DKC-850 upgrade questions
2015-11-29 by pgosselinqc@...
1-Is it possible to transfer Floppy disk content without buying the USB floppy drive ?
2-How does one structure a USB thumb drive to set up MIDI files as "Albums" and/or Playlists ?
3- Is is possible to randomize/shuffle Songs/Albums/Playlists on the DKC-850 or via an iPad/iPhone app? I haven't tried those apps yet due to question #4.
4- What's the recommended hardware to bridge the DKC-850 via Wi-Fi or Electical wiring onto a home network ?
5- What would be the software recommendation under MacOS for software to modify MIDI files to enable consolidation of MIDI channels to get both cords/melody to play on the real piano ? I've been playing with QMIDI to mute out some MIDI channels but that software doesn't allow "merging" of MIDI channels.
6- What is/was the purpose of the DIN-8 connector labled "CD Control" that is now left unused ? There is a huge ferrite bead/choke on each of the cable. The DKC-850 upgrade instructions don't mention this cable at all.
7- The Mark III has built-in speakers and a large amp underneath that now has the DKC-850 plugged into the AUX IN L/R inputs. There was nothing plugged into this before (normal ?). Anyhow this amp has a huge amount of background HUM present on it. Is this a known problem ? How can this be fixed ?
8- The DKC-850 doesn't always correctly display the song name/filename. Sometimes is displays ********* as the song name. Weird. The DKC-850 is brand new, should I look to upgrade the firmware ?
That's about it for now. Thanks.
