Re: [disklavier] Sustain Pedal rattling on dkc100rMK2 and C7 Conservatory

2003-03-17 by Carol Beigel

Does the Disklavier and pedals work properly when you play and record from a 
floppy disk?  If so, there is nothing wrong.  If the problem occurs when 
using the computer, try putting the pedal information on Channel 1 or 2.  or 
you could convert this MIDI file to Eseq file and put the pedal info on 
channel 3?
