Re: Is This Normal?

Hi Scott,

Here is the instruction:  http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/disklavier/message/7259

Mine's a DKC-60RCD controller.  The -9 setting in mine is not soft at all.  It's more like -4 in relation to my -10 which is very soft.  Curious what controller you have.  Good luck.

I'm at awe I can't believe how soft the volume is at -10 and still not dropping a note.  I can't even play manually that soft haha!  In fact, I have to raise the lid to increase the volume a little bit more.
