Song Sort
A Disklavier function that allows you to rearrange
the order of songs on a disk.
Split Point
When a keyboard split point is set before
recording, notes played on the left-hand side of
the split point are saved as the left-hand part and
notes played on the right-hand side of the split
point are saved as the right-hand part. This allows
you to play the left- and right-hand parts
simultaneously, but on different tracks.
Standard MIDI File (SMF)
A file of MIDI data that can be read and used by a
number of different MIDI devices and computers.
The Disklavier supports all SMF playback
functions.

connected MIDI device. For example, when
tuning the internal XG tone generator or an
external tone generator, System Exclusive
Messages are sent via MIDI.
TG Master Balance
A function that allows you to balance the volume
levels of the Disklavier and the internal XG tone
generator.
TG Master Tune
The function that allows you to tune the internal
XG tone generator, and if connected, an external

match that of the Disklavier.

back groups of disks at pre-set times.

An electronic device that can generate tones or
instrument voices.
