Normally there are two switches to consider when using a cable - the Core MIDI and the MIDI interface itself; now there is that DIN 5 port when using a wireless network. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

>>> Alright, so my grandchildren are here for a week, and grandma is high on their gummy worms and the other candy that came with them. However, I did remember the basic rituals to get these electronics to work. Number one, is to reboot, reboot and reboot again. The PUC has 2 batteries, but they need to be removed to reset the unit. Also, when things don’t work, like your iPad does not see the PUC, then you need to reboot the iPad as well.

>>> I wanted the PUC because I have been too cheap to buy a DKC-850. I had one here for a week to play with but just couldn’t justify the expense just for Disklavier radio. I don’t think this wireless MIDI gives an old MarkIIXG an IP address so I don’t have great hopes for MIDI radio. However the PUC also works on Mac OS with a different driver. Later today I will try to play a MIDI file directly from the internet thru the PUC and see if that works.

>>>>> Greetings group! I am hoping someone can explain my most recent, miserable failure. I have a MarkIIXG disklavier that always works! I can use either my iPhone6 or iPad2 to play it, and any other Disklavier so far, by using the Yamaha I-MX1 MIDI interface connected to the MIDI In on the Disklavier. I use Sweet MIDI Player with the settings Core MIDI out and the selected interface. MIDI in is the session network. Always works.

The PUC is connected via MIDI cable to the same MIDI in port on the Disklavier. The PUC is flashing red indicating that MIDI data is being transmitted. But the piano is not playing!!!!! Grrrrr………

However, the PUC is flashing red so it should be working. Is there a difference between MIDI data that flows through a MIDI cable and that which comes thru the air? Does the receiver make a difference? Could it be that the MarkIIXG just cannot read wireless MIDI data? Ahhhgggg!
