Re: [disklavier] Re: The key drive temperature is very high

If you have a MIDI file with most notes at maximum velocity, then that is what is causing your overheating problems with the key drive unit.

Don't play that file anymore without reducing the velocities and you should no longer get that error message.

Thank you for the diagram - I will definitely check that (a bit away from home this week).
Just the issue happened first time recently (twice) but now I cannot reproduce it even I used midi files to play for about 30 min.
It might happen that the issue was caused by a file that was not "designed" for disklavier - looks like all the notes had maximum volume. But not sure - I didn't want to run that file again as it was that loud and don't want to stress the piano again.
I might contact Yamaha but need to be sure what to tell them if it will be a consistent issue I think as a general maintenance was done recently (within 4 months).
