Key Prompt

“Key Prompt” is the partial movement of a key that doesn’t create any sound. “Key Prompt” is very useful for a visual indication of guided notes when using the “Guide” function. The “Key Prompt” is used to signal which keys you should play in order to teach you simple melodies. “Key Prompt” is turned on automatically whenever the “Guide”’ mode is engaged and “Key Prompt”’ function is set to AUTO (default).

Note: “SmartKey compatible” CueTIME disks automatically turn this feature off, so as to not interfere with your live piano performance. CueTIME relies solely on “Prompt Repeat” for visual cues. See “Prompt Repeat Function” on page 50 for more information.

If you prefer to turn off key prompts for guided notes and use the screen prompt exclusively, you need to turn this feature off manually as follows.

Chapter 12:

Using the

SmartKey

The Disklavier will now pause at each note you miss in the track that you have chosen to guide. For the guide note, the orange indicator flashes, and the display shows the note number. If you play with perfect timing and do not miss any notes, the Disklavier will not pause.

Note: When a chord is supposed to be played, only one of the guide notes is displayed on the screen. When any of the notes of the chord is played, the Disklavier continues play to the next guide note.

Note: Guide parts cannot be changed during playback. Guide settings can only be changed during pause or stop.
