Good morning, everyone.

Ryan, the Wagon Grand has several MIDI settings to be aware of:

MIDI Out
If MIDI Out is set to Keyboard Out, what you play on the keys is sent to the computer. If it is set to Delay Out, what is played from the floppy disk is sent to the computer.

In the case of Keyboard Out, you have a choice of channels on which to send MIDI data, from 1-16 plus a special setting called HP. If you choose HP, notes and on/off pedals are sent on channel 1 and incremental pedal data is sent on channel 3. You also have choices for transposing the MIDI data and splitting the keyboard so that the lower end sends notes on the designated MIDI channel and the upper end sends on the next higher channel.

MIDI In
You have 2 choices here: Delay In and Realtime. You should almost always choose Delay In for accurate playback (an exception would be using the software program Internet MIDI). When set to Delay In, you’ll hear the performance 1/2 second late but the timing should be accurate.

You also have a choice of channel (from 1-16 and HP) for MIDI input. If you are not sending MIDI data to the piano on a channel that matches the piano’s receive channel, you won’t hear anything.

In your case, I suspect one of the following problems: 

(1) The MIDI In and MIDI Out cables are reversed.

(2) You are not sending MIDI data to the piano on the same channel that the piano is set to.

If you need a manual for the Wagon Grand, you can download a PDF from the Disklavier Education Network website:
