Disklavier

Hi Kevin, I'd be happy to beta-test for you as I have a DKC-850 hooked up to a DC5-Pro.  The wireless system works great and I can get your current build to get to the controller, but no further.  

One rep at Yamaha's support team in LA told me that they expect to have a firmware update ready to release for the 850 this Spring/Summer so maybe they'll free up some information or make some changes that will allow better access??  

Thanks for keeping going on this!!
