A have an old disklavier that plays only 720k floppy.I attached a laptop and it works fine. My problem is that I cannot adjust the volume while the piano is playing. Im using Vanbasco and Cakewalk. I guess this is the disadvantage using a laptop rather than playing it with the regular diskette w/c can be adjusted as I please. Thanks for any help. Allan

Since you are using Vanbasco, I assume you are using standard MIDI files. Perhaps the volume (controller 7) is set too high in the MIDI data. Try running the Veloset program on some of those MIDI files and turning the volume down to 60. You could also try the new Yamplayer which plays Yamaha ESEQ files from a play list.

You did not mention which model DKV you own. When I send a song into the MIDI port of my Mark I, the DKV's volume control knob does affect the DKV's loudness while it is playing. You might check to be sure that the "Volume" button is engaged when you twist the knob. allanz_2000 wrote: > A have an old disklavier that plays only 720k floppy.I attached a > laptop and it works fine.

Robert,
I have a Yamaha Piano Player Control Wagon PPG10R from Japan. My volume control can adjust from (-2) to (+10) but does not respond when I play the piano from a laptop. Thanks for� any help.

Evidently, then, the Volume control on the Wagon model does not control MIDI loudness as it does on the Mark II and later models. You might wish to confirm that with someone like Bill Brandom: BBrandom@... Two work-arounds that occur to me are hardly elegant: 1) While the MIDI file is open in Cakewalk, successively scale by some percentage (or reduce by some constant) the velocities of the piano track. You could start by scaling to 90% and keep applying that percentage until the sound output drops sufficiently for you. Velocity scaling is a feature of Pro Audio 9, but may not be a feature of lighter versions. PG Music's Power Tracks also will allow you to scale and play MIDI files. (There may exist other applications or hardware devices that would scale MIDI velocities on the fly, but I'm not aware of them.) 2. Use Giebler Utilities to convert your MIDIs to E-SEQ and write them to PianoSoft-like 720K diskettes. Allan Zalamea wrote: > Robert, > > I have a Yamaha Piano Player Control Wagon PPG10R from Japan.
