Failing DKC500RW Control Unit

Failing DKC500RW Control Unit

2014-06-03 by scovis@...

I have a DC7 MkIIXG Pro, and the control unit, DCK500RW is starting to fail. I'm wondering if anyone in the group might have one they want to sell, or if anyone has suggestions on where I could find a used one. I've contacted Yamaha, and they seem to be all out of them.


I've also looked into replacing it with the DKC-850, but from what I can tell, this won't play back with the precision I get with the original control unit. I use the Disklavier to record my own performances, and the extra subtleties vs. a standard Disklavier make a big difference to me.


Any help would be much appreciated!
