composer.

Compositions are stored as standard MIDI files in mac format. Pieces are also collected on Disklavier format disks.

Other works that do not fit the format we have set up are listed and contact numbers given. Also, look here for links to other Disklavier sites.

The archive includes documentation of concerts. This should be of use to others who are planning concerts in their own area.

We compiled a list of recordings featuring Disklavier.

Undocumented features.

While the original Disklavier used its own file format to record songs (on IBM-PC format double density disks) it may also read MIDI files. Software to convert between Disklavier format files and MIDI files may be purchased from Gary Giebler or Yamaha.

We started a page with information about companies and artists distributing Disklavier products.

If you have a plug-in for your browser such as Crescendo you could be hearing Tim Labor's "Blackjack" now.

Disklavier Discovery was a project of Robert Willey, at that time a  research associate at the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts, University of California, San Diego.  Currently: robert@willshare.com

Thanks to Joel Kabakov, Mike Bates, and the Yamaha Corporation of America.
