3Piano Playing Features

The beats of the metronome help you play the Disklavier

with a steady tempo. The tempo, the meter (beat), and the

volume of the click can be adjusted.

Note: The [Tempo] value indicates the number of

beats in a minute, and one beat represents a quarter

note. When you play a song written in different

measure unit, convert the unit to quarter note (e.g.

When playing a song in 3/2, set [Beat] to 6/4).

This function lets you play the piano sound of the

Disklavier accompanied by other voices produced by the

internal tone generator. A maximum of two voices sound

in unison with the right-hand part that you play and one

voice does with the left-hand part. You can also mute the

piano sound to your preference.
