CHAPTER 7: Enhancing the Disklavier Features by Hooking Up a MIDI Device

Setting Up the Disklavier for MIDI Data Reception (MIDI IN)

The Disklavier can play back the MIDI data being received from the connected MIDI device as well as the software loaded or stored in the Disklavier itself. The following options should be set up in advance.

[Port]

Selects the terminal/port used for the data reception.

[MIDI]: Select this when the MIDI device is connected to MIDI IN terminal.

[USB]: Select this when the MIDI device is connected to USB port on the front of the I/O Center.

[Piano Rcv Ch]

The MIDI data consists of multi channels that are respectively assigned to a certain instrument’s part. This option assigns the desired channel(s) to the piano part(s) that is (are) played back on the Disklavier’s keyboard.

[##]: Select this when you assign no channel to the piano part.

[01] thru [16]:

Select the desired channel to which you assign the piano part.

[HP]: Select this when you assign the “01” and “02” channels to the piano parts, and the “03” channel to the pedal part.

[1+2]: Select this when the “01” and “02” channels are assigned to the piano parts.

[Prg]: Selects the smallest number channel assigned to the piano group voice (→ pg. 68) to be played on the Disklavier.

[Prg(All)]: Selects all channels assigned to the piano group voice (→ pg. 68) to be played on the Disklavier.

[Delay]

When the Disklavier receives two kinds of data (strong and weak note) at the same time, the weak note sounds a little bit later than the strong one due to the characteristics of the Disklavier’s mechanism. To eliminate this delay in the sound reproduction and the notes are sounded in accurate timing at 500 millisecond after the data reception, usually a delay is applied to the incoming MIDI data.

[ON]: Select this when you apply this delay to the incoming MIDI data.

[OFF]: Select this when you do not apply this delay.

piano specifications

Yamaha pianos are renowned for their exceptional quality, rich sound, and innovative technologies, making them a popular choice among musicians and music enthusiasts. With a history dating back to 1887, Yamaha has continually evolved its piano designs to meet the needs of players across genres and skill levels.

One of the main features that sets Yamaha pianos apart is their diverse range of models, which includes acoustic, digital, and hybrid pianos. Acoustic pianos, such as the popular C-series grand pianos, are constructed with high-quality woods and materials, providing a traditional playing experience characterized by a rich tonal palette and impressive resonance. The YDP series of digital pianos incorporates advanced features while maintaining a traditional aesthetic, making them ideal for home use.

Yamaha's dedication to innovation is evident in its digital pianos, which boast cutting-edge technology. The Real Grand Expression (RGE) technology in premium models ensures an authentic touch and sound experience, closely mimicking that of an acoustic piano. The Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action emulates the heavier touch of lower keys and lighter touch in higher keys, allowing players to develop proper finger technique.

Another notable technology found in Yamaha pianos is the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which optimizes sound output at various volume levels. This feature ensures that the piano sounds full and balanced whether played quietly or at concert levels. Additionally, the Acoustic Optimizer improves sound projection and tonal clarity, delivering a more immersive playing experience.

For those who seek an interactive learning experience, Yamaha integrates educational features in its digital models. The Smart Chord and Smart Pianist app allows users to explore new songs and practice effectively, making it easier for beginners to learn and understand music theory.

Yamaha pianos are also designed with durability and craftsmanship in mind. The use of premium materials and precise manufacturing processes ensures that each instrument not only sounds incredible but is built to last. This commitment to quality and performance makes Yamaha pianos a trusted choice for aspiring musicians and seasoned professionals alike.

Ultimately, whether you’re looking for an elegant acoustic instrument or a technologically advanced digital piano, Yamaha offers a wide selection that meets the needs of every player, combining tradition with innovation to create instruments that inspire creativity and passion for music.
