English Chapter 12: Advanced Ensemble Song Playback
Selecting Tracks for the
Piano Parts
Normally, the piano plays tracks 1 and 2 which
are the left- and right-hand piano parts. However,
you can temporarily change this so that the piano
plays different tracks. For example, a vibraphone
part on track 5, or a marimba part on track 7 can
be played by the piano.
These assignments remain active throughout the
song. However, when another PianoSoft or
Disklavier GranTouch song is played back, the
piano will play tracks 1 and 2 as normal (L=01
and R=02).
The rhythm track (track 10) can also be played on
the piano. However, since this is a percussion
part, the results are odd, to say the least.

Displaying Ensemble
Voices
When an Ensemble song starts playing back,
MIDI Program Change messages are sent to the
internal XG tone generator. These Program
Change messages tell the tone generator which
voices to select for each ensemble track.
During playback, you can display the voice
assignments of each track and make changes.

To change the voice, press [
