Disklavier

Greetings sstapels,

If there is no other solution, I might be able to create one. If the
DKV will respond to MIDI volume controller messages, it would be
pretty easy to write a program that you could run on the PC at the
same time that you are playing files and that would send the messages
as you adjust a volume control slider. You can test this by inserting
a volume control into a midi file and playing it to see if the volume
can be controlled this way. If this does work, I can make a program
that will act as a volume control. I just wrote a program that has
most of what is needed in it already. All that needs to be added is
the ability to choose from the various MIDI devices on the system. The
program is a virtual wind chime so all of the wind chime stuff needs
to be removed to leave just a volume control.

Let me know if your DKV does respond to the volume controllers.
Attached is a MIDI file that goes from volume 127 at the beginning to
0 at the end. If your piano does respond to the controllers, it should
gradually get softer and softer until it is barely audible at the end.
If the attachment does not work, contact me privately so I can send it
to you.
