Re: [disklavier] Velocity or Volume?...I must stop the pounding! GNMIDI

2007-01-16 by James Fry

I haven't used this tool, but I suspect you want to reduce the 
velocities, as this is the individual note loudness. I would expect the 
volume control to insert controller 7 messages, which I think will have 
the same effect as adjusting the volume control on the piano control 
unit (on my MPX1Z Mark II this puts the "soft" pedal down)

Give it a try and see what happens I guess!
