Disklavier

Hello and welcome to this group.
I think the Pub has bought a second hand import from Japan Yamaha
disklavier, normally the display is in english when sold by a real Yamaha
dealer. In Europe is a huge amount of sales of second hand Yamaha from
Japan. They are conditioned for the Japanese home market and can have
problems wit humidity in Europe.
This model is one of the first disklaviers, today we will find the control
unit as a seperate box. Also your disklavier does not have a sound module
build in. Of course you can play other midi instruments with this
disklavierk, but it is possible that you have to change some settings in the
disklavier wich is very difficult if you can not read japanese language !.

Hi and Happy New Year to you all,

I'm new on this list so I will start by introducing myself. I'm a french
musician and singer working with guitars and synthesizers. I work in a
Pub in the city of Toulouse which owns a Disklavier. It's great for me
to play on such an instrument but no document can be found and I'm
facing some problems...

Can somebody tell me the age of this instrument ? It's a black bright
piano and the disk module is integrated in the top (not upon it). There
are only 5 or 6 buttons and a display on the right of the drive and the
words below them are in japanese, the display too ! Midi in and out are
below the keyboard, on the right side.

Playing a disk is OK and I have a Midi signal at the Midi out, but I
can't control my expanders from the piano keyboard. My aim is to add
some strings pads to the piano sound and to control the volume of the
strings with a FC7 control pedal plugged in my MCS2. Do you think it's
possible ?

Thank you and best regards.

Jihem
