Mark IV Song Skip parameter
2006-12-04 by teburkstrand
I am new to the group. Our church recently purchased a Yamaha Mark IX Pro (DC2M4). I am the designated volunteer technical support person charged with establishing MIDI libraries that can be drawn from for Church services. Sources for the library will include other churches, the internet, and selections I play in myself. In any event, all need editing on an external computer before (and sometimes after) being loaded onto the disklavier. I would like to be able to have the song skip parameter to default to "Skip" on when I load a song or be able to mass change this parameter for an entire album. Background: In order to establish a playlist that will play a selection, and stop before playing the next selection, I set the skip parameter to On for all songs and the repeat parameter for the playlist to "all". This achieves the desired result. (I also had to set our system parameter to not ignore empty space in order to prevent the disklavier from playing the first note of the next song!) I would also be interested in documentation that is more technical than what is supplied with the unit (like how does the disklavier name files) instead of figuring everything out by trial and error testing. Is there anything available that I am not aware of? We are delighted with the sound and capabilities of this instrument! Thanks Tom Burkstrand
