From a quick skim thru the huge manual, it would seem that the piano needs midi files. The piano some how diplays the musical notes(score) in a readable fashion, so not only can the player hear the music, but can also see the notes being played and thus learn the music. Question one. What is a program that will convert MP3, WMAs etc to midi (preferably free) Question Two. Has anyone out there in F1 land had any experience with this sort of applicationand can pass on any tips. I can see that this project is going to be one of those big time wasters with little hope of an economic return, so any help available will hopefully save me some time. Cheers HH	Happy Harry (321)

I had a customer come into the Cybercafe about 3 years ago wanting to do something like this, in the end they just spent an hour or two searching for midi files to download off the 'net coz they're so tiny and a lot more freely available when compared with MP3s.

514663	2007-01-10 07:51:00	Thanks Guys Will have a play and see what I can do. I have discovered that the piano also can use .kar files This seems to be a very complex piano and is going to take some learning. Thanks for all the advice. I will pass it on. Cheers HH	Happy Harry (321)
