Disklavier

Hello,
I have a question regarding this software, when I open it the first 
time it said that I did not have full access, but a restricted one.  
How can Iget full access, is there a fuller acces that just the one I 
have right now ?

The one I have right now permits me to lower or increase the level of 
velocity of the key being played.  Is there more to it then this ?
I am also trying to unserstand the best corresponding level.

Let say if I have a midi part that initialy had a register value of 
(min=30 max level 127)  I have read that Yamaha as it maximize at 96 
so as not to overstress or overheat the solenoid.  Any way it is 
normally always to loud for a normal house, so I keep my ocntrol at -
10db on my master Mark III controller, but I have been reducing the 
level with the Vlocity programm to a max level of 96, should I reduce 
the level also to min=1 and max= 96 on my exemple where I get a song 
registring 30 to 27 or should i leave the lower level to 30 as stated 
and just lower the max level from 127 to 96.
How can I read the graph to interpret the level from 1 ot 127.  I 
have read post about this but what seem to be a concensius.

Jimmy

Thank for any reply.
I love my mark III, but sure as a lot of function.

I find it rather strange that the author of Veloset puts this in his Notes 
Window:

: {GNMIDI}Generated by illegal use of GNMIDI 2.0 demo after 11 days (only 5 
days free testing 

But can't supply info on how to get or pay for the program.  Talk about one 
shooting oneself in the foot.

Don,

The MIDI specification does call for a maximum MIDI cable length of 50 feet.

What is the reason for specifying maximum cable length? Well, if you are 
a manufacturer of MIDI equipment, your device had better be sensitive 
enough to operate with up to 50 feet of MIDI cable or you are not 
meeting the spec.  A conservatively designed device will still operate 
satisfactorily beyond the 50-foot cable limit--although it is not 
guaranteed to.

MIDI uses current loop signalling--nominally 5 milliamperes.  Loop 
current does decrease with the greater resistance of a longer loop. 
Also the rise and fall times of the data pulses--nominally less than 2 
microseconds--will increase as the cable length increases. These 
considerations set the minimum performance required of the optoisolator 
receive circuit of the DKV.  If MIDI were an analog system, performance 
might gradually degrade as the signal degrades.  Being digital, however, 
there is a sharp division between working and not working with no 
gradual degradation in between.

If your DKV, with its 90-foot cable, is operating to your satisfaction, 
my advice is: Save your money and don't worry about it.

Corrections:  The MIDI spec actually states 15 meters (= 49.2 feet) max 
cable length.  I should have said "your DKV, with its 70-foot cable".

I'm not sure what is going on here, but the following are my thoughts.  
Veloset is a program that allows one to edit the velocity of a MIDI file.  
It was a wonderful gift to us all from its author who insisted on remaining 
anonymous.  GNMIDI is a wonderful software program by Gunter Naugler in 
Austria who is absolutely fanatic about people who use his software paying 
him his $30.   GNMIDI will do many, many things - including putting these 
little notes on MIDI files that were made with his software if you have not 
sent him his money!  He even has secret copyright information embedded in 
this program that will display such as listed below.  I believe that the 
author of Veloset has absolutely nothing to do with the message you see on 
the notes - it is just that you obtained this "tainted" midi file from 
someone who had not paid for his copy of gnmidi.

To get full access, go to www.gnmidi.com and follow the instructions to pay 
for the program.  If you can afford a Disklavier, you can certainly afford 
the $30 to pay for this software.

If you are using the gnmidi program, pay for it first!  Then you have full 
access.  The website is www.gnmidi.com  This is probably the best $30 you 
will ever spend on your Disklavier.  I use it when I have downloaded a MIDI 
file from the internet with no piano parts.  All you do is select from the 
Modify menu "prepare program for PianoDisc" and all the parts play on the 
piano.  It also creates a MIDI format 0 file in the process for all of you 
whose DKVs only play MIDI 0 files.

You can use the free Veloset program on this website and just use the 
sliders.  Remember to copy the file first so you don't mess up the only copy 
you have.  I think the best numbers for velocity on the DKV are between 20 
and 60.

Does anyone know if this program runs on XP? The website says that they

All the Windows programs will work in XP - like Veloset, EseqtoMid and 
gnmidi.  It is only dkcopy that needs real DOS, not virtual DOS, and will 
not work in XP or NT Windows modes.  Much to my amazement, the old Ana Disk 
program works in a DOS window in XP.  Even using the Giebler utilities, XP 
will not format a 720k floppy disk - and that is a problem.

You can get laptops for next to nothing these days that run Windows 3.1, or 
Windows 95 or 98.  I keep a couple around just for the Disklavier utilities.

What is ana disk???

Hello Carol
Thanks again for all your information.

I have not worried at all about diskettes since you told me about 
vanBasco's jukebox. I drive my MX80 with an xp PC. It works great except 
for one song (William Tell Overture duet). I believe that this problem is 
due to the fact that my cable is about 70 feet long.
Best regards,
Don Shifris

Good morning, everyone, and greetings from the World Piano Conference in Slovenia.

I believe that the maximum recommended lenghth of a MIDI cable is 45 feet. You can even connect shorter MIDI cables together with barrel connectors in order to get up to 45 feet.

Beyond 45 feet, it is advisable to have the electrical signal refreshed. There are MIDI mergers and splitters that have their own power supply that can do this.

Ana Disk is one of those shareware programs that have been floating around 
for years that seems to be able to copy just about anything.  It is useful 
for backing up the PianoSoft disks you buy.  It will make an exact 
duplicate.  However, it does not make a disk that your computer can read 
like the dkcopy utility.  If you would like a copy, please email me 
privately.

I have tried to purchase such a device and have not been able to find one. 
Can you direct me to a vendor ? I have been calling it a line driver. The 
local guitar stores don't have anything.

Thanks,   Don

Good morning, everyone.

Sorry, Don, to be slow to respond to your message. I have been out of the 
country attending the World Piano Conference (where I did a couple of 
presentations using the Disklavier).

I suggest that you call Sweetwater Sound: (800) 222-4700. My salesperson is 
Kenny Bergle (x1270). He is excellent and can direct you on this matter 
regarding what is currently available.

Generally speaking, the MIDI signal is refreshed when it goes through another 
powered MIDI device (such as a keyboard or MIDI interface) and is passed on 
to another. I have an old Yamaha YME8, which is a MIDI junction box/router with 
multiple Ins and Outs. It has its own power supply and can be used to couple 
long MIDI cables. Unfortunately, it is not made any more, but you may be able 
to find a used one.

Regards,
PianoBench

Phil Rees makes such units as well as MIDI line drivers, merge boxes, etc.
He's based in the UK, but they say on the website they will discuss
international delivery.
