Has anyone tried running the Mark IV's Virtual PRC on an Android device, perhaps using JBED Android Java Emulator or something similar?
The normal way to access the Virtual PRC is to:
--use your computer to probe your network for a volume whose name starts with "dkv"
--open the DNA folder inside that volume
--open the file called "prcstart.php"
This will launch your web browser which will then copy prcstart.php to a temporary location on your computer's hard drive and open it with Java. Along the way, you have to provide a username and password which, by default, are:
root
prcstart
I have found that I can save this file to a permanent location on my Mac's hard drive. Assuming that I have Java installed on my Mac and have changed the file's name to "prcstart.php.jnlp", I can run this Java application at will. Interestingly, my Mark IV often does not show up as a volume in my Mac's Finder. However, this Java application never seems to have trouble finding the Mark IV on my network.
It has occurred to me that perhaps this application could be copied to an Android device and run in the JBED Android Java Emulator. Unfortunately, I don't have an Android device with which to experiment.

DKVBrowserwill give you some control of your new E3 from Windows (it was originally designed for the MarkIV, so many features will not be available for your E3).Unfortunately, Yamaha still doesn't support Android in any fashion. Droidklavier is third-party (MarkIV only, so it wont work with your E3, though I've considered changing that.)As others have mentioned, a used ipod touch would make a pretty good remote, but who really wants to add *more* devices when they already have functional ones?-KevinFrom: Ted <plpfoot@...>

Dear Carol:
I was wondering if there was a difference there. Thank you.

That Android App is for the MarkIV which is a different Disklavier. You are getting and E3 and would need a different app.

It can be controlled with a computer connected to your home network in the From/To PC Folder. You might want to invest in an Apple hand held like a cell phone sized iPod, or an iPad. these gadgets also work with Apple TV and iTunes installed on your PC.

I expect to receive my DU1E3 in Mid March or so. Yamaha says it can be controlled with Apple products (ipad, itouch, iphone) but I am a Windows man. Can it be controlled with Windows or Android based machines?Thanks,Ted.
