I am sorry I cannot be of any help. I do not play piano, and use the DU1A
only to listen to classical MIDI files. I have not tried to record with the
piano, either with the keyboard or a computer. I assume when you used the term
"slacking" you mean that you are reducing the velocity at which the keys are
pressed.
;
For whatever it might be worth, I do know this about playing MIDI files
that have been scanned from piano rolls. Those with key velocities less
than about 35 will hardly play. Hammers barely strike the strings, if at
all. To get such pieces to play properly and sound correct, the velocity at the
low end must be around 45-50. At the other end of the velocity scale, anything
higher than 90-95 just beats the strings to pieces and the sound is terrible.
Most pieces play well with setings in the 45-80 range. This is not a hard
and fast rule, but applies generally. I don't profess to understand why this is
the case, but Carol can probably explain it. I wish I could be of help. All I
know is that my control unit behaves as yours does when it comes to not
displaying the touch parameter that is described in the DK manual.

me like maybe your key sensors and pedal sensors need a
fine calibration. Has a Disklavier technician serviced
your piano? BTW, I never heard of a Key Touch
parameter to record a limited amount of MIDI data on a
MarkIII Disklavier. Not that I ever looked for it, but
perhaps someone more versed in these things knows about
this. Perhaps someone like Pianobench?
