Using the PianoSmart Feature
A special-purpose floppy disk (Smart PianoSoft) that supports CDs available on the market and a CD can
be played back simultaneously.
PianoSmart
Simply insert a commercial CD into the
Disklavier's CD drive and a PianoSmart floppy
disk into the floppy disk drive. The floppy disk
contains a recorded piano accompaniment to the
commercial CD, and the acoustic piano
accompaniment will play back matching with the
commercial CD. Yamaha's new Smart PianoSoft
library will offer professionally arranged MIDI
piano files for major albums in every musical
genre, starting with some of the best-selling
records of all time.
Plus, you can record your own accompaniment for
your favorite commercial CDs at home; play your
Disklavier Mark III as you listen to a CD, and
PianoSmart will match the music together during
playback, essentially adding you to famous
performances.
PianoSmart allows synchronization with a VCR
or other external component. For details, see
"Synchronization Using the MTC" on page 62 in
the Advanced Operation Manual.
PianoSmart Playback
A special-purpose floppy disk (Smart PianoSoft)
that supports CDs available on the market and a
CD can be played back simultaneously.
Using SPS (Smart PianoSoft) disks (made by
Yamaha) purchased on the market, the Smart
PianoSoft Adjustment function automatically
corrects the synchronization shift between the
CDs as they are being played back, and it stores
the song information in the control box.
Note: Even CDs which are paired with Smart
PianoSoft and which have the same title, may
have a slightly different start position and/or
tempo depending on the version used.
It also enables adjustments to be performed
manually when automatic compensation is not
performed successfully.
The function does not work with self-recorded
songs.
