Re: [disklavier] Disklavier Mark III MIDI trouble

2015-08-25 by sanchezc2264@...

Hi everyone, again. Further to my earlier questions about my Mark III DGB1CD disklavier, I am having a new problem about which I could use some advice. When attempting to play MIDI files off my mac computer (usually using the notation program Finale) through the disklavier, 1) the piano is not playing very soft notes (marked below "p", or a MIDI value below 40) The keys (and solenoids inside) do move a little, but no hammer action takes place. Also, 2) when there are fast, repeated notes, the disklavier only plays the first note on a sequence, not the rest. Could the latter be because the piano only receives "key on" signals?

I hooked up an external keyboard to use as a MIDI master, and the same problem persists: Neitehr very fast, nor very soft notes are played on the disklavier.

Can anyone suggest a solution or workaround for any, or both of these problems? Can I have the disklavier mechanism re-calibrated, or adjusted so it can play soft, fast notes accurately? Could this be a software problem?

Thanks!!

Carlos
