Hi all, I recently had a recording session that used a Disklavier. We needed to record the actual piano sounds as well as get the corresponding MIDI. For the most part, it worked well. Our resulting audio files are great, and the corresponding MIDI almost always matches perfectly. There were a few exceptions though. In a few of the files, the MIDI would cut out for almost exactly 30 seconds, then after that silence, it would return, still in sync with the audio. There are a few possible explanations for this. It's certainly possible that the MIDI interface going into the computer was faulty in some way (audio and MIDI both recorded into Reaper). Me feeling though is that it was probably something getting stuck on the Disklavier's end. The exact devices were Disklavier II, and the controller that spit out the MIDI was a DKC100R. Has anyone else had similar issues? Any suggestions for how to fix this? We're planning on going back to the same studio, with the same setup, in a few days, so we were hoping to have something new to try. I did try searching previous posts for "lost MIDI", but wasn't able to find anything pertinent. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!
