UPDATE 2/19/2021: The
DKVBrowser discussion groups are now being conducted at Google Groups.
You can search by "DKVBrowser" to find a place to join for current
information.
The DKVBrowser software written by Kevin Goroway has been revised to meet the needs of users for their Disklavier Mark IV pianos recently. The software had not worked on my latest Mac laptops due to system updates that were not supported by DKVBrowser. The software had recently not worked on the latest Windows computers due to changes in system and other updates. At some point the underlying architecture of DKVBrowser (Eclipse RCP) became unsupported/incompatible.
A new version is currently being tested by members who are part of the Google Group who post info about DKVBrowser and Disklavier.
I was successful in loading the new DKVBrowser 3.0.2 onto a Mac laptop running High Sierra and one running Catalina. I have been testing the Mac version of this software and find that it is running successfully for most functions. It is nice to have the DKVBrowser to run playlists, play tunes at scheduled times and to have all the easy editing techniques and features that Kevin has shared with us. I certainly hope many will consider the Donate button to show appreciation for his generosity and talents in keeping a means to play our beloved Disklavier Mark IV.
Note as of 2022: DKVBrowser 3.0.2 is also running on my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) with M1 Chip running OS Monterrey 12.5
A series of commands from Terminal were used to get DKV3.0.2 to successfully run with newer Mac systems. An installation of later version of Java was also necessary. Contact Google Group for links to this version and instructions or help.
