Disklavier

I think this reflects cakewalk's representation more than it represents yamaha's cleverness.

Yamaha supports different "degrees" of the pedal being down.  Cakewalk likes to represent it with a single arrow.

Anyway...back to my question...I was pretty sure that Spencer would have a utility like this.  Anyone?

Thanks again.

Hey Kevin,

It's funny as I noticed MIDI files recorded with the MK4 have the pedal very strange. Using Cakewalk on a normal midi file the pedal symbol is there when depressed once or so in a bar... but with a MK4 MIDI file within cakewalk there are like 50 of these symbols all mashed together in one bar if the pedal is used.

So I think they do it in a rather clumsy way to get a gradual effect for each pedal data in the MIDI file... perhaps it's actually clever!

But anyway, its true with some songs they just have the pedal data on or off and it can be a bit too dramatic.. I guess that does not answer you question lol.

Cheers,
Philip

I'm pretty sure that I've seen mention of a tool that will convert MIDI files from on/off pedaling to gradual (or continuous).  Of course, it won't magically insert more pedaling expression, but it could make the transitions a little smoother.  I'm imagining something that would convert a pedal on from an instantaneous transition from 0 to 127 into a very fast transition from 0 to, say, 110 and then a slowing transition as it approaches 127.  Also, I'd like the ability to convert the minimum pedal value from 0 to something like 10 or so.

What I'm trying to avoid is the "thumping" that some songs have when the solenoid is forced to go swinging back and forth between 0 and 127 so rapidly.  Does something like this exist?

Thanks.

-Kevin
