Re: DKC-850 Maintenance Mode

2011-05-10 by sjhart110110

There are maintenance modes on the DKC-850. However on my piano it messes up the settings making the piano play really soft and not usable. I have to hook up my old controller to fix and haven't ran the routines again. Might try again when they upgrade the firmware to see if it has been improved.

Because I wanted the maintenance and calibration features and the better volume control plus the ability to play XP (pro song files), I ended up using both the original MarkII XG Pro controller box as master and the DKC-850 box as slave.  This gives me much better control over the instrument. The only thing I loose is D-Radio, but it's an easy cable swap and one "setup selection" on the 850 and I'm back in business for internet radio (if I want it, and frankly I'm not that impressed with it yet).  Also, I believe the Disklavier Tech Rep told me that there wasn't any self-test/maintenance modes for the 850 like there are with the prior controller units that came with our Disklavier.  Any confirmation on that Bill?

I ask this question because if it is there, then I can simply adjust the key calibration while the DKC-850 is attached (no need to switch boxes).  I've done this with success on my original box which allowed the piano to respond better.
