Import File
Songs recorded onto floppy disks using MIDI
equipment other than the Disklavier and played
back by the Disklavier.
Incremental Pedal
Piano pedals are not always completely up or
down, and may be held somewhere in-between.
Using incremental pedal data (also called
continuous or half pedal data), the Disklavier
precisely reproduces the up and down movement
of the piano pedals.
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display. The Control Unit has an
LCD that shows 2 large characters and 2 lines of
24 small characters. For clarity in the Disklavier
manuals, the LCD is referred to as the "display".
LED
Light Emitting Diode. The Control Unit's front
panel indicators are LEDs.
L/R Song
In a L/R song, the left-hand piano part is stored on
track 1 (L) and the right-hand piano part is stored
on track 2 (R). During playback you can cancel
either part, and then play that part yourself.
Memory Disk
The Disklavier has 16 internal Memory Disks that
allow you to store song data without a floppy
disk. Each Memory Disk has a memory capacity
of 1MB.
Metronome
A built-in device designed to mark exact time by a
regularly repeated click and flashing LED.
MIDI
An acronym for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface. MIDI allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other.
Piano Parts

Polyphony
The maximum number of voices (or sounds) that
can be produced at a time from MIDI instruments.
Program Change Message
A type of MIDI message that is used for selecting
programs or voices. When an Ensemble song
starts playing, Program Change messages are sent
to the tone generator to select the correct
instrument voices for each ensemble track.
Quiet Mode

playback)
A Silent system mode in which sound is output
through the speakers, enabling you to freely adjust
the volume of the piano.
Reverb

Short for "reverberation." The effect that adds a
more realistic feel to a sound by simulating the
reflection of the sound in rooms and halls of
various sizes.
Rhythm Track

accompanying rhythm. The rhythm track is
unaffected by the playback transposition
function.
