Basic Playback
The Disklavier can play back piano songs contained in PianoSoft, PianoSoft·Plus,
PianoSoft·PlusAudio, and PianoSoft·PlusGraphics software. Furthermore, audio/MIDI
CDs of other manufacturer’s and standard audio CDs, as well as piano songs that you
recorded in the song library* of the Disklavier can be played back.
* For details on organizing songs with the internal song libraries, see “Song Libraries and Their
Contents” on pg. 9.
Note:
PianoSoft·PlusAudio CDs may not be available in some countries.
PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus floppy disks
When piano songs such as those contained in PianoSoft and
PianoSoft·Plus floppy disks are played back on the Disklavier, the
piano parts are actually played by the Disklavier keyboard, and the
keys move up and down as though they were being played by an invisible performer. The
ensemble parts, (contained in PianoSoft·Plus software), are played by the internal XG
tone generator and are heard from the Monitor speakers**.
PianoSoft·PlusAudio and audio/MIDI CDs of
other manufacturer’s
PianoSoft·PlusAudio songs and other manufacturer’s audio/MIDI songs are recorded
using two channels, an analog MIDI channel for the piano parts and an audio channel
for instrumentals and vocals. When they are played back on the Disklavier, the piano
parts are played by the Disklavier keyboard as with PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus songs,
and all other instrumental and vocal parts are heard from the Monitor speakers** just
like a normal stereo system.
PianoSoft·PlusGraphics software
When piano songs contained in PianoSoft·PlusGraphics software are
played back on the Disklavier, piano parts are actually played by the
Disklavier keyboard, and the ensemble parts are played by the internal XG tone
generator and are heard from the Monitor speakers**. Furthermore, synchronized
pictures and text information are also output from the VIDEO OUT jack on the I/O
Center. To play back a PianoSoft·PlusGraphics song, select the song with
in the
song list screen.
