RE: [disklavier] Streaming Internet Radio that Plays My Piano

2014-11-18 by MixMeisterBob

I have always wondered why the DKC-850, since it has midi, is not able to be used on my Control Wagon?

It seems like Yamaha could expand the market for Disklavier Radio as I described by watermarking the streams, telling the user this, and requiring the user to sign a strict EULA when subscribing to the streaming service.  If streamed content appears in the wild despite the EULA, they'd have a shot at determining who leaked it from the watermark.

Another solution (Disklavier-only) would be to have the external application transmit the wireline MIDI with encryption applied, then provide a one-time firmware update for older Disklaviers to detect and decrypt the encrypted streams.

Good morning, everyone.

 

Bob, the direct answer is Yes.

 

DisklavierRadio and DisklavierTV are only supported by:

 

—E3

—Mark IV

—Mark II, Mark IIXG, Mark III which have a DKC-850 connected as a “replacement” control unit (as opposed to an add-on control unit that connects via MIDI cables)

So I have to replace my Disklavier piano to be able to stream?
