Re: [disklavier] Is it normal that playback is louder than sound produced during recording?

Good evening, everyone.

This statement below is not true of the PRO and really hasn't been true of Disklaviers with hammer sensors since the Mark IIXG or Mark III.

What is true is that you have to play whisper quiet and thunderously loud to generate super low velocities and velocities above 110.

As far as MIDI velocities are concerned, any Disklavier will modify the MIDI velocities at the extreme ends, i.e. minimum velocity will be around 30-40 and maximum velocity will be just above 100. (electronic keyboards will play any velocity from 0 to 127)
