What is meant by optimised for mechanical pianos?
The internet offers a lot of free MIDI music (including scans of piano rolls) that can often only be played on a MIDI sound generator or computer. Playing this music on a Disklavier or PianoDisc can mean excessive volume, lost notes, poor repetition, missed phrasing and bad pedalling. The PA erolls were developed from the outset for use on a mechanical piano. Each file was monitored during recording on a mechanical piano and the volume range is set to suit a typical Disklavier or PianoDisc. They sound fine when played electronically, but are at their best on a real piano. See downloads page for sample files to try on your piano.
