pedal noise question

2017-05-13 by Carol Beigel

Greetings!  Now that you helped me control by Disklavier Mark IIXG remotely from the computer in the next room via Bluetooth wireless, I have discovered another problem.  For years I auditioned my MIDI files using the computer synthesizer.  Now I can listen to them actually playing the piano!  To my surprise, many files are corrupted and won’t play from my computer, but I can redo those and test them in real time.

However, yesterday, on many files, I could hear the pedal noise (loud clunk) all the way into the next room!  So far today, I have not had that problem, but I think it is the data on some files, so it depends upon what files you are playing.

Am I correct in assuming this is a controller message that operates the pedal? I assume the value is between 0 and 128?  Where to I find the controller message in editing software?  To be specific, since I am operating on an iMac running Sierra, I will be using Logic Pro 9 to edit MIDI files providing I figure out how to even load a MIDI file and find the controller.

I also own a Windows 7 laptop where I converted (backed up) the ESEQ files to MIDI files.  I realize that a lot of Disklavier utility software only works on Windows, so let me know if I should edit these MIDIs in Windows.

All suggestions welcome. I know others have also had this problem and I have suggested that perhaps the pedal solenoid needs be adjusted.  This is not the case.
