Name That Model

2005-07-14 by Bob Gonzalez

Can anyone tell me which DLV has the following characteristics? The control panel has nine buttons on the far right side (-/no, 0, +/yes, left, right, enter, disk, metronome, func/edit). To the left of the nine buttons is the knob, then four vertically positioned buttons (volume, transpose, tempo, repeat). Then comes the usual part select, record, song sel/rev-fwd, stop and play/pause. Next is the display over floppy and power switch. The rear panel has only the foot control jack, midi in and midi out jacks and the mains power switch. There are no audio out puts, no "to host" or selector switch for midi/pc1/pc2/mac, and no plug for piano cable. Maybe these controls are on a panel I could not see.

The model is on an early to mid 1990s upright. I'm pretty sure it is not a Mark II XG. I guess it is a Mark I if there is such a thing. Is there a place where I can learn about the various Marks and the years they were sold.

Thanks for all responses.

It is a MarkII Disklavier.  The controller is a
DKC100R.  It is older than the MarkIIXG which had the
XG sounds, audio out and the To Host port.  This DKV
only plays ESEQ and MIDI format 0 files. from the older
720k floppy disks.

You can buy the hardware upgrade which is a DSR-1
control box.  This would give up the capability of
using HD 1.44 Mb floppy disks, play MIDI format 0 and 1
files, record MIDI files to the floppy drive, have XG
built-in sounds, a To Host port and a Memory disk.

I am assuming that this control box is built into the
lid of the piano.  If so, it was made between 1992 and
1994.
