Disk and Song File Utilities
This chapter describes the song formats and disk types that the Disklavier uses to control song data on
disks. This information is relevant to using the Disklavier song data with other Yamaha instruments or
MIDI equipment.
Song Format
Song format refers to the format in which songs
are recorded. The Disklavier supports both the
most commonly used Standard MIDI File (SMF)
format and Yamaha’s E-SEQ format.
Disk Types
You can format the Memory Disks and floppy
disks in either SMF or E-SEQ format, in
accordance with how else you plan to use the
disk. SMF type disk is recommended if you plan
to edit Disklavier songs on a MIDI instrument or
computer. E-SEQ is recommended if you plan to
play back the disk on earlier Disklavier models or
the Clavinova series.
Memory Disks are formatted as SMF type disks
as a factory presetting.
Note:
The terms “SMF type disk” and “E-SEQ type
disk” are unique to the Yamaha Disklavier, and
should not be confused with SMF and E-SEQ
song formats. Nevertheless, with the
Disklavier, song format and disk type have
much to do with each other.
SMF Type Disks
SMF type disks can store both SMF abd E-SEQ
songs.
If a disk is formatted as an SMF type disk, the
following display should appear as the disk title
display.
Up to 99 songs can be recorded onto an SMF type
disk, depending on the size of the song file.
E-SEQ Type Disks
E-SEQ type disks can only be used for E-SEQ
songs. It is not possible to copy SMF songs to an
E-SEQ type disk. E-SEQ disks can be played
back by earlier Disklavier models as well as by
the Disklavier.
If a disk is formatted as an E-SEQ type disk, the
following display should appear as the disk title
display.
Up to 60 songs can be recorded onto an E-SEQ
type disk.
Cl and Other Type Disks
Disks formatted by instruments other than the
Disklavier may be displayed as a Cl Type Disk or
Other Type Disk.
