Re: New PDA software ("ittyMIDI") to control the DKV

2003-08-27 by Brown, Meta

This sounds wonderful, but I would really be thrilled to control the 
Disklavier wirelessly from the computer I have.  One manufacturer who 
made such a thing has disappeared, another made some announcements 
but it seems that the product never materialized.  Has anyone seen 
anything currently available that could be used to wirelessly control 
the Disklavier from a computer?
