I meant to say in the last post A Reply.... that Yamaha designed their
PianoSoft (not PianoSmart) software before there were standard MIDI
conventions.

Greetings,

Does anyone have information as to how the DKV responds to multi
instrument midi files? I would like to add an option to my velocity
setting program that allow for adjusting velocity on just the piano
parts.

Does the DKV use patch changes to determine what to play on the piano
or does it expect the piano part to be on a particular track or
channel or both?

There may be different ways that files are made by various people so I
want to make sure that whatever works on the DKV is treated properly.

I hope to not have to have the user make a bunch of different choices
depending on the specifics of the source midi so hopefully there are
some conventions that are generally followed.

My hope is that the standard is one channel per track for notes for
each instrument(voice), proceeded with a patch change to assign that
instrument.
