Should you examine a PianoSoft Plus file with Veloset, the resulting
histogram combines the velocity distribution of all tracks--piano and
ensemble instruments. The highest velocity indicated is not necessarily
that of the piano, but may be of some other instrument. It would take
an extraordinary whack on a DKV key to produce a velocity of 118. To
see a histogram of only the piano velocities, open the file in Cakewalk,
save it under a new name, delete the non-piano tracks, save the file
again, and then open it in Veloset.
If you want to open the file in Veloset as Rob suggests but do not have another sequencer, such as Cakewalk, you can start with a COPY of the file in your Disklavier, use your instrument's Track Delete function (if it has one) to delete all tracks but the piano track, and resave the file for viewing in Veloset.
