Disklavier Mark III Settings

Disklavier Mark III Settings

2005-12-18 by Kim

Hi Everyone, I don't post that often, had something occur today that 
has occured before and have had to call and get Yamaha to come out in 
the past and fix only to find that it is an easy fix, unfortunately I 
never write down how the technician fixes it.  I was attempting to 
play a Yamaha diskette today and when it played the notes were all 
wrong.  When the technician fixed this before he found I was somehow 
on 'Upright' Piano.  And this simple fix from Upright to Grand seemed 
to remedy the situation.  But I can't seem to find how to get there, I 
can find the 'voices' and it is set on '1' which is Grand Piano, but 
that must not be it.  Does anyone know what setting I need to change 
to fix this without my calling Yamaha out again, or having to wait 
until tomorrow to call them?

This situation can happen when static electricity hits
your control box.  During the heating season, just
walking across the carpeting in the room and turning on
the DKV can cause this.  The following sequence will
reset your piano type.

Press the Power button while pressing the L and R
buttons to enter Test Mode.

Press Yes once to select CTRL SHEET

Press >> once.  You should see the following displayed
(or something like this).  The first line is the
version of the software and date you have in current
use, so it may not match exactly my example here.  The
second line is what is important.  The 55RCD is the
model of the control box; the ENG is the language which
can be changed by pressing L or R; REC means the DKV
has recording capabilities; GP is the piano type which
you change by pressing NO or YES buttons to change the
piano type; S means the piano has a Silent system
(which is toggled by the RECORD button); and the DB51
is the tone generator.

    V4.46 Apr 01 200X
    55RCD ENG REC GP S DB51

To change the piano type, press the YES or NO button to
match your piano type.  The options are as follows:

    UP                MX100II/IIXG, MX500/22/16
    GP                DGPII/IIXG, DGA1
    S4                 S4II/IIXG
    UPS              MPX100II/IIXG, MPX70
    GH1              Playback only
    GT                DGT2IIXG/DGT7
    GPS              DGPS/MarkIII (except for DGA1)
    GPS-X          DKVPro
    CFPRO        CFS-X

Sometimes, the solution is to do a RESET on your
Disklavier when all else fails.  To do this, press the
FUNCTION key on the control box, and press -> until the
cursor in next to the  Reset option.
Refer to the advance owner's manual, page 72 for
details if you don't want to also reset a memory disk.

Try keeping the relative humidity around your
Disklavier to around 42 to 50 percent.

Carol,

 

Thanks so much for this info!  Will try this out after dinner, I was so
disappointed that this occurred again (has happened 2 - 3 times) and always
thought it was something I did to mess with the settings.  

 

I really appreciate your taking the time to respond during the busy holiday
season!   <http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYCSUS>

Good evening, everyone.

Kim, it seems totally out of character for this to need addressing on a continual basis. I am wondering if you have the latest firmware installed, which you can find at:

RE: [disklavier] Disklavier Mark III Settings

2005-12-28 by John Hancock

I Have just purchased a used Disklavier.  It's a G1 (piano model) and has a
large floor standing cabinet that contains the DK control unit.

 

The SN is 4970805 (I think there is an RE prefix before the number).  Can
you tell me roughly it's age and something about the DK part of it please?

Re: [disklavier] Disklavier Mark III Settings

2005-12-29 by Carol Beigel

I believe you have bought the original Disklavier model called a wagon grand. It only plays Yamaha proprietary files from double density (720k) diskettes. I think it will play MIDI 0 files from a computer connected through a MIDI interface. I suspect the system is about 25 years old. It is only upgradable by purchasing the DSR1 ($1295 Retail) control box.
