Disklavier

Hi Emma -
Official word from Yamaha is that the velocity curve can't be modified.  I don't have a pro, but I wish more and more that I'd waited the extra couple of months for one.  The pro reportedly has full velocity range up to 127.

I ended up installing an app called MidiPipe that "hijacks" the incoming MIDI (which I send/receive via USB) and applies a different curve -- in this case, changing the velocity to 130% of what it receives.  This works fine for my purposes, which is to use the Disklavier to control the Vienna Symphonic Library.  (If I were recording the piano itself as MIDI, I'd turn off the MidiPipe software.)

I kind of can't believe that the non-Pro model maxes the output velocity at 100, when MIDI goes to 127, but that does seem to be the case, and Yamaha has basically confirmed as much.

Is there any way to adjust the velocity curve of the Disklavier's output?  (No matter how hard I press the key, I can't get velocity higher than the 90's.)  Is 100 the maximum velocity output of a non-PRO Disklavier?
