Disklavier

dear Robert
I check out your scans on my Yamaha Disklavier later,
but for a test i looked at PENNY LANE played by JL Cook:
dd you set the volume control to 128?
or the velocity?

in this fore one told me to be careful with the velocity limit:
you should not come above 110

perhaps you can check out this point for us.

thanks for your contribution!
Lonnie
