Disklavier

Unlike other Disklavier models, the "Pro" has the ability of 
recording with much finer resolution when it records in XP mode.  
Instead of basic pedal ON/OFF (for compatibility with older DKVs), 
or the continuous ("Half Pedal") pedal data with 128 increments, the 
Pro uses a scale of 0-1023. In order to store the extra bits of data 
in a MIDI file, XP mode makes use of normally undefined MIDI 
controllers.  These are the control numbers you're seeing in the 
MIDI data for the e-Comp PRO files.

If you reread PianoBench's post (#3721) about the Piano e-
Competition files you'll find a brief explanation about the various 
ZIP file types and how they're optimized for use with the various 
generations of DKVs (older DKV's with ON/OFF pedal + E-SEQ format, 
newer DKV's with continuous pedal + Type 0 SMF format, and Pro 
models).  With reference to the Pro, PianoBench writes, "...the 
files include 1023 increments of note-on (hammer) velocity, 1023 
increments of key velocity, 1023 increments of note-of (key) 
velocity, and 128 increments of soft pedal and sustain pedal."

I'm presently away from home and don't have access to additional 
info on the specific MIDI control numbers (CC #s) used by the Pro to 
extend the default MIDI resolution.  However, CC#16 and CC#81 sound 
about right.

PianoBench will be able to offer a better explanation.

Robert
