DC3 Pro Key Sensor Question

2009-09-23 by Phil Becker

I have a millennium edition DC3 Pro that has developed an issue with the key
sensor on a couple of keys on the high end of the keyboard.  The sensors
aren't completely out, but rather seem to have only a couple of levels of
resolution, so sometimes the keys don't send the midi output when struck,
and sometimes they do.  Even when they do, however, the output is very
"coarse" for those two keys. In all other respects the piano is operating
100% correctly.

My question is: Is this likely to be a bad sensor that will need to be
replaced, or is it possible that it is a dirty sensor that could somehow be
cleaned and not need replacing.  Before taking things apart and trying to
clean the keys at that level, I thought I'd find out if it is a losing
mission and I just need to call a technician and prepare to buy new sensors.

Greetings gould2802,

what about 2008? wish i had found these files a few days ago. i separately extracted all the data from the Yamaha site and pasted it in to a spreadsheet. i also have 2008. i downloaded all the files that are still available in hi res format and added the year to the file name to distinguish some that would be ambiguous as the same performer was in more than one year of comps. my spreadsheet can be used to add MIDI keywords to the files and once converted to MP3 to play on the LX system, MP3 tags can be added.i will compare your list to mine as a check on accuracy of copying from the site. is this the way you did it? i also prefer your last, first name as opposed to the way it is on the site. i will probably convert mine as i have a script somewhere that converts first,last to last, first but it might not work with some of the hyphenated names.

is there some reason that 2008 is missing?

I am planning to add the 2008 files, but haven't had the opportunity and time yet. But may be I can profit from your work. So, are you planning to upload your 2008 spreadsheet?

Greetings Kay,

not planning on uploading it but can. i just merged your list with mine and made the formats uniform so we both have file
name with year appended to work with my programs. i forget what yamaha did from year to year but i thought that they always
had names first, last. at some point i switched them with a perl script and hand edited the stuff that was too strange to do
automatically. when i merge the lists i see that we have virtually the same data in every field so maybe you started with
something that i gave to someone at some point and might have been posted. it looks like both of our lists are too similar to
be a coincidence. i will be switching first,last to last first in the 2009 entries either with the script, if i can find it, or just by
copying yours over to mine. for now, here is the xls as it is now. you are welcome to use the 2008 data. at some point we should agree
on a format and make both of our lists the same. now that i think of it, i think i did share my list after i had done just years 2002 to 2006
which is probably what you got and might be why you are missing 2008. in this exs my stuff is the yellow highlighted.

Re: [disklavier] DC3 Pro Key Sensor Question

2009-09-24 by Carol Beigel

I could be something fell between the keys.  Are those two keys next to each

I doubt the sensors need to be replaced.  First, look for a foreign object,
then check the action regulation.  Then the key sensors can br adjusted in
maintenance mode, and that may require a technician.

I think with a tiny bit of work, and the latest version of DKVBrowser this information can be made to import directly into a Mark IV, with information in the comments where it doesn't fit into the song title.

Any interest?

RE: [disklavier] DC3 Pro Key Sensor Question

2009-09-24 by Phil Becker

Carol,
 
Thanks.  Yes, the two keys in question are a black and white key adjacent.
I'll pull things down and look to see if there is any obstruction, then
regulate the action on the keys. I just wanted to know I wasn't on a fool's
errand before I took a half day doing that.
 
While the DC3 Pro is it's own beast, I think it's mostly a Mark III variant
with higher resolution sensors and servos.  It uses the DKC500RW controller
and was built in 2000.

Re: [disklavier] combined spreadsheet of the 2002, 2004, 2006 ande 2009 files

2009-09-24 by Spencer_Lists

Greetings Kevin,

I think I finally got all (ha ha) of the errors corrected in my listing. I found some inconsistencies on the Yam
site which caused me to make some errors and then made a nice bunch of my own in excel. Personally I can't imagine
why anyone would want to listen to the E-Comp files, many of which are excellent, without being able to know what you are selecting.
However I seem to be alone in what I think is important. I am thrilled that I have all 1340 titles in Itunes
as MP3 files with tags that display in the files window. Unfortunately I don't think that the DKV will reliably play MP3 files
due to the phase shift encoding. Since there is no standard way to add text tags to WAV files, it seems that the perfect
solution is the DKVBrowser.

I am not aware of how to upload files to Yahoo groups so I'll put the text file on my web site at:
http://spencerserolls.com/Files4Download.html will be about half way down the page and linked as E-Comp-text
the file name once downloaded will be yamtitle.zip and is a tab delimited text file that can be viewed in excel.

If anyone uses MIDI files and wants to add text keywords to them, I have a program that will do so using this
listing.

I have all of the files on the list in XP format when available. If anyone has files that are no longer available I will add them to the list
if the files can be gotten. There are a few which were withdrawn and there are a few dead links on the Yam site.

To eliminate ambiguity I have added the date to the file names as there are a few file names that exist in more than one year.
This means that to have a match between files and the listing, you need to add (year) to the end of the file name before the extension.

Re: [disklavier] DC3 Pro Key Sensor Question

2009-09-24 by Carol Beigel

It really sounds like a very small object has lodged between the keys. In my experience, objects have been as large as a coin, or small as a large grain us sugar from a cookie. Sometimes a seed from a flower, or a pine needle or leaf. Also check to see that the piano hammers are not touching each other when the notes are played. I use a thin palette knife to swipe between the keys. Just be careful. Once it was some baby mice!

Carol,
Thanks. Yes, the two keys in question are a black and white key adjacent. I'll pull things down and look to see if there is any obstruction, then regulate the action on the keys. I just wanted to know I wasn't on a fool's errand before I took a half day doing that.
While the DC3 Pro is it's own beast, I think it's mostly a Mark III variant with higher resolution sensors and servos. It uses the DKC500RW controller and was built in 2000.

I could be something fell between the keys. Are those two keys next to each
other? It could also be a piano action problem. Is this a MarkIII model?
I doubt the sensors need to be replaced. First, look for a foreign object,
then check the action regulation. Then the key sensors can br adjusted in
maintenance mode, and that may require a technician.

Re: [disklavier] combined spreadsheet of the 2002, 2004, 2006 ande 2009 files

2009-09-24 by Kay Gould

Hello,
1) I don“t have a DVK, wish I had. I playback competetion files and piano roll files on a clavinova or make mp3 files of the midi's using sound fonts.
2) Direct links
Suppose the name of a midi in the spreadsheet is Denisova12(2008), Denisova12 or whatever other name, then the associated "direct" link is (always) http://www.piano-e-competition..com/ecompetition/MIDIFiles/2008/Denisova12.MID.
3) Editing text files. My aproach is not very systematically, but rather heuristic. I use a small text editor (Metapad), Word and a utility, named TextMonkey. And finally (in Excel) several text functions, for instance to switch from Hanna Shybayeva to Shybayeva, Hanna.
4) I will not spend a lot of time to find missing files. Even without these files, there remain plenty midi's (over 1300) which can be searched and sorted in various ways.
best regards

Greetings Kevin,

I think I finally got all (ha ha) of the errors corrected in my listing. I found some inconsistencies on the Yam
site which caused me to make some errors and then made a nice bunch of my own in excel. Personally I can't imagine
why anyone would want to listen to the E-Comp files, many of which are excellent, without being able to know what you are selecting.
However I seem to be alone in what I think is important. I am thrilled that I have all 1340 titles in Itunes
as MP3 files with tags that display in the files window. Unfortunately I don't think that the DKV will reliably play MP3 files
due to the phase shift encoding. Since there is no standard way to add text tags to WAV files, it seems that the perfect
solution is the DKVBrowser.

I am not aware of how to upload files to Yahoo groups so I'll put the text file on my web site at:
http://spencerserol ls.com/Files4Dow nload.html will be about half way down the page and linked as E-Comp-text
the file name once downloaded will be yamtitle.zip and is a tab delimited text file that can be viewed in excel.

If anyone uses MIDI files and wants to add text keywords to them, I have a program that will do so using this
listing.

I have all of the files on the list in XP format when available. If anyone has files that are no longer available I will add them to the list
if the files can be gotten. There are a few which were withdrawn and there are a few dead links on the Yam site.

To eliminate ambiguity I have added the date to the file names as there are a few file names that exist in more than one year.
This means that to have a match between files and the listing, you need to add (year) to the end of the file name before the extension.

I think with a tiny bit of work, and the latest version of DKVBrowser this information can be made to import directly into a Mark IV, with information in the comments where it doesn't fit into the song title.

Any interest?

Greetings Kay,

not planning on uploading it but can. i just merged your list with mine and made the formats uniform so we both have file
name with year appended to work with my programs. i forget what yamaha did from year to year but i thought that they always
had names first, last. at some point i switched them with a perl script and hand edited the stuff that was too strange to do
automatically. when i merge the lists i see that we have virtually the same data in every field so maybe you started with
something that i gave to someone at some point and might have been posted. it looks like both of our lists are too similar to
be a coincidence. i will be switching first,last to last first in the 2009 entries either with the script, if i can find it, or just by
copying yours over to mine. for now, here is the xls as it is now. you are welcome to use the 2008 data. at some point we should agree
on a format and make both of our lists the same. now that i think of it, i think i did share my list after i had done just years 2002 to 2006
which is probably what you got and might be why you are missing 2008. in this exs my stuff is the yellow highlighted.

Greetings gould2802,

what about 2008? wish i had found these files a few days ago. i separately extracted all the data from the Yamaha site and pasted it in to a spreadsheet. i also have 2008. i downloaded all the files that are still available in hi res format and added the year to the file name to distinguish some that would be ambiguous as the same performer was in more than one year of comps. my spreadsheet can be used to add MIDI keywords to the files and once converted to MP3 to play on the LX system, MP3 tags can be added..i will compare your list to mine as a check on accuracy of copying from the site. is this the way you did it? i also prefer your last, first name as opposed to the way it is on the site. i will probably convert mine as i have a script somewhere that converts first,last to last, first but it might not work with some of the hyphenated names.

is there some reason that 2008 is missing?

RE: [disklavier] DC3 Pro Key Sensor Question

2009-09-24 by athomik

On the Disklavier (apart from an actual fault in the sensor assembly), the LEDs in the sensors can deteriorate with age, which affects the response of the keys/hammers. Dust and foreign materials can also have a similar effect. Another thing which affects the response is any work done on the keys or action. If you come across this problem, and as a matter of routine after any action/key work, you should run through the calibration procedure. Check with Yamaha regarding how to run this procedure (not sure where Yamaha in the US stand with regard to giving out information about test procedures). If you still have a problem after re-calibrating the piano, you need to get an engineer to have a look.
