I had a similar problem when I tried connecting to my Mark IV with my iPad app. Once I upgraded the PRC-100 hand held controller via the device, it finally did connect. Try just restarting your piano. Hope that works.Granny Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904240567633289806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-85005056010660751522012-11-10T15:41:07.431-07:002012-11-10T15:41:07.431-07:00I have a problem with the PRC-100 hand held contro...I have a problem with the PRC-100 hand held controller. It will not connect to the Mark IV. This has occurred since I updated the application to 4.01 from 4. Now there is no information under Application/Current/Next. Piano assign will not work. Mark IV is connected to my wireless network and works with my iPhone app & with Virtual PRC. Any suggestions? I would be most appreciative of any help.

If you tap on this, you will see a slash. If you tap on this slash (/) you will see individual midi files that you moved to that folder from your PC. You should also be able to move entire folders with midis inside into this folder on your Windows machine. Those folder names will be shown in the list under the slash (/). The slash symbol is a root directory for storing single midi files that are not in a folder. You should be able to select the single midi file name and it will appear on the screen at the top of the iPhone. Then hit the "play" button to play the midi you have loaded. Hope this helps.Granny Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904240567633289806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-32183535086605581662012-04-05T20:48:05.949-07:002012-04-05T20:48:05.949-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Granny Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904240567633289806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-90073663236414519952012-04-04T15:40:01.570-07:002012-04-04T15:40:01.570-07:00I'm using iPhone app as well and I went one st...I'm using iPhone app as well and I went one step further but still not all the way.<br />I managed to find DKVxxxx in my Windows desktop computer as networked device.<br />So far so good.<br />Furthermore I managed to open it and to find its files, including "From/To PC" folder.<br />I dropped two .mid files there just to test it.<br />The problem is that I can't see those files from the iPhon app. <br />Can anyone help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-80992755343199166312011-02-01T13:50:56.846-07:002011-02-01T13:50:56.846-07:00Robert,

A Connect to Server window will appear on your Mac desktop with textbox for Server Address, Favorite Servers and buttons for Remove, Browse, and Connect. <br /><br />Click on the Browse button and hopefully a list of various servers on your network will appear with names or IP addresses (e.g. 10.0.1.8) or dkv#####. <br /><br />If you see the dkv##### (id for your Disklavier where ##### are numbers) then you can access the folders by clicking on the down arrow next to the name dkv#####. You should then see the following folders that are accessible from your Disklavier: DNA, Document, FromToPC, MyPicture, Update.<br /><br />The DNA folder contains the file VirtualPRC,html for setting up your virtual PRC controller.<br /><br />The Document folder has a bunch of subfolders and I've never used them, most are license stuff and don't need to be bothered.<br /><br />The FromToPC folder is where you can drag and drop midi files to move back and forth from your PC to your piano. <br /><br />The MyPicture folder has sample pictures that are used for the tablet if you have one. These jpg files are displayed in various screens on the tablet controller that some persons purchased with their Disklavier piano. I have used my own personal family photos that display on my tablet by replacing these sample jpg files. (Replacement photos must have the names mysample01.jpg ... mysample11.jpg)<br /><br />The update folder has update files for the PRC and tablet and should not be bothered.<br /><br />Hopefully this will explain the files and folders that you should see on your Mac that are accessible from your Mac that reside on your Disklavier.<br /><br />IF you have a PC, then I suspect there is also a way to access or browse the servers that are accessible on your wifi network in a similar manner.Granny Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904240567633289806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-47593691792265326182011-02-01T13:25:29.037-07:002011-02-01T13:25:29.037-07:00Annoymous,

Took about 5 mins<br />to download with a 8Mb broadband connection.<br /><br />It then asks you if you want to reboot now or later. I selected Reboot now.<br /><br />After this, the PRC would not reconnect. So I had to manually push the power<br />button on the piano to take it out of standby.<br /><br />When the PRC reconnected, it said that I should update the PRC Interface from<br />v3.0 to v4.0 - it did not do this automatically.<br /><br />To do this I had to go into the main PRC-100 menu (using the icon in the bottom<br />left of the screen) and select 'Interface Updater'<br /><br />After a brief message saying it is 'Searching for update file...' there were the<br />following 3 updates possible:<br /><br />Application Current Version Next Version<br />Interface 3.0.0 4.0.0<br />PRC-100 Menu 1.1.0 1.1.1<br />Service Center 1.1.0 1.1.1<br /><br />I selected all of them, and then pressed 'Install'<br /><br />A message saying 'Downloading...' appeared on the PRC for about 30 seconds and<br />then 'Updating...' for about 1-2 minutes.<br /><br />A message then appeared saying 'Interface program updated successfully' - tapped<br />OK<br /><br />-------<br /><br />Hope this will step you in the right direction. (I basically followed these to update to the new 4.0 system for the piano). <br /><br />Exiting the Interface updater automatically caused the PRC 100 to reboot -<br />another couple of minutes.Granny Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-60614385586881622702010-04-16T16:23:28.643-07:002010-04-16T16:23:28.643-07:00You can upgrade to version 4.0 by running it from ...You can upgrade to version 4.0 by running it from the PRC (remote device that came with the piano) or virtual PRC that you can run from your computer if you are utilizing the wifi connection via your computer.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Granny Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-55396857744365917522010-04-16T05:06:46.705-07:002010-04-16T05:06:46.705-07:00Ditto.

After waking up my iPhone it would not "connect" with the Disklavier. Reconnecting to the Disklavier is normally very quick - just a couple of seconds. Anyway after 30 seconds or so of trying to connect an error message appeared saying "version 4.0 software was needed for the Disklavier and something else (can't remember what exactly) and then reboot the Disklavier". I running the app again and got the same error messsage. <br /><br />2. Well, I know the Disklavier did not need rebooting because my wife was having no problems with her iPhone controlling the Disklavier. <br /><br />3. So, I rebooted my iPhone instead. Then everything worked fine again. So, that error message is just misleading. <br /><br />FYI...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-58446428371462715252010-03-11T17:07:17.594-07:002010-03-11T17:07:17.594-07:00The Disklavier Controller app works great especial...The Disklavier Controller app works great especially for the first release. The only minor thing I found was that the slider for adjusting the volumes will sometimes jump back to its original position. But I found that sliding it more slowly will fix that issue. <br /><br />The only thing that is missing is the ability to search for a song or album title, as you already mentioned. But I imagine that will be added sooner or later. <br /><br />Thanks for the excdllent review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32252554.post-52599852520109496012010-03-11T08:24:40.021-07:002010-03-11T08:24:40.021-07:00Joan!
