I want to put my disklavier on my home network.
2012-05-24 by esopera
I have a DKC 500R XG with a DCD1 cd player. I would really like to network this. Is there any way other than getting a DKC 850? The 850 is too expensive.

You could connect your DKC500RXG/DCD1 to a computer with a MIDI-USB adapter and use something like DKV Browser to control them. (You wouldn't necessarily need the DCD1 in the loop). Do a search on "disklavier" on Yahoo groups, and you should find details for the DKV browser.

DKVBrowser won't help here. It only knows how to talk to MarkIV/DKC850/E3 pianos, and know's nothing about MIDI. There are plenty of other midi players that would do the trick though. ________________________________ From: athomik <mangez@...> To: disklavier@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 6:35 AM Subject: Re: [disklavier] I want to put my disklavier on my home network.

Ooohps, I forgot - Mrs T was talking to me about dinner options.
For MIDI applications, Vanbasco seems to be quite popular. (see
http://www.vanbasco.com/products.html for details)

I have been trying to figure this out also. I have come to 3 conclusions:
1) buy the DKC850 - probably the best choice
2) buy a MIDI to wireless converter - also very expensive ($400) there are still a few on the market
3) modify a MIDI cable so that one end plugs into an ethernet port. I have seen this done and it worked fine. The guy used trial and error to get the connections wired correctly. I think there are only four wires. Anyway, I put some cable diagrams on the new version of MIDI Player Tools at: www.midiplayertools.com which covers in more detail all of the above options.

you can also use a small dedicated computer to send either midi or
audio encoded piano data to the computer and network that computer.
this is what i do with my LX pianos. i use "media monkey" as a file
server and use "team viewer" to control the dedicated computer from
any computer in the world, not just my network. i can play my piano
from an android, a, ipad/pod tablet or any PC or Mac computer
because team viewer has versions for all of them. media monkey
allows you to manage metadata ina multitude of ways, even for WAV
and MIDI files. this entry (and a couple other on the blog) covers
that basics of setting up this system on the LX piano. it is
essentially the same for the DKV or any piano that plays MIDI files
or audio encoded files.
