Re: [disklavier] Mark IV PRC 4.01 problem with DKV 4.02? Elton John not looking good for me!

2013-01-30 by Bill Brandom

At this time we have not yet gotten the rights for a re-broadcast or on-demand use of the Elton performance. Yamaha is working hard to get those rights. Yamaha will let you know if we get to broadcast it again.

Hi Bill, is Elton's performance archived anywhere?  We are on the east coast and tried to make it to 2am, but had to give up during Michael MacDonald :-(


Thanks!

That worked fine, and I could connect to the DKV, but get the same incompatibility error when I run the interface, both at v3.0 and when it "successfully" updates to 4.01.
