Turning off the “Prompt Repeat” option for CueTIME disks

If you find the repeating key prompts distracting when performing your piece from the written music, you can turn off the “Prompt Repeat” function. The display always shows the next cue note if you happen to miss one in performing your piece.

With the disk already in the disk drive and a song already selected:

1 Press [FUNC.].

2 Press [>] to move the c cursor to the SmartKey option, then press [ENTER].

3 Press [>] to move the c cursor to the Prompt Repeat option.

4 Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select OFF.

5 Press [FUNC.].

If you play the CueTIME disk now, no keys will move to indicate “cue keys.” The only way to know which key the Disklavier is waiting for is to look in the upper right hand corner of the display. (See “Key notation” on page 46 for a visual reference on cues and their corresponding keys.)

Guide Control

For other types of software not labeled “SmartKey compatible,” you may be able to use special SmartKey functions such as the “Guide” function included in your Disklavier. The “Guide” function allows you to practice at your own pace when used with some disk software. With this feature, the Disklavier pauses playback of the accompaniment until you play the same notes that have been recorded on the guide track. Either the “R” track (right-hand) or the “L” track (left-hand) can be guided, either individually or simultaneously.

Both SmartKey and CueTIME disks turn this “Guide” function on automatically. (To use these disks, see “Using a SmartKey Disk” on page 45 and “Using a CueTime Disk” on page 47.) This feature does not turn on automatically, so if you want to use this feature with other disks (such as “Disk Orchestra Collection” and “You Are The Artist” disks), you will have to turn it on manually as follows.
