Important

Read the following before operating the Disklavier GranTouch.

Warnings

• Do not locate the Disklavier GranTouch in a place subject to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish and internal parts.

• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electric shock.

• Connect the plug on the Disklavier GranTouch power cable to a compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will present a fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug is not compatible with your AC outlet, consult your dealer.

• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and lead to fire and electric shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some devices.

•Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. A damaged power cable is a potential fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet, make sure heavy objects, including the Disklavier GranTouch, are not placed on top of the cable.

• If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the Disklavier GranTouch in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.

•When disconnecting the power cable from an AC outlet, always pull from the plug. Never pull the cable. Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and electric shock hazard.

• The cover of the unit should be removed only by qualified service technicians.

• Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines, etc., on top of the Disklavier GranTouch.

• Do not block the ventilation holes in the Disklavier GranTouch. The Disklavier GranTouch has ventilation holes underneath to

prevent the internal temperature from rising. Blocking ventilation holes are a fire hazard.

• Do not try to modify the Disklavier GranTouch, as this could lead to fire or electric shock hazard.

•When moving the Disklavier GranTouch to another location, turn off the power, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and remove all cables connected to external devices.

Cautions

•Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the Disklavier GranTouch. Refer to the user’s guide for each device. Use the correct cables and connect as specified.

• Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum before applying power.

• Do not play the Disklavier GranTouch at a high volume for extended periods; you may damage your hearing. This is especially important when using headphones. If you think your hearing ability is impaired, consult your doctor.

• If the Disklavier GranTouch is worked extremely hard — that is, prolonged playback of very “busy” songs — the Disklavier GranTouch’s thermal relay may trip. The thermal relay will automatically reset when the Disklavier GranTouch has cooled down.

• If you notice any abnormality — such as smoke, odor, or noise — turn off the Disklavier GranTouch immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair.

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the Disklavier GranTouch turn it off immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.

• If you plan not to use the Disklavier GranTouch for a long period of time (such as when you are on vacation), disconnect the electrical mains.

English

Page 10

•Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the Disklavier GranTouch. Leaving the power plug connected presents a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the Disklavier GranTouch.

• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of the Disklavier GranTouch. The color and finish of the piano can be damaged.

• Do not place heavy objects on the Disklavier GranTouch. Doing so can damage the piano.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Disklavier GranTouch. However, if you discover a stain, carefully use a soft damp cloth to remove it.

Interference

•The Disklavier GranTouch uses highfrequency digital circuits that may cause interference to radios and TVs placed close to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected equipment.

Handling Batteries

The remote control of this unit is powered by dry batteries. Improper use or misuse of the dry batteries can cause the dry batteries to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to equipment and/or nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Read through and familiarize yourself with the following safety precautions prior to use to ensure correct usage.

• Do not directly touch the chemicals (electrolyte) which have leaked from dry batteries.

1. If electrolyte from dry batteries has made

contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes thoroughly with clean water and seek medical treatment from a physician immediately.

2. If electrolyte from dry batteries has touched your skin or clothing, rinse it off immediately with clean water.

3. If electrolyte from dry batteries has found its way inside your mouth, gargle immediately and consult a physician.

•Do not install the dry batteries with the “+” and “–” poles reversed. Misaligning the poles of dry batteries can lead the dry batteries to be charged or shorted or it can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.

•Use only the designated batteries. Do not use used batteries with unused batteries or different types of batteries together. This can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Replace all the dry batteries at the same time. Do not use new and old dry batteries together. Do not use different types of batteries (alkaline and manganese batteries, batteries made by different manufacturers or different battery products made by the same manufacturer) together: this can cause them to heat up, ingite or leak electrolyte.

• When the battery-powered unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the dry batteries from the unit. Otherwise the batteries will run down and their electrolyte may leak, resulting in damage to the unit.

• Remove spent batteries immediately from equipment. Otherwise, batteries will overdischarge, causing them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.

•Dispose of batteries in accordance with the applicable regulations and ordinances.

Please keep this manual for future reference.

Basic Disklavier GranTouch Terminology

The following is a list of several basic Disklavier GranTouch words that you may need to know before proceeding with operational procedures in this manual. For additional Disklavier GranTouch terminology, see the glossary provided in Chapter 15 in the Advanced Operation Manual.

Disk

“Disk” is used as a generic term to refer to floppy disks, internal Memory Disks, and CDs.

Ensemble Song

An Ensemble song contains the same left and right-hand parts as an L/R song, and extra tracks that are played by the internal XG tone generator. Accompanying tracks can include acoustic bass, drums, strings, vibes, etc.

Floppy Disk

The magnetic storage medium that the Disklavier GranTouch uses for song playback. The Disklavier GranTouch uses 3.5 inch 2DD and 2HD floppy disks. PianoSoft and PianoSoft.Plus are song disks specially for use with the Disklavier Series.

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 practice that part yourself. When recording an L/R song, you can record the two parts simultaneously or separately.

Memory Disk

The Disklavier GranTouch has a total of 16 Mbytes of internal flash memory named Memory Disks that allow you to store song data without a floppy disk.

songs for listening enjoyment, piano study disks for the piano student, and accompaniment disks for vocal and instrumental practice. PianoSoft is sometimes used as a generic term for PianoSoft and PianoSoft

PianoSoft.Plus disks contain prerecorded Ensemble songs featuring instrumental accompaniment that can be played back on the Disklavier GranTouch and Disklavier Series pianos. See your Disklavier GranTouch dealer for a PianoSoft catalog.

CD software made by Yamaha containing audio and MIDI signals for playing back on the Disklavier GranTouch and Disklavier Series pianos.

Plus.

Song

A “song” usually means a short piece of music with lyrics. However, in the Disklavier GranTouch manuals the term “song” is used to refer to any piece of music.

Tone Generator

An electronic device that generates instrument voices. The Disklavier GranTouch has an internal XG tone generator that can produce nearly 700 instrumental and percussion voices.

English Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Disklavier GranTouch

MIDI

An acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other.

The PianoSoft Disk Collection is a library of prerecorded song disks made by Yamaha for use with the Disklavier Series pianos and the Disklavier GranTouch. Many titles are available, and among the many musical styles included are classical, jazz, and popular. The disk includes

Voice

The sounds produced by a tone generator expressing various instruments.

Yamaha XG is an extension of the GM (General MIDI) format. With greater polyphony, more voice, and effects, it improves song compatibility between MIDI devices. When a song in the Yamaha XG format is played on another XG compatible tone generator or synthesizer, it will play and sound as the original composer/creator intended.

Chapter 3 Disks Used with the Disklavier GranTouch

Three types of disks are used with the Disklavier GranTouch: floppy disks, CDs, and internal Memory Disks.

Floppy Disks

Besides PianoSoft and PianoSoft.Plus song disks, the Disklavier GranTouch can play back songs stored on 3.5-inch MS-DOS 720 Kbyte format 2DD floppy disks and MS-DOS 1.44 Mbyte format 2HD floppy disks.

Handling Floppy Disks

Be careful of the following when handling floppy disks.

•Do not touch the surface of a disk.

• Do not store or place disks near a television, radio, loudspeaker, or any other device that generates a magnetic field.

• Do not expose disks to extreme temperature or humidity. The working temperature range for disks is between 4˚C and 52˚C (40˚F to 125˚F).

Accidental Erasure Protection

Floppy disks have an erasure protection tab which can be set so that the Disklavier GranTouch cannot record new data onto the disk. This is useful for protecting valuable song data against accidental erasure and disk formatting. The protection tab is located on the reverse side of the disk in the bottom right-hand corner.

Protected

When the tab window is open, data is protected.

Unprotected

• Do not use disks in a dusty, dirty or smoky environment.

• Remove the disk before you turn off the Disklavier.

When the tab window is closed, data is not protected.

Balancing the Ensemble Volume (TG Master Balance)

When playing back Ensemble songs, it is useful to be able to balance the volume levels of the digital piano and Ensemble voices. In other words, the volume of the XG tone generator should not be too loud or too quiet compared to the Disklavier GranTouch digital piano.

TG Master balance can adjust the volume from 0 to 127 and OFF. (0: mutes the sound of the internal XG tone generator; OFF: does not link with the internal XG tone generator.) This setting is shown in the display on the right of the bar graph.

Adjust the level so that the Ensemble voices played by the internal XG tone generator are balanced with the volume of the digital piano.

Normally, piano parts are played back by the piano. You can, however, change this so that the piano parts are also played by the internal XG tone generator or a MIDI instrument connected to the MIDI OUT connector.

You can use this to double up the Disklavier GranTouch piano parts with a different voice, say strings or vibes. This technique is sometimes referred to as voice layering or unison.

Displaying Ensemble

Selecting Tracks for the

Voices

When an Ensemble song starts playing back, MIDI Program Change messages are sent to the internal XG tone generator. These Program Change messages tell the tone generator which voices to select for each ensemble track.

During playback, you can display the voice assignments of each track and make changes.

Play back an Ensemble song, and press [>] until the following display appears.

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the track whose voice you want to display.

–/NO +/YES

Piano Parts

Normally, the piano plays tracks 1 and 2 which are the left- and right-hand piano parts. However, you can temporarily change this so that the piano plays different tracks. For example, a vibraphone part on track 5, or a marimba part on track 7 can be played by the piano.

These assignments remain active throughout the song. However, when another PianoSoft or Disklavier GranTouch song is played back, the piano will play tracks 1 and 2 as normal (L=01 and R=02).

The rhythm track (track 10) can also be played on the piano. However, since this is a percussion part, the results are odd, to say the least.

Play back an Ensemble song, then press [>].

A display similar to the following appears.

Chapter 14

Using the SmartKey

The SmartKey feature of your Disklavier GranTouch is a unique application of Yamaha’s patented “Guide” system technology. Used in conjunction with special SmartKey functions can be used to teach non-players simple melodies without written music. Alternatively, more advanced players can make use of SmartKey compatible CueTIME that allows them to perform at any tempo they like. In addition, SmartKey can also be used to expand the capabilities of Disk Orchestra

Note: SmartKey software and other SmartKey compatible software described above may not be available in some

countries.

software, the SmartKey

disks that offer prerecorded music

English Chapter 14: Using the SmartKey

SmartKeyTM Software

Special SmartKey software disks use all the “SmartKey” features to create an exciting way in which non-players can learn to play simple melodies, one note at a time, without the need for written music. SmartKey software does this by partially depressing the piano key to signal which note should be played. The Disklavier GranTouch then waits for you to press this key before it continues to the next note in the melody. (If you miss the movement of the key, the Disklavier GranTouch will repeat the movement until you press the key.) When you press the correct key, the Disklavier GranTouch will reward you with ear tickling phrases, incredible harmonies, and lush arpeggios to give you the aural and visual image of a complete high-quality performance. In short, it SHOWS you which key to play, WAITS for you to play that key before it continues, and REWARDS you with music. It’s like having an eternally patient music teacher showing your fingers which notes to play.

Feature

Using a SmartKey Disk

SmartKey software uses three special functions that together make up SmartKey technology. Specifically, this software turns on the “Guide”, “Key Prompt” and “Prompt Repeat” functions automatically, making the use of this software very easy.

Playing a song from the built-in SmartKey demo piece

The Memory Disk on your Disklavier GranTouch includes two pieces, one entitled “OPENING,” and the other entitled “SmartKey Demo.” The demo is actually an abbreviated sample of a song entitled “Aura Lee.”

Note: If the SmartKey demo is NOT on your

Memory Disk, you can reset your Disklavier

GranTouch to recall this piece. See Chapter 12

“Resetting Your Disklavier GranTouch” in the

Advanced Operation Manual for more

information.

Page 66

Press the [SONG SELECT ] buttons to select “SmartKey Demo.”

SONG SELECT/REV • FWD

Press [PLAY/PAUSE].

Watch the piano keyboard for the first key prompt and play that key.

Key prompt

(Key moves slightly)

The first key prompt is “C4” (one octave above middle “C”.) When you see the key move, play that key. The next prompt is “F4.” Play that key. Continue until the song is finished. Notice that the Disklavier GranTouch patiently waits for you to play the right key before proceeding to the next key. Also, notice that if you happen to miss the cue, it will gently remind you what the key is every few seconds until you play the right key.

Key notation

Playing a song from a SmartKey disk

Additional, more complete arrangements like the built-in SmartKey demo are available on floppy disks, called SmartKey disks. (See your local Yamaha dealer for more information on these types of disks.)

Insert the SmartKey disk into the disk drive of the Disklavier GranTouch.

Press the [SONG SELECT ] buttons to specify the song you wish to play.

Note that the “R” (right-hand) PART indicator turns orange, indicating that the “Guide” function has been automatically activated. The “Guide” function is the feature that actually makes the Disklavier GranTouch stop and wait at particular points in a song.

Press [PLAY/PAUSE].

Watch the piano keyboard for the first key prompt.

As a reference, “C3” is middle “C,” which means “C4” is an octave above middle “C” and so on.

When you see the key prompt, play that key. Continue playing the key prompts until the song is finished.

Page 67

CueTIME

SmartKey compatible CueTIME software also uses the SmartKey features of your Disklavier GranTouch. CueTIME software consists of a disk and a music book, that contain beautifully arranged piano pieces and fully orchestrated background accompaniments on disk. Simply play the traditional piano piece as written at any speed or tempo on the piano keyboard and the accompanying prerecorded accompaniment on disk will follow you, allowing complete tempo expression. If you miss a “cue note,” the Disklavier GranTouch gently reminds you which note was the “cue” by way of a gentle, silent, repeating key prompt. Alternatively, the key prompt repeat can be turned off altogether (see below), since cues are always shown discreetly in the display. With CueTIME software, it’s like conducting a virtual orchestra with your fingertips.

In summary, you don’t have to follow the disk. On the Disklavier GranTouch, with the SmartKey feature and CueTIME software, the disk follows you!

Software

Using a CueTIME Disk

Make sure that the CueTIME disks are labeled “SmartKey compatible.” These disks turn on the appropriate “Guide” and “Prompt Repeat” functions automatically, making use of these disks very easy.

Playing a song from a CueTIME disk

Insert the CueTIME disk into the disk drive of the Disklavier GranTouch.

Press the [SONG SELECT ] buttons to specify the song you wish to play.

Note that the “R” (right hand) PART indicator turns orange, indicating that the “Guide” function has been automatically activated.

Press [PLAY/PAUSE] and play the piece as written in the music.

In the course of playing the song, you will play the “cue keys” which are shaded in the music. The Disklavier GranTouch will wait until you play the first cue note key, which may not occur until the middle of the song. If you miss a “cue key”, the Disklavier GranTouch will gently remind you which note you missed by repeating the moving key prompt. All cues are also shown in the upper right hand corner of the display when using the “Guide” function. (See “Key notation” on page 54 for a visual reference on cues and their corresponding keys.)

Tur ning off the “Prompt Repeat” option for CueTIME disks

If you find the repeating key prompts distracting when performing your piece from the written music, you can turn off the “Prompt Repeat” function. The display always shows the next cue note if you happen to miss one in performing your piece. With the disk already in the disk drive and a song already selected:

Press [FUNC.].

Press [>] to move the c cursor to the SmartKey option, then press [ENTER].

Press [>] to move the c cursor to the Prompt Repeat option.

Guide Control

For other types of software not labeled “SmartKey compatible,” you may be able to use special SmartKey functions such as the “Guide” function included in your Disklavier GranTouch. The “Guide” function allows you to practice at your own pace when used with some disk software. With this feature, the Disklavier GranTouch pauses playback of the accompaniment until you play the same notes that have been recorded on the guide track. Either the “R” track (right-hand) or the “L” track (left-hand) can be guided, either individually or simultaneously.

Both SmartKey and CueTIME disks turn this “Guide” function on automatically. (To use these disks, see “Using a SmartKey Disk” on page 52 and “Using a CueTime Disk” on page 54.) This feature does not turn on automatically, so if you want to use this feature with other disks (such as “Disk Orchestra Collection” and “You Are The Artist” disks), you will have to turn it on manually as follows.

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select OFF.

Press [FUNC.].

If you play the CueTIME disk now, no keys will move to indicate “cue keys.” The only way to know which key the Disklavier GranTouch is waiting for is to look in the upper right hand corner of the display. (See “Key notation” on page 54 for a visual reference on cues and their corresponding keys.)

Cue key

Using the Guide Function with “Disk Orchestra Collection” Disks and “You Are The Artist” Disks

Insert the disk into the disk drive of the Disklavier GranTouch.

Press the [SONG SELECT ] buttons to specify the song you wish to play, and open the music book to the same song.

Page 69

While holding the [ENTER] button, press either the “L” or “R” [PART] buttons to activate the “Guide” function for that part (note that the orange indicator lights).

After performing this operation, the PART indicator show three conditions:

State Indicator

Play Steady green Part Cancel Blinking green Guide Part Orange

Press [PLAY/PAUSE] button and play the music as written.

Key Prompt

“Key Prompt” is the partial movement of a key that doesn’t create any sound. “Key Prompt” is very useful for a visual indication of guided notes when using the “Guide” function. The “Key Prompt” is used to signal which keys you should play in order to teach you simple melodies. “Key Prompt” is turned on automatically whenever the “Guide”’ mode is engaged and “Key Prompt”’ function is set to AUTO (default).

Note: “SmartKey compatible” CueTIME disks

automatically turn this feature off, so as to not interfere with your live piano performance. CueTIME relies solely on “Prompt Repeat” for visual cues. See “Prompt Repeat Function” on page 58 for more information.

If you prefer to turn off key prompts for guided notes and use the screen prompt exclusively, you need to turn this feature off manually as follows.

English Chapter 14: Using the SmartKey

The Disklavier GranTouch will now pause at each note you miss in the track that you have chosen to guide. For the guide note, the orange indicator flashes, and the display shows the note number. If you play with perfect timing and do not miss any notes, the Disklavier GranTouch will not pause.

Note: When a chord is supposed to be played,

only one of the guide notes is displayed on the screen. When any of the notes of the chord is played, the Disklavier GranTouch continues play to the next guide note.

Note: Guide parts cannot be changed during

playback. Guide settings can only be changed during pause or stop.

Tur ning off the “Key Prompt” option

Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select OFF.

Press [FUNC.].

Press [PLAY/PAUSE] button and play the song.

If you miss a note on the guided track, the display still shows a visual cue of the note you missed.

Prompt Repeat Function

The “Prompt Repeat” function is a repeating reminder of the “Key Prompt” that is generated when the “Guide” mode is on. This is helpful if you happen to miss the original “Key Prompt” The “Prompt Repeat” function will repeat until that key is played (see note). “Prompt Repeat” is turned on automatically whenever the “Guide” mode is engaged and “Prompt Repeat” function is set to AUTO (default).

Note: The “Prompt Repeat” function repeats

prompting the same key for about five minutes. If the cue key is not played during that time, “Prompt Repeat” is automatically turned off, leaving the cue key shown in the display only. To turn on “Prompt Repeat” again, simply play the cue key.

If you would prefer to turn off “Prompt Repeat” for guided notes and use the screen prompt exclusively, you will have to turn this feature “off” manually as follows.

Tur ning off the “Prompt Repeat” option

With the disk already in the disk drive and a song already selected:

Press [PLAY/PAUSE] and play the song.

If you miss a note on the guided track, the display still shows a visual cue of the note you missed.

Playback Considerations

Whenever the “Guide” mode is activated (orange indicator is illuminated for a [PART] button), “Chain Play” and “Timer Play” are deactivated. In other words, at the end of a piece, the Disklavier GranTouch simply stops playing, and does not proceed automatically to the next song. This allows you to practice a song repeatedly, or to select another song for performance. Since the SmartKey demo includes an automatic activation of the “Guide” mode, “Chain Play” and “Timer Play” are disabled on your Memory Disk. You may choose to delete the SmartKey demo in order to allow for “Chain Play” and “Timer Play” capabilities.

Operation Manual.
