Maybe. This was not done in front of me, but perhaps was it done in the salesman's 
workshop.
I will know about it on monday, I hope...

The fact is that the DK Operation Manual (heading "disklavier mark lll series Full-Function 
Models") mentions 2 things : the way to turn on/off this parameter, and, in the midicharts, 
the fact that DK can generate and receive note-off-velocities.

According to Ron Natalie, this parameter is related to my problem.

One hour ago, I have edited a midifile generated by the DK. I played few notes, being very 
carefull to slack them slowly, wrote the song with the floppy unit, then transferred it on 
my computer. Every note's velocity-note-off is set to 64. EVERY ! Tadaaaaaa !!!

It seems that the DK DU1A don't use this parameter at all.

So, is DU1A a Non-Full-Function model ?
If it is, well, the advertising is lying ! It's NOT a Mark lll model !

Perhaps you have never looked for it because the DKs you use can deal with that 
parameter...
Don't you think that it is strange, this dissapearance ? Strange, or worrying...

Why those things happen to me, and why NOW ? Pffffffff.... :°(
