Disklavier

Greetings Joseph,

I just found a little MIDI file player that I wrote a while ago that lists the events as they play. It only shows a single line 
so you have to read fast but you can see when the pedal codes occur. I can make the text display better showing changes only when the
pedal goes on and off if this would help. 

A better way to do this (but requires more in the way of computer skills) is to get MidiOX which is either free or very cheap. You 
can monitor all MIDI activity and the display scrolls nicely. The program has all sorts of other features that make it very useful.
I use it to make sonar work with win 7 and the wavetable synth.

Hi George,
 
I did what Carol suggested and checked the pedal movement , all seems well there.
 
Attached is a Midi file that was converted from a FIL that I think should contain some pedal. 
 
Also googled some midi sequencing programs that show you what's happening. There were many but since I have many files to check I'd like to purchase one that you  recommend. I  only need one to read the instructions so I can determine what the file contains .
 
Thanks 
 
Joseph

Good afternoon, everyone. 

The MIDI message for the sustain pedal is controller 64. When it has a value of 0, the pedal is a rest. When it has a value of 127, it is fully depressed. If there is a value between 0 and 127, that value represents a partially depressed pedal.

If the file is a normal ".mid" file, the MIDI data can be checked in a sequencer. If the file is a ".fil" file, the file probably needs to be converted to a ".mid" file in order to be checked with a sequencer.

When checking for controller 64 data, one must be certain to look at data that applies to the piano part as opposed to an accompaniment part.

If you are able to email the file to me, I can tell you where the piano part has MIDI data.

Regards,
PianoBench

It probably needs just a little adjustment. I believe the MIDI message for 
the pedal is a Controller 7 message. IF you look inside the piano, while 
depressing the pedal, is there any lost motion? In other words, can you 
press the pedal down (any amount) before the damper felts start coming away 
from the strings? If so, have the technician come back and check the 
adjustment of the pedal.
