Default Extracting the MIDI sequence from a Pianosoft Plus audio/MIDI CD?


"Keoki" wrote in message

I have a bunch of Pianosoft Plus audio/MIDI CDs originally released
for the Yamaha Disklavier. Does anyone know a way how the MIDI
information (piano track) from the discs could be extracted without
access to a Disklavier? I'd like to try those piano sequences on
keyboards I do own.

Unless Yamaha devised some magic CD file format of its own, I'd
presume their audio/MIDI CD's are simply CD-XA (Mixed Mode) CDs, where
the extra info is MIDI data. How do I peel it out?


I'm not sure it can be done.
I found this older thread:

Search "Pianosoft" on this page:

Hope this helps.
ps. I used to sell this stuff years ago. Please post here if you have any
positive results.
