I’ve been developing software to assist player piano and, in particular, Yamaha Disklavier owners with common problems. I independently develop all my software, and it’s currently in its early development phase. If you have any notes, please don’t hesitate to contact me and report bugs or request features.

APS MIDI Title Editor
APS MIDI Title Editor is a simple yet powerful tool designed to change the title of the first track in a MIDI file. This allows for clearer and more organized song names. It’s especially useful for Yamaha Disklavier owners want their songs properly displayed on the instrument’s screen. There’s a fuller post about APS MIDI Title Editor here.
This makes it easier to navigate and play back performances. With a quick and intuitive process, users can load a MIDI file, modify its track title, and save the changes.
Version 0.1.1 64-bit Windows: Installer / Portable EXE

APS Shortener
APS Shortener is helps you rename music files so they are compatible with early Yamaha Disklaviers. Early player systems can only read short filenames (DOS 8.3). Simply drag and drop your files into the program, and it will automatically create shortened copies while keeping the originals untouched. There’s also a fuller post about the problem APS Shortener solves here.
Version 0.1.0 64-bit Windows: Installer / Portable EXE
