Hi Carl,
Removing a Disklavier grand action from the piano is exactly the same as acoustic, other than the cable(s) being disconnected before removing it. Be sure to turn your piano off before disconnecting the cables.
I do not believe you will find anything in the action that will be the cause of the problem. I believe the problem is going to be something in the circuitry, but I cannot tell you really where to start. Spencer's suggestions would be a good way to continue your investigation.
Carl, do you have the service manual for your piano?
Bill

Hi again Bill,Sorry to bother you again about my pesky pedal recording problem. I thought I would give just one last thing a go before I conceded defeat. I think you alluded to it in you previous email. You suggested that there might be something physically interfering with the action and recording solenoids. I did take a look with a torch etc but didnt see anything.I haven't yet gone as far as sliding out the action to take a closer look. My question is .. does the DKV action slide out just like a normal action - apart from the two electric cables that need disconnecting? Is there anything else that can be easily damaged.? If its pretty straight forward I will have a look -but if it requires specialist handling I will get in the pros...Cheers, CarlOn Saturday, 18 April 2015, 23:53, "Bill Brandom bill.brandom03@...

Hi Carl,I just played the file. Help me understand:- you played middle C twice, with damper pedal down and the E plays between the 2 Cs?- if you just push the pedal down, without playing a C, will the E play (without you touching any key?)- what happens when you push the pedal down and only play the E four times, each a couple of seconds apart? Can you send the MIDI files to me?Bill iPhone

It seems to generate a sputtering of the notes when I play the sustain pedal. So its generates a series of unwanted notes in the recorded file. I have attached a small example midi file in which I played- middle C / sustain pedal / middle C again. If you can play it you will hear what I mean...

Good morning, everyone.Carl, I don’t understand what you are saying.Are you saying that when you push the sustain pedal, you generate a note-on message for E above middle C?Regards,PianoBenchOn Apr 18, 2015, at 2:20 AM, carlspost2@...

I have gone through all the possible set up issues but have not been able to resolve it. I know it must have something to do with midi channels etc... Does anyone please have a simple solution..??
