It's best to get your hands on a manual and follow the instructions for Learn mode. You have to put a floppy disk in, then simultaneously depress the buttons 1 and 4 to enter the programming menus. I think it is on the second page on button 4. After choosing Start it will start playing C8. You adjust the volume using the volume buttons. I think it is the Next/Previous song buttons that advance the note being played. You want to set it at the lowest level that still allows the key to function. But you also want uniformity from one key to another and many notes will not adjust as soft as others. You have to determine the minimum volume for a section at a time and try to set all other notes in that area to that volume. When done setting volumes press the Play button to store the settings. Before doing all this it is pretty critical that the action be in good regulation and uniformly voiced before you can get good uniformity from the mechanical system.

I now own the piano but am having frustrations with the unevenness of the sensitivity from note to note. You mention that there is a way to adjust this with software. Can you share with me more how this works? I've been in contact with Pianodisk about this, but I seem to be having difficulty getting the right info. I'm guessing the system is about 7 or 8 years old. On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 7:53 AM, Larry Fisher RPT <larryf at pacifier.com> wrote: I have installed this product numerous times. I enjoy the challenge that it provides. Careful planning is the key. I find myself standing in front of the piano with the cabinet pieces removed, studying the placement of things for sometimes an hour before I actually get started. The pivot support locations are the issues. On quite a few Baldwins I've simply drilled a hole in the action bracket and used it as the support since there was no room for the supplied hardware and the bracket was in the way of the rod's placement anyway. The end result was quite smart looking and worked very well. 3mm to 5mm of preload is the spec on the TFT strip. After installing the mute rail, be sure to set the let off at 5mm. This distance should be the point of contact with the rail. After all is adjusted with the action, use the mylar strip to set the TFT strip's sensitivities. Things like touch response curve from soft to loud, volume levels, and one other thing I can't think of right now are adjusted through software access. Lar Have any of you had positive experience with that ? Here in the Americas the Pianodisc QuietTime with Piano Mute seem the obvious choice. -- Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter Olympia, WA www.pianova.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
