Basic Playback
The Disklavier can play back piano songs contained in PianoSoft, PianoSoft·Plus,
PianoSoft·PlusAudio, and PianoSoft·PlusGraphics software. Furthermore, audio/MIDI
CDs of other manufacturer’s and standard audio CDs, as well as piano songs that you
recorded in the song library* of the Disklavier can be played back.
* For details on organizing songs with the internal song libraries, see “Song Libraries and Their
Contents” on pg. 9.
Note:
PianoSoft·PlusAudio CDs may not be available in some countries.
Types of Playable Software
PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus floppy disks
When piano songs such as those contained in PianoSoft and
PianoSoft·Plus floppy disks are played back on the Disklavier, the
piano parts are actually played by the Disklavier keyboard, and the
keys move up and down as though they were being played by an invisible performer. The
ensemble parts, (contained in PianoSoft·Plus software), are played by the internal XG
tone generator and are heard from the Monitor speakers**.
PianoSoft·PlusAudio and audio/MIDI CDs of
other manufacturer’s
PianoSoft·PlusAudio songs and other manufacturer’s audio/MIDI songs are recorded
using two channels, an analog MIDI channel for the piano parts and an audio channel
for instrumentals and vocals. When they are played back on the Disklavier, the piano
parts are played by the Disklavier keyboard as with PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus songs,
and all other instrumental and vocal parts are heard from the Monitor speakers** just
like a normal stereo system.
PianoSoft·PlusGraphics software
When piano songs contained in PianoSoft·PlusGraphics software are
played back on the Disklavier, piano parts are actually played by the
Disklavier keyboard, and the ensemble parts are played by the internal XG tone
generator and are heard from the Monitor speakers**. Furthermore, synchronized
pictures and text information are also output from the VIDEO OUT jack on the I/O
Center. To play back a PianoSoft·PlusGraphics song, select the song with in the
song list screen.

SmartPianoSoft disks and CDs
For details, see “Adding Disklavier Accompaniment to Commercial CD
Songs (PianoSmart)“ on pg. 38 in “Advanced Operating Manual“.
Standard audio CDs
Standard audio CDs contain two audio channels (R and L), and are both heard
from the Monitor speakers** just like a normal stereo system. In other words, the
Disklavier can be used to play CDs in place of a stereo system.
**Only for models supplied with the Monitor speakers.
Song Libraries and Their Contents
Songs contained in software floppy disks/CDs, or those you have recorded on the
Disklavier, purchased from DisklavierMusicStore, or copied from a personal computer
can be copied into the internal song library (named [PianoSoft Library], [User Library],
[CD Library], [Download Library], and [From/To PC]) eliminating the trouble of changing

Basic Piano Playing
The Disklavier is a versatile instrument offering various functions that integrate
innovative technologies, but let’s start with the most basic use of the piano: playing the
keyboard.
Playing the Acoustic Piano (Acoustic Mode)
Play the keyboard as you would play any acoustic piano. You do not need to “turn the
Disklavier on.”
Playing the Digital Piano (Quiet Mode)
Put the Disklavier in Quiet Mode when you want to play the keyboard more quietly or
more privately than on the acoustic piano. When Quiet Mode is activated, you are
essentially playing the digital piano. Since the played sound is heard from the Monitor
speakers*, you can adjust the volume to your preference.
Turn the Disklavier on. (
