Re: PPG10 vs MX100A

2007-11-08 by Carol Beigel

It sounds like you have a playback only Wagon Grand made for Japan. I truly doubt that any other control box of a different model can be installed - even if you could find one. That is a very early model. The computer processing chip installed on the control board is pre-programmed and not updatable. This was made before flash memory. The front end, known as a control box, is merely an I/O part on this model.
I think we have a problem with some recent posts. The MX100A is a disklavier upright with a built-in control box in the lid. It is not a stand-alone control box. You cannot put different model control boxes into a disklavier.
Normally, you can upgrade the hardware by installing a DSR1 control box that costs $1295 here in the U.S. It still connects to the old control box through MIDI cables. However, I do not believe that particular option is available for your piano.

I have a wagon grand with a piano player control wagon PPG10, (the
japanese version of the DKW10) dated 1991, with NO recording
capabilities.
Perhaps I'm asking a foolish thing , but do you think the MX100A
could be installed into the wagon instead of the PPG10?
Thank you
Fabio Ferrucci
