Disklavier

Joan,

Nice job...And thanks a million for posting those screen shots for people like me who don't have an iPhone/iTouch.

From looking at it, it seems that it is almost *certainly* using the old wire protocol, so I wonder what this new "open API" that they talked about is.  Does it feel any faster than the PRC?  I noticed that there is no way to edit song names or album names?  I was really hoping that they had fixed the inability to do just about anything while a song is playing.

I suspect that this application will continue to improve as it will likely, ultimately, replace the very outdated PRC-100 completely.  Once they finish the software they can start including an iTouch with each piano...they'd probably cost them less than they currently pay for the Sharp Zaraus.

As far as recording remotely...there is no reason to have a floppy in the drive.  It will start recording to the hard-drive.  I do this all the time...and as far as doing it secretly, the red recording light on the Disklavier comes on... so not so secretive after-all. ;-)

If these shortcuts become interesting or useful to anyone, please let me know...They'd be fairly simple to add to DKVBrowser.  I've already had a look at the schema and it's pretty straightforward.

-Kevin
