Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

Fabio, does your Disklavier have a record feature? If not, then MIDI Out = Keyboard Out is probably not an option.

If it does have a record feature and is a typical wagon grand, then all that should be necessary is to :

--press the MIDI button to show the MIDI Out setting

--press the R button to set MIDI Out = Keyboard Out

--or press the L button to set MIDI Out = Delay Out

--press the MIDI button to exit

You might cycle through all of the MIDI settings until you get to "MIDI Parameter All Initialize?" and then press the R button twice to reinitialize all of the MIDI settings. That will set MIDI OUt to Delay (which is the default), and then you can try again to change it.

If your instrument does have a record feature and everything so far fails, try accessing this MIDI Out setting screen again and see if any other buttons will change the display. On the upright MX100A& B, the Record button is used to toggle between the MIDI Out settings.

Yes, it's the wagon grand, but when I press the MIDI button and then reach the Midi Out parameter, L and R buttons have no effect and the only avaliable option is Midi Out = Delay out. In all other parameters setting L and R buttons work properly, so I can set, for istance, Remote out On or Off, Delay from 0 to 700 ms, and so on with L and R buttons.

So I thought I had to set something else BEFORE trying to change the Midi Out parameter, but I don't know what.

Thank you!

Good afternoon, everyone.

It sounds as though you have a so-called "wagon grand" but one that was not made for North America.

I don't know if this procedure will work.

Try pressing the MIDI button and see if you can use the R and L buttons to toggle between MIDI Out = Delay Out and MIDI Out = KBD Out.

Additionally, once you get to the MIDI Out screen, I think that you can advance through other MIDI screens with the + and - buttons.

Hi! I recently bought a Yamaha G5 grand piano with a separate disklavier control wagon
ppg10, a machine about 16 years old. I cannot set up the disklavier to transmit what I play on
the piano keyboard from the MIDI OUT port. The files on the floppy are currently transmitted
via MIDI OUT. I have no manuals of this machine, so I tried to change the Midi parameters in
the control wagon, but there is no way to set the MIDI OUT parameter other than DELAYOUT.
I looked at the cable that connects the piano with the wagon (a multipolar cable with a Mil
connector at each side) and with a digital tester I noticed that pin 1 at one side of the cable is
connected to pin 2 at the other side and viceversa; all the other pins instead are connected
each one to the corresponding number. Can someone help me? Thank you!
