Re: [disklavier] Re: Audio recording with key's noise

2006-05-14 by George F. Litterst

Good morning, everyone.

It sounds to me as though franpeyr's problem is not the MIDI data but  
the noise in the playback system of his DU1A. This cannot be fixed by  
changing the MIDI data.

I recommend a visit from a qualified Disklavier technician.

Regards,
PianoBench
