Re[3]: [disklavier] Re: Volume Control of Midi during playback

2006-01-27 by Spencer_Lists

Greetings Adrian,

I have found the converter to be very useful for my intended use. The
preset curves may be all that I need but I did make a few custom ones
myself. My interest was in being able to quickly make a change while
playing a program to adapt the overall playing loudness to the need at
the moment. Adding the sysex to the beginning of a file offers no
advantage over converting the velocities in the file with my converter
program.

I also downloaded the MidiPipe program for the Mac (I have both Mac
and Windowz computers) but it does not seems to work with an external
MIDI device in System X. There is virtually no documentation that I
can find regarding this or much of anything else about the program. If
anyone knows how to use external MIDI devices with the with MidiPipe
and System X, that might be the best solution but I think it is just
not supported.
