Basic Playback; Playing Back A Song - Yamaha Disklavier Operation Manual

Chapter 6

Basic Playback

You can play back PianoSoft and PianoSoft . Plus song disks on your Disklavier, as well as custom
recordings stored on floppy disks using other recordable Disklavier pianos. You can also play back songs
you store on the Memory Disks.
☛ See Chapter 12 "Storing & Managing Songs on Disks" for information on how to store songs in the Memory
Disks for playback.
The Disklavier plays the piano parts, actually moving the keys up and down as if they were being played
by a performer. When song data contains Ensemble parts in addition to piano parts, those parts are played
by the internal XG tone generator and output from the built-in speakers.
Follow the procedure below to play back a song. If you are using the Disklavier for the first time, you
can use the enclosed sample floppy disk or Memory Disk 0 as they contain a short sample song.

Playing Back a Song

When you want to play back songs, you need to
first specify which disk you want to play back, as
the Disklavier has a total of 17 disks (1 floppy
disk and 16 Memory Disks).
1
Press [DRIVE] and specify the disk
for playback.
DRIVE
Each press of the [DRIVE] button toggles
the floppy disk and Memory Disks (0 to 9
and A to F).
Note: When you insert a floppy disk into the
floppy disk drive, the letters "Fd"
automatically appear on the left side of
the display.
Note: "Fd" appears only when a floppy disk
is inserted in the disk drive.
The title of the disk scrolls across the
display, and the number and title of the first
song appear.
When you specify a Memory Disk, the disk
number or letter also flashes in the bottom
row of the display.
Note: "x" indicates Memory Disks that are
unformatted or contain no songs.
Pressing [STOP] will stop the disk title
scrolling and display the number and title
of the first song.
Note: The disk drive may occasionally
produce a sound when the disk begins
to spin. This is the normal sound of the
disk drive starting to read or write to
the disk; it does not indicate that there
is anything wrong with the disk or disk
drive.
