Chapter 1 Introduction
Welcome to the Disklavier Pro™!
See also (A) page 1
Thank you for purchasing the Disklavier Pro!
The Disklavier Pro is the flagship of Yamaha's highly acclaimed series of Disklavier pianos which incorporates newly developed technologies that enable dynamic, high-precision recording and playback of an unprecedented level. Combining innovative high-performance technology with the renowned Yamaha acoustic grand piano, you can be assured of the ultimate reproduction of even the most intricate and demanding performance.
Faithful playback using servo control technology
The heart of the Disklavier Pro's high-performance capability lies in Yamaha's exclusive servo control system which uses a combination of high-power solenoids and ultra-sensitive sensors. Precision control of this advanced system is realized by a new, exclusively developed processing unit consisting of eight LSIs. The result is accurate playback of the widest dynamic range ever, from the faintest planissimo to the strongest fortissimo. Even the playback of silent notes used to add harmonics to other notes is possible, giving the Disklavier Pro the ability to play back virtually any performance exactly the way it is played.
True-to-original recording
High-precision recording is realized by a unique dual sensing system where newly developed optical sensors monitor every movement of the keys along with the speed of each hammer stroke. In Enhanced mode, key sensors not only read how softly or firmly a key is pressed, but also the dampening speed of the notes when the key is released, thus making it possible to precisely reproduce light staccatos and smooth legatos. Even songs in which release speed is not recorded can be played back at a natural speed. Moreover, with the Disklavier Pro's extended MIDI data format (XP mode), optical sensors monitor key movement and assign MIDI control parameters to the data, enabling the Disklavier Pro to record and play back even the finest differences in keyboard touch from delicate half key strokes to deep, fully-pressed strokes.
The Disklavier Pro's impressive recording and playback capability ensures perfect capture of all the subleties of a pianist's performance.
High-precision pedal drive
The pedals are also controlled using optical sensors and digital servo technology with a special dedicated 32-bit processor, enabling fine processing of even the smallest pedal movement.
Built-in calibration system
To maintain optimum playback and recording conditions, the Disklavier Pro has a versatile calibration system which fully supports servo technology to calibrate the solenoids and sensors from every checkpoint. This ensures standardization of recorded data and compensates for any unevenness throughout the 88 keys to guarantee ultimate performance every time.

Grand Silent System
Yamaha's unique Grand Silent System lets you enjoy the rich sound of a grand piano in total privacy using headphones. A touch of the Silent button disables the hammers from striking the strings, completely silencing the Disklavier Pro. By using an amazing 30 Mbytes of memory, Yamaha painstakingly reproduced every dynamic aspect of a grand piano for use in the Grand Silent System's digital tone generator. Yamaha's own special action mechanism and dual sensors accurately respond to the player's touch for a remarkably realistic digital reproduction. The Silent System also offers the perfect solution to multi-track recording, allowing you to record orchestral tracks from the Disklavier Pro keyboard, via the internal instrumental tone generator, without hearing the sound of the piano.

Disklavier Pro Owner's Manuals ____
See also (A) page 2
The Disklavier Pro is supplied with four owner's manuals:
Disklavier Pro Manual
This manual introduces features exclusive to the Disklavier Pro Series. It also describes the differences from the standard Mark II XG Series, so be sure to read this manual before reading the Disklavier Mark II XG Series manuals (A) and (B).
Disklavier Mark II XG Series manuals (A) & (B)
These manuals, originally prepared for the Disklavier Mark II XG Series, are also used for the Pro Series as the Control Unit and its operations are basically the same. However, when reading manuals (A) and (B) as a Pro user, be sure to refer to the Pro Manual to operate your Disklavier Pro piano properly.
Getting Started & Playback Manual (A)
This manual introduces features and functions of standard Disklavier models, mainly how to play back songs. Playback capability include basic functions such as song select, volume adjustment, and tempo change, along with other features such as repeat playback, playback using the metronome and pedals, and advanced Ensemble song playback.
Advanced Operation Manual (B)
This manual explains how to record your own songs, and use the various disk and song file utilities such as song copy and delete. It also shows how the Disklavier can be used in a MIDI system with a MIDI tone generator or MIDI sequencer, or connected to a computer. Chapters on troubleshooting and a glossary of Disklavier terminology are also provided. At the very end of the manual, you will find a supplement on MIDI Data Format information in English. (This supplement is provided common to all three language sections.)
Silent Operation Manual
This manual describes the Silent operation which is common to any Disklavier piano with a built-in Silent system, including functions such as adjusting the volume, applying reverb to the digital piano sound, and cancelling the key action in Silent mode.
Note: Items that should be read in conjunction with relevant sections in the other two manuals are indicated in this manual as follows: e.g., See also (A) page 1. (A) refers to the Getting Started & Playback Manual ; (B) refers to the Advanced Operation Manual .
Disklavier Pro Terminology _
See also (A) pages 3 & 4
Enhanced mode
The Disklavier Pro is in Enhanced mode by default. In addition to standard note and pedal data, it records and plays back such detailed aspects of a piano performance as "silent notes" and key release speed.
Songs recorded in this mode are compatible with most MIDI instruments.
Silent note
A note that is silently held down for the purpose of adding harmonics to other notes.
XP data
XP data is the group of MIDI messages (extended data) added to the standard MIDI Disklavier performance data. It contains information regarding all the subtle nuances of a pianist's performance, including key speed, depth, and touch, as well as additional information for enhancing data processing. Yamaha XP takes advantage of general-purpose controller numbers in the existing MIDI format to record this extended data, while retaining full MIDI compatibility.
XP song
An XP song is one which contains XP data and XP-On exclusive messages for enabling XP mode and activating XP data within the Disklavier Pro.
An XP song is played back in XP mode, which is uniquely supported by the Disklavier Pro. However, it is compatible with standard Disklavier models and general MIDI instruments as well, since it is essentially composed of MIDI data. However, XP songs have twice as much data as standard MIDI songs.
XP mode
Disklavier Pro's high-precision recording and playback capabilities can be fully enjoyed in Enhanced mode (default), but it can be switched to XP mode for higher precision recording.

Chapter 2 Changes to the Mark II XG Series Manuals (A) & (B)
The Disklavier Pro utilizes the same Control Unit as the Mark II XG Series, so operational procedures are essentially the same, except for a few features described in this section. Please keep these differences in mind when reading manuals (A) and (B).
Control Unit _____
Changes to (A) Chapter 2 "Names of Parts and Their Functions"
The functions of the buttons and parts of the Control Unit and remote control are essentially the same as the standard Mark II XG Series (excluding the OUTPUT R, L/MONO connectors on the rear panel of the Control Unit). See also the Silent Operation Manual for more details.
Front Panel
Rear Panel
with the Disklavier Pro, OUTPUT R, L/MONO connectors have been replaced with AUX OUT, IN connectors (④, ⑤) on the Silent Control Box, as shown below.
Silent Control Box ____
Addition to (A) Chapter 2 " Names of Parts and Their Functions"
The Disklavier Pro is equipped with a Silent Control Box shown below. See the Silent Operation Manual for a functional description of each control.
Mains Switch & Foot Controller
Changes to (A) page 10
The MAINS switch and Foot Controller connector are located as shown in the following illustration. Their functions are the same as those of the standard Disklavier.
Press the [STANDBY - ON] button on the front panel of the Control Unit.
Turn your sound system on if you will be playing back Ensemble songs.
Your Disklavier Pro is now ready for use.
Power Off Procedure

Changes to (A) Chapter 6 "Song Number Indicator and Display"
In the song title display, brackets around the time display portion indicate that the Disklavier is in XP mode. Brackets indicating XP Mode
On/off pedal and continuous pedal indications represented by angle brackets and parentheses, respectively, are not displayed for XP songs.
Parentheses indicating continuous pedal data (half pedal)
Changing the Default Song Tempo _
Addition to (B) page 11
When changing a song's default tempo, tempo ranges are as follows.
| Range | Default | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Measures and beat | S | ||
| SMF | 30 - 400 | 117 | |
| E-SEQ | 30 – 280 | 117 | |
| Minutes and secon | ds | official states | |
| SMF | -0.75% - +242% | +000% | |
| E-SEQ | -0.75% - +140% | +000% | |
Chapter 3 Enhanced Mode and XP Mode
In Enhanced mode, all aspects of a piano peformance, such as key release speed and silent notes that are necessary for high-fidelity playback and recording, are predicted from MIDI messages and reproduced by the Disklavier Pro, thereby enhancing musicality of even songs that were recorded with Disklavier pianos other than the Disklavier Pro.
Disklavier Pro's high-precision recording and playback capabilities can be fully enjoyed in Enhanced mode. XP mode, however, supports additional information including even the subtlest keyboard touch and enhanced data processing, for increased precision. And, as XP songs are essentially composed of MIDI messages, they are compatible with conventional Disklavier models. They can be played back on all Disklavier models without any problem.
Note: The additional information supported in XP mode will naturally cause XP song data to be larger than songs recorded in Enhanced mode.
Keyboard Touch Data
The Disklavier Pro records keyboard touch data to control silent notes and the decay of sound in Silent mode. Technically, the Disklavier Pro sends and receives keyboard touch data in the form of polyphonic aftertouch data. Key position and other such information are sent and received as independent polyphonic aftertouch data, instead of as continuous output data based on key pressure applied after the keys are played.
Note: Polyphonic aftertouch is not recorded when recording E-SEQ songs in Enhanced mode.
Note: Silent notes cannot be reproduced with digital tone generators.
Changing Modes
The Disklavier Pro is in Enhanced mode by default, allowing you to handle song data in standard MIDI format for compatibility with other MIDI instruments. You can also switch it to XP mode to enable the Disklavier Pro to record XP songs.
As XP data supplements standard MIDI data, when XP songs are edited, Note On/Off information and timerelated factors of XP data may be slightly altered in a way that deprives the song of its extended XP data. If you plan to later edit song data, you should record them in Enhanced mode. Highly accurate recording can be performed even in Enhanced mode.
When playing back songs, XP mode is automatically set to on or off according to the "XP System On" and "XP Ch Set" messages that had been input when the song was recorded.
Press the [FUNC.] button or the [STOP] button to exit the MIDI setup.
Stripping XP Data _____
You can strip a song of its XP data and leave only the standard data of notes and pedals when, for example, you want to reduce MIDI data size or when you want to revert the song to standard MIDI format for general purpose.
XP data is also lost in the following instances:
- When you convert a disk to Piano 1 type disk. See "Converting Disk Type" on (B) page 64.
- When you move a piano part to an ensemble track or vice versa. See (B) Chapter 5, "Editing Tracks".
Resetting Your Disklavier Pro
See also (B) Chapter 10 "Resetting Your Disklavier"
When you reset your Disklavier Pro, XP mode settings also return to their initial factory settings as shown below.
