Greetings George, typing left handed, forgive lower case please. it was a real surprise to me that the dkv would not play quick soft notes. i would think that the mechanism and electronics should do whatever is necessary to play any note sent to it, with the possible exception of very quick brushed notes. the pianodisc brings all note durations and velocities up to a minimum so they will play. this is annoying at times as all brushed notes play audibly. i had to write a program to remove them automatically. the delay is turned on. without it it is much worse. the piano has been regulated several times by a dealer tech. maybe there is a shortage of dealer techs who know what they are doing. it is interesting to hear of another piano with the same problem.

Very quick notes require higher velocity. We found that giving a minimum of 47 cures the dropped note problem in Ampico files. We made a "preset" that seems to work well although a program that adjusts velocity only for short notes might allow more subtlety in the lower ranges. I'll write it if there is enough interest. Here is a preset string for Midimod2 I would like to know if this is only a problem with upright DKVs or if grands have the problem too. I can send a sample file to anyone who wants to try it.
