Thank you very much for your detailed answer !
Yes, if i connect them separately (midi in and out) and disconnetting the other connector everything works fine...yes you are right perhaps there are some midi loops somewhere...i will Have to double check.
About the mod , i would really like to Have a way to Have midi without having to use the floppy disk , if it's possible. That Because , in case floppy disk drive will be damaged in the future i cannot use midi any more and that's sad!
It's a non-sense in my opinion trying to add the dkc850 if i cannot get rid of the "floppy-thing" inside the main unit.
I wanted to use Disklavier Mark3 module (trying to adapt it to mx100) just because i can take it almost for free from a friend upgrading to dkc850 of his mark3. Perhaps we need to do the proper cabling adapting it...we would need service manual for mark3 perhaps to see if voltages / signal are compatibile (NOT passig through midi connectors i mean)
You seem to be very expert about piano Disklavier models! That's Great! Thanks a lot really! Do you know if there is a procedure to do a complete self test of the Disklavier to see if Its functionality is 100% everywhere in all Its parts ?
I would also like to add the silent bar, if possible , replacing the "mute" rail , controller by central pedal. If anyone has any suggestion will be appreciated! (I Made a post for that).
Thanks!
