Chapter

The Disklavier can play back the MIDI data being received from the
connected MIDI device as well as the software loaded or stored in the
Disklavier control unit itself. The following options should be set up in
advance.
Note:
If you set the connection type setting
to “Add”, the MIDI IN Port setting
is fixed to “USB.” Note that you
cannot use the MIDI IN terminal as
MIDI IN Port.
MIDI IN Port
Selects the terminal/port used for the data reception.
MIDI: Select this when the MIDI device is connected to the MIDI IN
terminal.
USB: Select this when the MIDI device is connected to the USB port.
Piano Rcv Ch
The MIDI data consists of multi channels that are respectively assigned to
a certain instrument’s part. This option assigns the desired channel(s) to
the piano part(s) that is (are) played back on the Disklavier’s keyboard.
01 thru 16 : Select the desired channel to which you assign the piano part.
1+2: Select this when the “01” and “02” channels are assigned to the
piano parts.
Prg: Select the smallest number channel assigned to the piano
group voice (see page 142) to be played on the Disklavier.
Prg(All): Select all channels assigned to the piano group voice (see
page 142) to be played on the Disklavier.
MIDI IN Delay
When the Disklavier control unit receives two kinds of data (strong and
weak note) at the same time, the weak note sounds a little bit later than the
strong one due to the characteristics of the mechanism of the Disklavier
control unit. To eliminate this delay in the sound reproduction and the
notes are sounded in accurate timing at 500 millisecond after the data
reception, usually a delay is applied to the incoming MIDI data.
ON: Select this when you apply this delay to the incoming MIDI
data.
OFF: Select this when you do not apply this delay.
