Re: [disklavier] Volume Blast on "Quiet" Setting--What gives?

2008-06-29 by Kevin Goroway

I just downloaded it and tried it.  I had no problems.  I've also never heard of this problem.  (By the way, that MIDI file really BANGS hard on the keys...if you intend on keeping them, and playing them, you should probably adjust the velocity.)

I did encounter the "Unknown Copy Error No.1." when I tried to copy all of the MIDIs from that site onto my piano though.  I've never heard a good explanation of what that means and the MIDI that can't be copied works perfectly when played from the From/To PC folder...

Another "Newbie" Question:  I downloaded some MIDI files today, which were playing fine on 
the DKV's "acoustic" setting.  When I activated the "Quiet" setting via the Pocket Controller, 
however, I suddenly was hit with a very loud sound blast from the DKV's speakers.   I 
switched back right away, because it was so loud I'm sure I could have damaged the system. 
Any ideas on how I can suppress this?   The Operating Manual does not appear to say 
anything on point.

Our system is the Mark IV, DGC1M4.    The MIDI files, by the way, came from the following 
website: http://www.wtv- zone.com/ gnubee/all_ piano_midis. "Carolina in the Morning" is 
one of the songs that reacted this way when I switched to the "Quiet" mode.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Mike
