Re: [disklavier] Play Disklavier through Laptop Computer

2003-07-29 by yg ao

Carol, Thank you.  In my mind, making computer to play
DKV is none trivial thing.  So I always thought there
are something else there I didn\ufffdt do it right.  And I
knew you and others out there always offers great
help.  Since it didn\ufffdt work right I used an
oscilloscope to check out the Midisport and realized I
made a mistake.  On the Midisport midi out, it said
"to midi out."  So I thought that is the midi out and
connected to the DKV\ufffds midi in.  What a thoughtful
thinking!  It is simple than I thought.  Thank God it
works great now!  I enjoyed it and thank you all for
your help.
