Disklavier

Carol,


I have experienced the same problem with my new Enspire Pro with certain some standard midi files. Timber floors probably accentuate the noise compared to a solid concrete slab floor despite the Persian rug I have beneath the piano. I bought 8 square black rubber anti-vibration isolation pads at the local hardware shop for $1 each, 4" square and 1/2" thick – and put 2 under each leg and also under the pedal lyre, between the carpet and the brass wheel. It helps immensely. I also fitted a stiff brass spring beneath the back of the sustain pedal to dampen the thump every time the pedal returns to 'off'. I doubt that it is what a technician would recommend, but it helps immensely.

> 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.

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.
