Re: [disklavier] pedal noise question

Thank you, George.  I noticed some very important events on the third day of playing with the new system.

1) the files were NOT corrupted!  I was too impatient to realize they were being downloaded from iCloud.  Once downloaded, they worked just fine.  Apparently in Sierra, everything is stored on the cloud  to make space on the computer.  I now have over 770 Gig left on the 1T fusion drive

2) I did not realize you need to turn on the MD-BT01 TWICE each time you turn on the Disklavier.  One needs to look at MIDI Studio time, then wait a nanosecond and look at the bottom window.  Select the MD-BT01 to turn it on.

3) Yesterday, I simply turned off the soft pedal by setting the volume to 4.  I heard no pedal thumps all day!

4) After 7 years, I am finally reading the Logic Pro manuals to learn how to edit MIDI files.  I have Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro 9.  It is tempting to get Logic Pro X so the audio and MIDI editing software is in the same place on one screen.

I am very happy with Sierra, but I needed Windows 7 to convert the floppies.  BTW, for those disks that have .fil files (those ESEQ files that have been converted so the computer sees them on the floppy) I cannot convert those to MIDI.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you very much!
