Most MIDI files do not have pedal data on ch 3 which my Mark II seems to require. MIDIMod does this for me - invaluable.

i have a free program called midimod2 on my web site on the download page. it will do some of what you need to make files work on the DKV but there are all sorts of things that might be wrong with the file and my program only fixes a few things. the main use of the program is to modify loudness profiles but there is an option to put piano parts on channels 1 and 2 and pedal on channel 3. depending on the vintage of DKV you have, you may need to convert to type 0 MIDI. i have another program on the same page that does that. both programs work in batch mode so you can process a lot of files with little effort.

Yes, I downloaded a midi file from Yamaha and it worked fine. Must've been the files themselves, unless I did something wrong? Basically I was on midiworld.com clicked to download some files to the desktop and then transferred to a thumb drive. Is there some software I need to run them through first?

Did you check that the track with the data is set to channel 1 or channel 4? I use Anvil Studio to edit the midi files and set the channel for playback on my disklavier. Hope this helps.
