OK so I'm using my Midi keyboard to control midi date and outputting it to a disklavier.

But there is a one second delay. I'm a big beginner at Max msp so is there any solution to this. Any object to decrease the delay going to the disklavier? Anyway to control the speed of MIDI?

Also on a side note. When I hold down the notes on the keyboard, they won't hold down on the disklavier. I'm sure this is a very simple problem but what object would I need to look up to control this.

The Disklavier has a default delay of 500 ms (not one second) between the time it receives MIDI and the time it plays the received notes. That's intentional, in order to give the piano time to move the hammers and get them all to the string at the correct instant. You can probably imagine that a low-velocity note message sends the hammer to the string more slowly than a high-velocity note (unlike on a synthesizer, where there's no such mechanical action required). That means that low-velocity notes don't respond as quickly as high-velocity ones. So to compensate for that and retain the correct rhythm between notes, the Disklavier buffers received MIDI. You can turn off that feature, but the rhythmic accuracy of the piano's response will likely suffer a bit.

The latter problem, of notes not staying on, sounds more like it might be a bug in your Max program.

How would you turn off that feature? Or at least decrease it do you know?

I understand you. But I want to use it as a live performance. Would sound kinda strange if there is a delay that little. Any solution to the problem do you think?

"unlike on a synthesizer, where there's no such mechanical action required"

in the DX-7 t here are little green men inside which are plucking little strings

and perform the frequency modulation by waving with their little green arms.

whenever i move my DX9, there's a rattle inside, like something is loose..... is it one of those green guys? This explains so much
