I believe the default playback velocity on the DKV is 100. If you were to look at the MIDI file in a sequencer program like Logic, the data would be as it was recorded. Carol

Oh, BTW, you can get devices which allow you to modify the velocity curve for MIDI information (you'd have to run the file from an external source like a laptop or sequencer), but it would have an impact on the dynamics of the performance.

Mine is a new E3 and the dealer did not do anything to it with regard to calibration (other than tuning) before and after delivery. The unit has been in the house for a nearly a month. I wonder if I should run the calibration. In the User Manual, the only thing I could find was "Maintenance Mode" and under "Maintenance" are three options: 1. "Post Delivery Check", 2. "Program Versions", and 3. "Pedal Calibration." Can I get to Self-Calibration from "Post Delivery Check"? What is "Post Delivery Check" anyway? There are no specific instructions on "Self-Calibration" anywhere that I could find in the documents that came with the unit. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you Adrian for the instructions. Is the self-calibration feature available on the E3 as well? I was under the impression that the feature is available for the PRO version only? I will try to run through the calibration this weekend. Mine is the basic DGB1KE3.
If I just want to verify if the feature is available without going through the whole thing (saving it for the weekend), after doing step 1 below, do I hit [STOP] to exit?
① Turning on the power ([ON/OFF] button) while holding down the [RECORD] button and [SELECT] button simultaneously.

Curiously, Calibration-Full is missing from the service menu on my DGB1KE3 (DKC-800). I entered the service menu by simultaneously pressing [Record], [Select], and [On/Off] buttons, and scrolled down to Option 3 which is Piano Calibration. Under Option 3 are 3-1: Calibration - Std, 3-2: Pedal HP Adjust, 3-4: Key ppp Adjust, 3-5: Calibration - Extra.
Notice that 3-3: Calibration - Full is missing.
I went ahead and run Calibration - Std as it was the only option available. I am curious as to why 3-3 was removed or missing. The numbers jump from 3-2 to 3-4 on the list.
Any confirmation and/or explanation is appreciated. Thank you.
BTW, during the calibration process, I noticed that the dynamic range was very good. The piano could play very softly without missing notes to very loudly. The dynamic range was far wider what I could notice during regular playback of MIDI files, includes songs that I purchased from Yamaha.

As far as MIDI velocities are concerned, any Disklavier will modify the MIDI velocities at the extreme ends, i.e. minimum velocity will be around 30-40 and maximum velocity will be just above 100. (electronic keyboards will play any velocity from 0 to 127)
