Pre-recorded Disklavier music too loud

2006-10-08 by chadbot

Help on another topic:
The pre-recorded diskette files we received play too loudly on the
piano.  Turning the volume down to "-10" does not provide sufficient
volume reduction.  

The environmnent we're playing in needs the music to be not so
overwhelming.  

Looking for options:
1)  Is it possible the unit is faulty, and that "-10" should be
significantly reduced ?
2)  Is there any way to modify the prerecorded disk files using a midi
editor (set the volume lower in the midi file)?
3) Other ideas?

Thanks

Greetings chadbot,

I have a free utility on my web site that will allow you modify MIDI
velocities. It is called midimod2. I also have many other programs on
the site including a MIDI equalizer that you can use to scale
velocities by note. You can process whole folders of files unattended.

Re your other question, you may need to set the MIDI patch or
instrument definition to 0 or 1 to play the piano. The midimod2
program also allows you to do this, if I remember correctly. It has
been a while since I used (wrote) the program.

You can find these and other programs on the following page:

Thanks, I've downloaded the utility, but haven't had time to sort through
it.
