manual abstract
The Disklavier’s MIDI functions are quite flexible, so there are many different connection possibilities. This chapter provides a few examples. Even if your particular application is not among these, you should be able to derive the information required to create your own setup by reading through these setup examples. Note: For the MIDI setups described in this chapter, it is recommended that you connect your MIDI instrument to the MIDI OUT connector and set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI so that the Disklavier functions properly. See “Setting the HOST SELECT Switch” on page 72. Start/Stop Control of a MIDI Instrument with the Disklavier In this setup, song disks are played on the Disklavier and a MIDI drum machine or sequencer plays in synchronization. When [PLAY] is pressed, the MIDI instrument starts to play. It can also be paused and stopped via the Disklavier. In addition, the tempo of the MIDI instrument will change as the tempo of the Disklavier is adjusted. 1 Connect the Disklavier’s MIDI OUT to the MIDI instrument’s MIDI IN connector using a MIDI cable. 2 Set the MIDI instrument to synchronize with the incoming MIDI clock, sometimes called “MIDI SYNC”. Refer to its operating manual for details. 3 Press [FUNC.]. The FUNC. indicator lights and the Function menu appears. 4 Press [>] until the c cursor is next to the MIDI Setup option, then press [ENTER]. The following display appears. 5 Press [>] until the c cursor is next to the Remote option, then press [ENTER]. The following display appears. MIDI IN Disklavier MIDI Drum Machine or Sequencer MIDI OUT MIDI CABLE S 6 7 6 7 Press [+/YES] to set the Remote Out parameter to ON. Press [FUNC.] or [STOP] to exit the MIDI setup. The Disklavier can now be used in the sequencer system. Sending the Keyboard Data to a MIDI Instrument In this setup, as you play the Disklavier, a connected external MIDI tone generator or synthesizer plays as well. This is sometimes referred to as voice layering or unison. A typical combination may be the Disklavier and a strings voice, or the Disklavier and a vibes voice. From the Disklavier, you can select the tone generator’s voice, set its volume, and its transposition. It is also possible to set a split point on the keyboard, so that, for example, your left-hand part is backed by a bass guitar voice and your right- hand part is backed by a marimba. MIDI data from each side of the split point is sent to a different MIDI channel, and the voice, volume, and transposition for each side can be set individually. Note: This setup is not intended for Ensemble song playback. It is intended for manual piano playing with an external tone generator or synthesizer. To send Ensemble song data to an external MIDI instrument, see “Sending Song Data to a MIDI Instrument” on page 60. The following procedure describes how to play MIDI instruments from the Disklavier using a keyboard split point.

A display similar to the following appears. 6 To set a split point, press [>] until the following display appears. Then, with the c cursor next to the Split parameter, use the keyboard or the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select a key. A keyboard split point can be set from A1 to C7. 7 If you want to transpose the MIDI output, press [>] to position the c cursor next to the Trans parameter, then use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set a value. The MIDI output can be transposed from –60 to +60 in one semitone steps. Separate transposition values can be set for the left- and right-hand parts. 8 Press [<] until the following display appears. If you did not set a split point, the subsequent displays will be similar to the following. 9 Press [<] until the c cursor is next to the Out Ch parameter, then use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set a value. The “Out Ch” option is used to select the MIDI channel/s through which the Disklavier will transmit MIDI data. It can be set to OFF, MIDI channels 1 to 16 or HP. Channel Description OFF No data is sent to the MIDI instrument. 1 to 16 The Disklavier keyboard data and pedal data is sent on the selected channel. HP Keyboard data and on/off pedal data will be sent on channel 1, and continuous pedal data (half pedal) will be sent on channel 3. In this case the pedal data will be continuously variable (half pedal). 57 English Chapter 10: The Disklavier & MIDI 10 To ...
