Re: [disklavier] Disklavier Mark III MIDI trouble

2015-08-09 by James Fry

Hi Carlos,

If your Disklavier is a playback only model as Bill suggested then you will need to retrofit it with MIDI sensing electronics before you can do what you want. Supposedly the QRS PNOscan system is one of the better and simplest to install (it's optical, but as it fits under the keys it is still quite a big job), or you can get the Moog Piano Bar that rests on top of the keys. Neither gives the same quality result as the recording disklaviers as they miss the hammer velocity sensing.

Regards,

James

Hi,

I would like to be able to use the Disklavier as a master keyboard, possibly to control other keyboards, as well as to input notes directly into notation software (Finale). Perhaps the latter is possible using the Disklavier's Host port. However, my PowerMac is a relatively recent model, and doesn't have DIN 8-pin or serial inputs (only ethernet, USB and Firewire).

Thanks!
