CHAPTER 3: Piano Playing Features
43
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.
Setting up Harmony Mode
You can select the desired split point and the balance
between the chord’s volume and the melody line’s
volume.
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).
