CHAPTER 3: Piano Playing Features

For Joint articulation

1Press the desired key to be jointed with the next key.

2Depress and hold the sostenuto pedal, and then press another key in a certain interval.

The first note leads to the second one by added glissando between them.

Tip: This articulation is the most effective when the interval of the two notes is an octave. Note: When the interval of the jointed notes is narrower or wider than an octave, Joint articulation may not effect those notes.

For Tail (fall-down) articulation

1Press the desired key.

2While the key is pressed, depress the damper pedal, and then release the key.

3Release the damper pedal to mute the note. The note sustains for a while with its pitch falling down to the lower octave’s note before muting the note completely.

Tip: When you immediately release the damper pedal, short Tail articulation effects on that note. When you slowly release the damper pedal, long Tail articulation effects on that note.

Note: The Disklavier stops sustaining the note, and then adds Tail articulation at the release of the damper pedal (not at the release of the key).

Adding Chords to a Melody Line (Harmony Mode)

In Quiet or Headphone mode, the Disklavier can add a chord suitable for the melody line played on the keys higher than the split point in accordance with the notes played (but without sound) on the keys* lower than the split point.

*The Disklavier creates a chord based on the notes of up to three keys.

Note: In this mode, the keys lower than the split point are muted.
