I think the acoustic grand used is a Yamaha Disklavier (it does have MIDI but may not be used that way). It's referred to in this post.



I might be way off base here (because what Peter and his people do is actually some kind of MAGIC, I think), but I would guess that the early piano RTs did not capture the MIDI performance - since they were concentrating on the audio part - but since they figured out how to do BOTH - create audio RTs and capture the MIDI to create the MIDI Supertracks of the same performance - that that is what they have been doing....

At least I hope that is the case and they continue to do that - I LOVE the MIDI Supertracks (I love the RTs, too).
