Disklavier

Mark, i received the external USB floppy, my Win7 64-bit recognized the drive immediately, your program worked like a charm! I'm now listening to old recordings my brother made on disklavier.

Small issue is that recordings seem a bit soft and volume knob on dkl won't change anything. I think i've seen software where one can control MIDI volume?
