Disklavier

Wow Spencer,

For someone who is so helpful that was a little harsh.   Obviously he doesn't read the posts.  So I guess he may not read your response either....

I have to completly shut it down every few days (or less!) as the stupid pedals just stay on at random, even when a song is completly stopped. It also tends once a month to just randomally jump to the synth instead of the real piano (like quiet mode) if while the song is playing I just toggle the channel number from # to 1 and back it then plays the piano for 30 seconds or a minute or even till the song ends then the next song the synth is jammed on again.

Also as part of good form, have a way of clearing/flushing the memory when a song starts (like the panic button in cakwalk) it would take 1 second and be worth it. (perhaps have this an optional toggle in the setup).

>> I would suggest that you completely shut down your Mark IV.  Wait 30 seconds and then restart your Mark IV and wait until it is fully booted up.  I find that periodically my Mark IV will simply stop playing back completely (although the cursor moves on The PRC-100 wireless remote) and that when songs are recorded they are recorded with bad tempo, etc.  A re-boot as described above has always solved the problem. If a re-boot                                                 does not solve your Mark IV problem, then I would suggest a call to Yamaha Service is in order. And no this is not a normal adjustment thing.

>> Hi group, a newbie here. We bought a MArk IV about 2 years ago and love it, but lately it sounds as if the sync of the music is off. When a song is being played, the tempo seems odd and seems to jump around. Or what I mean is it doesnt really sound like someone is playing the piano- sounds disjointed. I am unsure of how often these things need servicing etc. IS this a normal adjustment thing or am I hearing things?-lol
