Disklavier

Good afternoon, everyone.

If you record your piano playing on a DU1A, it should play back with  
a high degree of accuracy from its floppy drive or from internal  
memory. If you play with very wide ranging dynamics, you may find  
that the quietest notes play back a bit louder and that the loudest  
notes play back a bit software.

If you play the MIDI performance back from a computer, but sure that  
the Disklavier's MIDI In setting is set to the 500 ms delay. If it is  
not, the Disklavier will not play back accurately. If the delay is  
on, the playback should sound about the same as it did during the  
original performance.

Certain models of Disklavier record Key Aftertouch data. If the  
Disklavier is not a Pro, that data is used to control the decay of  
the digital piano sound in silent mode. It has no effect on normal  
acoustic playback. On a Pro, Key Aftertouch messages are also used as  
part of a sophisticated scheme for recording with a higher resolution  
than normal MIDI data permits.

Many people edit MIDI data on a computer before playing it back on a  
Disklavier in order to get the Disklavier to sound appropriate. If  
the recording was made on a Disklavier, this sort of editing is not  
necessary.
