Re: [disklavier] Sustain Pedal producing note sounds in sequencer

Carl,

Congratulations! I didn't even consider your MIDI interface being the problem!

I will add this to my list of troubleshooting possibilities!

Hi Bill,

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Thanks for the help with this but I fixed the problem very easily without the need for complicated adjusting of settings or pulling the piano apart. 

All I did was simply replace the USB-Midi cable with a better quality one and the problem was instantly resolved! Goes to show that cheap is cheap for a reason!

Regards,
Carl

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?

Hi Pianobench,

Yes thats corrects. 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... Cheers, Carl

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?

PianoBench

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..??
