velocities on Pianodisc software

2003-12-18 by optimuminput

Hi all 
 Just took delivery of a gleaming new DU1A-PE with all the mark 
three disklavier gear on and it is gorgeous . On reading through the 
archives I noticed a question relating to velocities on midi files, 
suggested velocities were around the 65 mark as damage to the piano 
action could result . Shock horror I immediately check all my files 
and discover (using the natty veloset program on the DKV utilities 
disc ) that all my pianosoft discs have velocities up  to 118 is 
this ok or  is it just the midi files that  have the velocity at 
maximum through out the file that are the problem ? I  tried some 
rachmaninoff at the suggested lower velocity and thought it lost a 
lot from the performance . Great group, will keep you posted with my 
progress. Cheers     Tom
