it is called midimod2 and you can get it from my spencerserolls.com site on the download page. it includes a feature to display a velocity distribution histogram of any midi file so you can see before and after plots. i also have a file player (it is nothing great in several respects) that does modify velocity realtime. i think i also wrote some little applications that send volume controllers to midi devices but i doubt the effect would be much different from using the volume control on the piano and depending on the version of windows can require something like midiox to glue it all together. i do not haeve any programs written for the Mac but most of my stuff does run under the various virtualizations programs. i have not tried any with VirtualBox on the Mac but it would probably work.
Rightnightboy; Thanks very much for your E-Mail and I wanted to ask you another question. You indicated below that on your MAC you use some software which you use to remap the velocity. What I have been doing is (Windows) is using one of several different shareware programs to change either the volume or the velocity but when I play the modified files from the flash drive it seems to be at the very same level as the original unmodified file. What software are you using? I have an iPad and was going to download the software via a wireless bridge so I can use the iPad which does have a volume setting (although I doubt it will make a difference). Is the “voiced” something that is done by a Yamaha tech or something I can do?

Hi, Im not the expert here (there are a few very good ones ! ) so I would guess that your piano is an E3 and I think it doesn't make a difference which file you download for E3 or for the dkc-850. I have an upright retrofitted with the dc-850 and yes in many cases the piano is too loud... So many say have the piano "voiced" (which I would eventually do) and that should help much... Otherwise I find that on the DKC-850 the lowest volume acceptable without muting is 6 ; from 7 to 10 the piano is mutes and many notes dont play.
I'm on a mac and I use some software also to remap and change the velocity on the fly so that works pretty well also. But I kind of think that a perfect soft piano sound, where one can quietly chat beside the piano is not reachable... (Im not an expert) it is not an amplifier that you can turn up or down .
One other thing i find that files that are stored on the DKV (in the FromToPc secti! on or on a usb stick) are playing better with less notes skipped in lower volume.. If anyone can comment on this I would appreciate !!!
