Disklavier

Dave:  You are getting loopback.  The quickest way to stop it is to disconnect
the MIDI-in cable at the DKV, while you are recording to the sequencer, and use
only the MIDI-out connection at the DKV.  Your sequencer has an option somewhere
to turn off its loopback.  The sequencer's default, when you launch it, is
probably "Loopback On".  

I got so tired of that happening, I built a switchbox that the two MIDI cables
pass through so that I can break the data line in either direction.
