Receiving Data From A Midi Sequencer - Yamaha DGT7A Advanced Operation Manual

Receiving Data from a
MIDI Sequencer
In this setup, the Disklavier is connected to a
MIDI sequencer for song recording and playback.
In this way you can use a MIDI sequencer's
powerful recording and editing functions for
creating your Disklavier songs. The sequencer can
be a dedicated music sequencer, a MIDI data
recorder, or a MIDI sequencer program running
on a computer.
A 500 millisecond delay is applied to the
incoming MIDI data so that the Disklavier plays
more fluently. Because of the delay, be aware that
the beat indicator on the sequencer is slightly
ahead of the actual sounds being produced. Be
aware of this. To control the Disklavier in real
time, see "Controlling the Disklavier in Real
Time" on page 59.
The Disklavier's Piano Rcv Ch parameter must be
set to match that of the sequencer track that
contains the piano parts. For example, if the piano
part is recorded on sequencer track 7 and track 7
is transmitting on MIDI channel 12, the
Disklavier should be set to receive on MIDI
channel 12. The Piano Rcv Ch parameter has the
following options.
