Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

Sam, assuming that you are not going to upgrade your Disklavier with a DKC-850 and enjoy the benefits of an integrated tone generator, your diagram is the way to go.

There is one problem, however, with your last scenario ("If i want to play virtual piano in Computer from silent DKL...): When you change MIDI Out from Delay Out to Keyboard Out, the MIDI Out port no longer functions as a MIDI Thru port.

Regards,
PianoBench

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...
