Re: [disklavier] Disklavier volume

2010-03-27 by Phil Blah

I just used the term 'velocity' to explain how how it works without getting into detail that will only confuse people. But yeup the volume on the MK4 is a clever mix of methods to simulate a 'volume' control.

However I never put the volume much more than 100 as some songs really 'bash' the crap out of the keys, but then again, some songs need a boost!

Cheers,

Philip

Good morning, everyone.

Just to be clear, the volume number on the M4 is not a MIDI velocity number. It is an overall setting. The normal setting is 100.

The volume design of the M4 is a little different than it is for other models of Disklavier. With a M4, you can actually push the volume to a higher-than- normal setting.

With other models, the volume range is -10 to 0 with 0 being normal.
