The Disklavier & MIDI
This chapter describes how the Disklavier can be used with other MIDI instruments. The Disklavier's
MIDI functions are quite flexible, so there are many different connection possibilities. This chapter
provides a few examples. Even if your particular application is not among these examples, you should be
able to derive the information required to create your own setup by reading through these setup examples.
Note: For the MIDI setups described in this chapter, it is recommended that you connect your MIDI instrument to
the MIDI OUT connector and set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI so that the Disklavier functions
properly. See "Setting the HOST SELECT Switch" on page 73.
Start/Stop Control of a
MIDI Instrument with

the Disklavier

In this setup, song disks are played back on the
Disklavier and a MIDI drum machine or
sequencer plays in synchronization. When
[PLAY] is pressed, the MIDI instrument starts to
play. It can also be paused and stopped via the
Disklavier. In addition, the tempo of the MIDI
instrument will change as the tempo of the
Disklavier is adjusted.
