from the keyboard (when the user selects such a voice by pressing the voice button on the controller).
Main features are as follows.
• 128 basic voices + 9 drums ← Keyboard plays various voices selected by voice button.
• The DSR1, MPX70, MX1Z, MPX1Z, and MarkIII also include variation voices. (480 voices + 11
drums). ← Keyboard plays various voices selected by voice button.
• Installed on sheet DB50 or DB51.
• On Disklaviers without silent function, this sheet is mounted in the controller. On Disklavier Silent
models, this sheet is mounted above the piano's MN sheet.
