Sending the Keyboard
Data to a MIDI
Instrument
In this setup, as you play the Disklavier, a
connected external MIDI tone generator or
synthesizer plays as well. This is sometimes
referred to as voice layering or unison. A typical
combination may be the Disklavier and a strings
voice, or the Disklavier and a vibes voice. From
the Disklavier, you can select the tone generator's
voice, set its volume, and its transposition.
It is also possible to set a split point on the
keyboard, so that, for example, your left-hand part
is backed by a bass guitar voice and your right-
hand part is backed by a marimba. MIDI data
from each side of the split point is sent to a
different MIDI channel, and the voice, volume,
and transposition for each side can be set
individually.
Note: This setup is not intended for Ensemble song
playback. It is intended for manual piano
playing with an external tone generator or
synthesizer. To send Ensemble song data to an
external MIDI instrument, see "Sending Song
Data to a MIDI Instrument" on page 60.
The following procedure describes how to play
MIDI instruments from the Disklavier using a
keyboard split point.
