Hi, and yes, the type of display and repair you describe is absolutely correct. I have also made this repair to my own Fluke 8060A!! However, the display in

Greetings n9544c, I am not familiar with the construction of the Yamaha display but I have fixed several LCD displays. I assume that this is an LCD display

Yes, I have the old non functional display. It is very difficult to test the display without the supporting circuitry of the controller. Try this, at night,

Do you mean that someone with the appropriate bench equipment couldn t test the inputs of the display for function?

Okay... To wrap this up: I think the best thing for me to do is to use GNMIDI and edit/set BOTH volume and velocity to 80 (or something less than 100). Thanks

Does this loud controller 7 value characteristic apply to MIDI files that have been recorded on a Disklavier as well if unaltered by anyone? Thanks, John
2007-01-18 by Adrian Thomas
You ll find that due to the cost and space requirements, nobody (even most Yamaha susidiaries themselves) keeps test beds for Disklaviers. This means that it

My Mark II responds to volume with the dampening pedal (far left). Is this going to have a different effect than velocity message? I m afraid this is a whole

Good afternoon, everyone. If memory serves me correctly, the Mark II does not respond to volume control (controller 7) messages. It does, of course, respond to

I haven t used this tool, but I suspect you want to reduce the velocities, as this is the individual note loudness. I would expect the volume control to insert

Good morning, everyone. Terry, it sounds like you have two problems: (1) the DCD1 is misbehaving and (2) the piano is playing early. It is possible that the

From what you say, I would expect it is a problem with a data buffer somewhere in the digital chain - either in your stereo system DAC or in the digital output
2007-01-08 by Adrian Thomas
Hi, the symptoms you descibe (Analog out OK, digital out delayed) would indicate that you have introduced some latency with the digital out. This is basically
