Chapter 10
The Disklavier & MIDI
This chapter describes how the Disklavier can be used with other MIDI instruments. The Disklavier’s
MIDI functions are quite flexible, so there are many different connection possibilities. This chapter
provides a few examples. Even if your particular application is not among these, you should be able to
derive the information required to create your own setup by reading through these setup examples.
Note:
For the MIDI setups described in this chapter, it is recommended that you connect your MIDI instrument to
the MIDI OUT connector and set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI so that the Disklavier functions
properly. See “Setting the HOST SELECT Switch” on page 72.
Start/Stop Control of a
MIDI Instrument with
the Disklavier
In this setup, song disks are played on the
Disklavier and a MIDI drum machine or
sequencer plays in synchronization. When
[PLAY] is pressed, the MIDI instrument starts to
play. It can also be paused and stopped via the
Disklavier. In addition, the tempo of the MIDI
instrument will change as the tempo of the
Disklavier is adjusted.
1
Connect the Disklavier’s MIDI OUT
to the MIDI instrument’s MIDI IN
connector using a MIDI cable.

Set the MIDI instrument to
synchronize with the incoming
MIDI clock, sometimes called
“MIDI SYNC”.
Refer to its operating manual for details.
