Disklavier

Pianobench, thanks for the reply. As I took a look at the nice reference guide I noticed this fact - MIDI OUT can be changed to MIDI THRU in the settings - neat!

Without some type of MIDI junction box, I think I would need to keep switching cables to send MIDI OUT from disklavier to MIDI IN of computer for playing of virtual piano (Synthogy Ivory)? Or connect MIDI THRU on MU50 back to computer MIDi in, then switch settings when needed? I'd have to keep MU50 on all the time.

I think i'd better make a diagram of this. :-)

There are latency settings in some advanced sequencers I have, but I was hoping there would be a simpler way to play back multi-channel MIDI files...
