Disklavier

Yep, I couldn't find much at all.  (And it still works with DKVBrowser if anyone cares).

The shortcuts that Mark found were the only thing I could find.  If anyone is interested, the only way I found to "invoke" the shortcuts was to assign that one hot button on the PRC remote's charging base to a shortcut.  Without documentation, it's hard to know if you can also invoke them via the keyboard or something while in standby.

There was a lot of talk about a new "open" API.  I can detect none of that.  Maybe there's more to it that we can't see.

Great spot, Phil.

I downloaded the firmware via the PRC menu - Network update. Took about 5 mins to download with a 8Mb broadband connection.

It then asks you if you want to reboot now or later. I selected Reboot now.

After this, the PRC would not reconnect. So I had to manually push the power button on the piano to take it out of standby.

When the PRC reconnected, it said that I should update the PRC Interface from v3.0 to v4.0 - it did not do this automatically.

To do this I had to go into the main PRC-100 menu (using the icon in the bottom left of the screen) and select 'Interface Updater'

After a brief message saying it is 'Searching for update file...' there were the following 3 updates possible:

Application      Current Version     Next Version
Interface        3.0.0               4.0.0
PRC-100 Menu     1.1.0               1.1.1
Service Center   1.1.0               1.1.1

I selected all of them, and then pressed 'Install'

A message saying 'Downloading. ..' appeared on the PRC for about 30 seconds and then 'Updating... ' for about 1-2 minutes.

A message then appeared saying 'Interface program updated successfully' - tapped OK

Exiting the Interface updater automatically caused the PRC 100 to reboot - another couple of minutes.

And now for the drum-roll... hardly anything has changed. It could be my imagination, but the PRC seems a little more responsive between screen changes. The tone on touching the screen sounds a little nicer. No new main menu options. I think there is an addition Network screen under Settings and a screen for Shortcuts which I don't vividly recall.

Sorry to disappoint. I can only posit that the v4.0.0 enhancements are very subtle, or not yet implemented.

Hope that someone else can prove me wrong.

Mark
