Recording a Pedal
Count-In
When recording a song, you can also record a
"count-in" preceding the song to indicate the
tempo and the initial downbeat of the song, as a
band leader would do. This is useful when, for
example, you want to play a four-hand duet by
yourself or enjoy ensemble playing using other
instruments along with a song being played back
on the Disklavier.
Count-in beats are recorded using the sustain
pedal. Each press of the sustain pedal is recorded
as a count-in beat. Later when you play back the
recorded song, the metronome beeps and the LED
volume indicators flash the number of times you
pressed the sustain pedal to indicate the count-in
beats.

A pedal count-in can be any number of

as necessary; each press will be recorded as
a count-in beat.
