Re: Video of Disklavier with cool computer MIDI effects

2008-09-01 by yeloc2

Thanks Dave,

I think I am going to be better off using hardwire, I do not even 
know if it is possible on a wireless network or not. I do appreciate 
your input and that was really neat what you did. I wish Yamaha would 
add to their site a non musician site showing easy fun things to do 
with the mk4.

Thanks again

Terry

IV's with their fancy internet connections.  :-).  My connection to 
the computer is through wired MIDI.  My XP sp2 computer has a MIDI 
interface that exposes a MIDI in & MIDI out.  I connect my piano's 
MIDI out to the interface's MIDI in, and the piano's MIDI in to the 
interface's MIDI out.  Then, from the sequencer, it sees the piano's 
MIDI connection like it would any other MIDI device.  Is that similar 
to how your wireless connection works?  Also, what kind of sequencer 
do you run?  If it's not Cakewalk, I wouldn't be able to give you 
specific instructions that work for you.
