Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

Either the Mark II or the Mark IIXG was the first Disklavier to  
respond to MIDI Control 7 (volume) messages as far as the piano part  
is concerned.

The Disklavier's native Controller 7 setting is 100. In most cases, it  
is best to make sure that the piano tracks in your MIDI files have  
this setting. Unfortunately, many MIDI file authors boost the  
Controller 7 setting to a number above 100 (127 is the highest) in  
order to compensate for tone generators that have weak piano sounds or  
which are connected to weak speakers.

Regards,
PianoBench
