Disklavier

One of the new features that we tested on our Mark IV using Version
3.0 software, appears not to work correctly.  

Details of problem: 
Using the Pocket Controller (or the new "Virtual PCR Interface" of the
Disklavier software Version 3), I can no longer change the "voice" as
described below (and on page 19 of the Yamaha "Quick Guide" for the
Pro/Mark IV Series). It appears to be stuck on the "Grand Piano"
sound. It has been quite a while since I used this feature so I do not
know if it stopped working with Version 3.00 or a previous Disklavier
software version.  

From page 19 of the disklavier Quick Guide: 
=========================================================================
"Selecting the Voice in Quiet/Headphone Mode
In Quiet Mode or Headphone mode, you can select the digital piano
sound (voice) that expresses various instruments to your preference. 

    1. Tap on "Voice" in the Information Area.
    2. Tap on the desired voice (e.g. Grand Piano, Bright Piano,
...Jazz Organ...Choir...AEM-Sax Section).
    3. Tap on "Exit" to clear the [Voice] screen."
=========================================================================

Just wondering if this is a known problem, or if anyone else is
experiencing this problem.  Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Joan

Joan,

Just read your note and went and tried it.  It's working perfectly for me.  (but I have the beta of 3.0, not the final release).
Maybe it's broken in the final release?  Can anyone confirm?

Joan,

I installed the 3.0 upgrade (the full version, not the Beta that 
Kevin was testing) and this feature is working perfectly on my piano. 

The quiet mode is something I use quite a bit, and I do switch 
between the Grand Piano sound and the Electric Piano (I used to have 
a Rhodes Electric Piano) so I know the switching worked even on when 
I was using 2.1 and 2.0 before that.  

So, sorry, at first glance it wouldn't appear to be a release 
problem, but then again, this is a sample of one.
