[disklavier] Disklavier midi delay

2000-02-28 by Gregg Karukas

Hi ,

Anyone else using the Disklavier Pro for Computer/MIDI dissapointed w/
the midi lag on midi out of the DK. Any tweaks for better response?

I just took delivery of my new DC7 PRO and the internal recorder is 98%
there and great for the home market, but using it for precise
(professional, real time, jazzy ) midi recording has been time consuming
and has me dissolutioned. I have no problem compensating for the 500 ms
delay on a ghost track for piano playback, but this is not
"profesional".

Local mode sounds fine in Silent. I am recording into PC / VST / LOgic
.  But when I go to Local off ( Midi thru the PC) I experience what
feels like 3-8ms delay. Not fun for playing tight. Also, the events
appear late on the edit screen so selectively quantizing notes moves
them farther away from the unquantized ones. Not acceptable.

Another BIG  problem: the midi note length on output is shorter >  I can
tell the difference both while I'm playing other piano synth module
sounds and especially on playback of fast passages to the DK.


I'm considering returning this if I find this problem to be unfixable.
Any ideas??



Thanks,
Gregg
