Controlling the
Disklavier in Real Time
As the Disklavier uses a mechanical system for
driving the piano keys, incoming MIDI data
cannot be played instantly. For this reason a fixed
delay of 500 ms is usually applied to all incoming
MIDI data. For most applications this delay will
not be a problem.
If you want to play the Disklavier in “real time”
via a MIDI master keyboard, synthesizer, or MIDI
guitar controller, this fixed delay can be turned
off. However, it will still take the Disklavier time
to respond to incoming MIDI data and the
Disklavier piano response time will vary based on
the velocity of the notes and is not user-
controllable.
You need to set the Delay In parameter to OFF
and set the Piano Rcv Ch parameter to match that
of the other keyboard’s MIDI transmit channel. If
the channels do not match, the Disklavier will not
respond to the MIDI data.
☛
Refer to the other keyboard’s user guide for
information on setting its transmit MIDI channels.
