Timing adjustment and MIDI OUT 500msec delay buffer It takes the Disklavier 500msec to produce a sound from the input of the data into the MIDI IN terminal. This function is used to set the interval between the start of the key action and actual sound to 500msec, When an external MIDI instrument is connected to the MIDI OUT of the Disklavier, it is neccessary to set the delay to 500msec. For this purpose, the MIDI OUT delay buffer is set to 500msec, MIDI IN timing is always set to DELAY IN during playback.
