Disklavier

Greetings whatsay2that,

If your DKV will respond to MIDI volume messages then the problem is
much simpler. If it will not then it is not an easy job. You need to
either write a MIDI file player with dynamic velocity control or write
an application that will reroute the MIDI messages and modify them on
the fly. Either is a major programming effort, not something I would
bother with unless there were a considerable market for it which there
is not.

I have a similar problem with my older PianoDisc which will not
respond to MIDI volume messages so I have to preprocess all of the
files.
