Mark IV Song Skip parameter

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
