Balancing the

Ensemble Volume

(TG Master Balance)

When playing back Ensemble songs, it is useful to be able to balance the volume levels of the piano and Ensemble voices. In other words, the volume of the XG tone generator should not be too loud or too quiet compared to the piano played by the Disklavier.

Once you adjust the volume using the Tone Generator Master Balance function, you can use the [VOLUME] buttons on the remote control to conveniently increase or decrease the overall volume in a normal fashion.

These balance settings are stored in the Control Unit, and are saved even when the Disklavier is turned off.
