Disklavier

Evidently, then, the Volume control on the Wagon model does not control 
MIDI loudness as it does on the Mark II and later models.  You might 
wish to confirm that with someone like Bill Brandom: BBrandom@...

Two work-arounds that occur to me are hardly elegant:

1)  While the MIDI file is open in Cakewalk, successively scale by some 
percentage (or reduce by some constant) the velocities of the piano 
track.  You could start by scaling to 90% and keep applying that 
percentage until the sound output drops sufficiently for you. Velocity 
scaling is a feature of Pro Audio 9, but may not be a feature of lighter 
versions.  PG Music's Power Tracks also will allow you to scale and play 
MIDI files.  (There may exist other applications or hardware devices 
that would scale MIDI velocities on the fly, but I'm not aware of them.)

2.  Use Giebler Utilities to convert your MIDIs to E-SEQ and write them 
to PianoSoft-like 720K diskettes.
