■ Muting the Sound
Note:
Streaming broadcasts continue
during muting. Therefore, the song
broadcasted when releasing muting
may differ from the one when
muting.
Press [PAUSE] or [STOP].
“MUTE” appears on the upper right of the screen.
Press [PAUSE] or [STOP] again to release muting.
Note:
This setting does not affect manual
playing.
You can adjust volume with the control unit or with the remote control as
described below. Since all piano songs are recorded at the maximum
volume level of 0, volume can be decreased down to –10, the softest
volume at which the piano can play.
See Chapter 4 “Advanced Song
Playback – Adjusting the Volume
Balance among the Keyboard
Playing, Ensemble Sound, and
Software Playback” on page 35.
For ensemble songs, the volume of the piano and internal XG tone
generator are adjusted simultaneously, so it is a good idea to first balance
the volume of the piano and XG tone generator.
For songs on PianoSoft·PlusAudio, you should first balance the volume of
the MIDI piano and audio parts.
Press [VOLUME +] or [VOLUME –] on the remote control.
The main volume setting screen appears.
Note:
You can also use the dial on the
control unit to adjust the volume.
Press [VOLUME +] or [VOLUME –] to adjust the volume.
Note:
When the volume is set to –10, there
may be a slight delay in sound
production following key strokes,
and the Disklavier may skip some
notes. Furthermore, at this volume
setting, touch strength does not
affect note dynamics.
Volume can be adjusted in a range of –10 to 0.
