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

Setting Up the Disklavier for Keyboard Playing Data Transmission (KBD OUT)

Besides the [MIDI OUT] options, more detailed setups for the keyboard playing data transmission is available. The following options should be set up in advance.

[Out Ch]

Assigns the piano part to the desired channels.

[##]: 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 transmit the ON/OFF pedal data to the “01” and the half-pedal data to the “03”. (This option is prepared for the data format used on the former version of the Disklavier.)

[Local]

Selects whether you reproduce or not the piano part playing with the Disklavier’s internal tone generator.

[ON]: Select this when you reproduce the piano part with the Disklavier’s internal tone generator.

[OFF]: Select this when you reproduce the song (played on the Disklavier) on the external MIDI device. This option inactivates the internal tone generator to prevent both the internal and external tone generator sound at the same time.

[Split]

Sets the split point on the desired note that divides the keyboard into left-hand and right-hand part. The selected note and the notes lower than that note are assigned to the channel set in [Out Ch] option, and the notes higher than that note are assigned to the channel next to the channel set in [Out Ch] option.

[A-1] thru [C7]:

Select the desired note as the split point.

[OFF]: Select this when you assign all the notes to one channel.

[Trans L]

Transposes the left-hand part to the desired key at transmission.

[Trans R]

Transposes the right-hand part to the desired key at transmission.

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.
