Re: [disklavier] Digest Number 3500

Hi Paul, If the pedal system is intermittently sending Midi, it needs to be checked by yamaha. Regarding regulation after removing the silent system, it's possible but if you change the parameters, then the overall after- touch of the piano will change. Change of after - touch of a piano is a subjective thing. So some will like it and some won't. There should not be any difference in the touch and feel as far as applying effort to play the disklavier is concerned when compared to a normal acoustic grandpiano. The action is same. I suggest that you get the piano serviced by a yamaha technician and sort out the concerns. All the best Aswath Prabhu.

Hi Thanks PianoBench dude!.
Yes I use MIDI everyday in the studio so know a lot about how that side of things works. I also monitored the MIDI on the way into the computer and it was giving me the same intermittent signals and never going above velocity 60. I'm aware the sustain should give out a variable reading between 1 and 127. I think if it was consistently giving out a low reading it would feel like a calibration thing but sometimes when the pedal was pushed no MIDI signal was generated.
I assume the internal recorder reads the same pedal signals (which works fine) just wondering if whatever chip outputs the midi has some corrosion or something? maybe theres an internal battery leaked? but then why just the sustain CC 64 channel.
have you come across people commenting that playing softly is an issue on the disklavier in general? where you need more weight to make the notes sound due to the regulation having more distance between the strings and the hammers?.. I'm trying to get a feel whether the piano will be fine with a good setup and recalibration.
In a studio situation where very good players are coming in all the time it needs to play just like any other C3. My concern is the Silent system is compromising the action, would removing or disabling the system allow for a more responsive action? apparently regular C3s are regulated 2 or 3mm closer to the strings.?? anyone had any experience on this?
Some one advised I got an Avant grand(digital only piano).. I already have one!. Its cool.. but I do need a real live piano in the studio.. I want to be able to record via MIDI.. edit the parts .. then playback and record the real thing in the room. so ideally I need a C3 with no compromise to its feel.
Thanks for all your help! anyone know a good disklavier tech in London/Kent UK
