Important
Read the following before operating the Disklavier GranTouch.
Warnings
• Do not locate the Disklavier GranTouch in a
place subject to excessive heat, low
temperatures, or direct sunlight. This could be a
fire hazard and may damage the finish and
internal parts.
• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or
electric shock.
• Connect the plug on the Disklavier GranTouch
power cable to a compatible AC outlet. Failure
to do so will present a fire and electric shock
hazard. If the power cable plug is not
compatible with your AC outlet, consult your
dealer.
• Do not plug several devices into the same AC
outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and
lead to fire and electric shock hazard. It may
also affect the performance of some devices.
•Do not place heavy objects on the power cable.
A damaged power cable is a potential fire and
electric shock hazard. If the power cable runs
under a carpet, make sure heavy objects,
including the Disklavier GranTouch, are not
placed on top of the cable.
• If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a
bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a
replacement. Using the Disklavier GranTouch
in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.
•When disconnecting the power cable from an
AC outlet, always pull from the plug. Never
pull the cable. Damaging the cable in this way
is a potential fire and electric shock hazard.
• The cover of the unit should be removed only
by qualified service technicians.
• Do not place liquid containers such as vases,
potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles,
medicines, etc., on top of the Disklavier
GranTouch.
• Do not block the ventilation holes in the
Disklavier GranTouch. The Disklavier
GranTouch has ventilation holes underneath to
prevent the internal temperature from rising.
Blocking ventilation holes are a fire hazard.
• Do not try to modify the Disklavier
GranTouch, as this could lead to fire or electric
shock hazard.
•When moving the Disklavier GranTouch to
another location, turn off the power, remove the
power plug from the AC outlet, and remove all
cables connected to external devices.
Cautions
•Turn off all audio devices when connecting to
the Disklavier GranTouch. Refer to the user’s
guide for each device. Use the correct cables
and connect as specified.
• Set the volume level on all the devices to
minimum before applying power.
• Do not play the Disklavier GranTouch at a high
volume for extended periods; you may damage
your hearing. This is especially important when
using headphones. If you think your hearing
ability is impaired, consult your doctor.
• If the Disklavier GranTouch is worked
extremely hard — that is, prolonged playback
of very “busy” songs — the Disklavier
GranTouch’s thermal relay may trip. The
thermal relay will automatically reset when the
Disklavier GranTouch has cooled down.
• If you notice any abnormality — such as
smoke, odor, or noise — turn off the
Disklavier GranTouch immediately, and
remove the power plug from the AC outlet.
Consult your dealer for repair.
• If a foreign object or water gets inside the
Disklavier GranTouch turn it off immediately,
and remove the power plug from the AC
outlet. Consult your dealer.
• If you plan not to use the Disklavier
GranTouch for a long period of time (such as
when you are on vacation), disconnect the
electrical mains.
ii
•Always remove the power plug from the AC
outlet before cleaning the Disklavier
GranTouch. Leaving the power plug connected
presents a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning
detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the
Disklavier GranTouch.
• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on
top of the Disklavier GranTouch. The color
and finish of the piano can be damaged.
• Do not place heavy objects on the Disklavier
GranTouch. Doing so can damage the piano.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Disklavier
GranTouch. However, if you discover a stain,
carefully use a soft damp cloth to remove it.
Interference
•The Disklavier GranTouch uses high-
frequency digital circuits that may cause
interference to radios and TVs placed close to
it. If interference does occur, relocate the
affected equipment.
Handling Batteries
The remote control of this unit is powered by dry
batteries. Improper use or misuse of the dry
batteries can cause the dry batteries to heat up,
leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result
in a fire, damage to equipment and/or nearby
objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.
Read through and familiarize yourself with the
following safety precautions prior to use to ensure
correct usage.
• Do not directly touch the chemicals
(electrolyte) which have leaked from dry
batteries.
1. If electrolyte from dry batteries has made
contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes
thoroughly with clean water and seek
medical treatment from a physician
immediately.
2. If electrolyte from dry batteries has touched
your skin or clothing, rinse it off
immediately with clean water.
3. If electrolyte from dry batteries has found
its way inside your mouth, gargle
immediately and consult a physician.
•Do not install the dry batteries with the “+”
and “–” poles reversed. Misaligning the poles
of dry batteries can lead the dry batteries to be
charged or shorted or it can cause them to heat
up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may
result in a fire, damage to nearby objects or in
burns, injury or other bodily harm.
•Use only the designated batteries. Do not use
used batteries with unused batteries or
different types of batteries together. This can
cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst
which in turn may result in a fire or in burns,
injury or other bodily harm. Replace all the dry
batteries at the same time. Do not use new and
old dry batteries together. Do not use different
types of batteries (alkaline and manganese
batteries, batteries made by different
manufacturers or different battery products
made by the same manufacturer) together: this
can cause them to heat up, ingite or leak
electrolyte.
• When the battery-powered unit is not going to
be used for a prolonged period of time, remove
the dry batteries from the unit. Otherwise the
batteries will run down and their electrolyte
may leak, resulting in damage to the unit.
• Remove spent batteries immediately from
equipment. Otherwise, batteries will
overdischarge, causing them to heat up, leak
electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in
damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or
other bodily harm.
•Dispose of batteries in accordance with the
applicable regulations and ordinances.
Please keep this manual for future reference.

English Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Disklavier GranTouch
Basic Disklavier GranTouch Terminology
The following is a list of several basic Disklavier GranTouch words that you may need to know before
proceeding with operational procedures in this manual. For additional Disklavier GranTouch terminology,
see the glossary provided in Chapter 15 in the Advanced Operation Manual.
Disk
“Disk” is used as a generic term to refer to floppy
disks, internal Memory Disks, and CDs.
Ensemble Song
An Ensemble song contains the same left and
right-hand parts as an L/R song, and extra tracks
that are played by the internal XG tone generator.
Accompanying tracks can include acoustic bass,
drums, strings, vibes, etc.
Floppy Disk
The magnetic storage medium that the Disklavier
GranTouch uses for song playback. The
Disklavier GranTouch uses 3.5 inch 2DD and
2HD floppy disks.
PianoSoft and PianoSoft
.
Plus are song disks
specially for use with the Disklavier Series.
L/R Song
In a L/R song, the left-hand piano part is stored on
track 1 (L) and the right-hand piano part is stored
on track 2 (R). During playback you can cancel
either part, and practice that part yourself. When
recording an L/R song, you can record the two
parts simultaneously or separately.
Memory Disk
The Disklavier GranTouch has a total of 16 Mbytes
of internal flash memory named Memory Disks that
allow you to store song data without a floppy disk.
MIDI
An acronym for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface. MIDI allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other.
The PianoSoft Disk Collection is a library of
prerecorded song disks made by Yamaha for use
with the Disklavier Series pianos and the
Disklavier GranTouch. Many titles are available,
and among the many musical styles included are
classical, jazz, and popular. The disk includes
songs for listening enjoyment, piano study disks
for the piano student, and accompaniment disks
for vocal and instrumental practice.
PianoSoft is sometimes used as a generic term for
PianoSoft and PianoSoft
.
Plus.
PianoSoft
.
Plus disks contain prerecorded Ensemble
songs featuring instrumental accompaniment that
can be played back on the Disklavier GranTouch
and Disklavier Series pianos.
See your Disklavier GranTouch dealer for a
PianoSoft catalog.
CD software made by Yamaha containing audio and
MIDI signals for playing back on the Disklavier
GranTouch and Disklavier Series pianos.
Song
A “song” usually means a short piece of music
with lyrics. However, in the Disklavier
GranTouch manuals the term “song” is used to
refer to any piece of music.
Tone Generator
An electronic device that generates instrument
voices. The Disklavier GranTouch has an internal
XG tone generator that can produce nearly 700
instrumental and percussion voices.
Voice
The sounds produced by a tone generator
expressing various instruments.
Yamaha XG is an extension of the GM (General
MIDI) format. With greater polyphony, more voice,
and effects, it improves song compatibility between
MIDI devices. When a song in the Yamaha XG
format is played on another XG compatible tone
generator or synthesizer, it will play and sound as
the original composer/creator intended.

Accidental Erasure Protection
Floppy disks have an erasure protection tab which
can be set so that the Disklavier GranTouch
cannot record new data onto the disk. This is
useful for protecting valuable song data against
accidental erasure and disk formatting. The
protection tab is located on the reverse side of the
disk in the bottom right-hand corner.
Three types of disks are used with the Disklavier GranTouch: floppy disks, CDs, and internal Memory
Disks.
Floppy Disks
Besides PianoSoft and PianoSoft
.
Plus song disks,
the Disklavier GranTouch can play back songs
stored on 3.5-inch MS-DOS 720 Kbyte format
2DD floppy disks and MS-DOS 1.44 Mbyte
format 2HD floppy disks.
Handling Floppy Disks
Be careful of the following when handling floppy
disks.
•Do not touch the surface of a disk.
• Do not store or place disks near a television,
radio, loudspeaker, or any other device that
generates a magnetic field.
• Do not expose disks to extreme temperature or
humidity. The working temperature range for
disks is between 4˚C and 52˚C (40˚F to
125˚F).
• Do not use disks in a dusty, dirty or smoky
environment.
• Remove the disk before you turn off the
Disklavier.

English Chapter 4: Turning On/Off Your Disklavier GranTouch
This chapter describes how to turn on and off your Disklavier GranTouch and how to set the internal
calendar. Turning your Disklavier GranTouch on/off is a basic and very important procedure. Always be
sure to follow the procedure described below when you turn on or off your Disklavier GranTouch.
Turning On the
Disklavier GranTouch
1
Set the MAINS switch to ON.
2
Press [STANDBY / ON] on the
front panel of the Control Unit.
The following message appears on the
display.
Your Disklavier GranTouch is now ready
for use.
Turning Off the
Disklavier GranTouch
1
Press [STANDBY / ON] on the
Control Unit.
2
Set the MAINS switch to OFF.
Setting the MAINS switch to OFF is
effectively the same as disconnecting the
power cable from an AC wall outlet. If the
Disklavier GranTouch is used regularly,
you only need to use the [STANDBY / ON]
button on the Control Unit. If the
Disklavier GranTouch is not going to be
used for a long period, set the MAINS
switch to OFF.
When the Disklavier GranTouch is turned
off, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it
on again.
Note: The MAINS switch only needs to be
switched off when you are not going to
use the Disklavier GranTouch for a
long period of time. For daily use, only
the [STANDBY / ON] button on the
Control Unit needs to be turned on and
off.

English Chapter 5: Playing the Disklavier GranTouch Digital Piano
Adjusting the Volume
You can adjust the volume of the digital piano as
desired, to a level softer than what is normally
possible on an acoustic piano.
Volume is adjusted using the VOLUME knob on
the Control Box. The standard volume level is
roughly the three o’clock position.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase and
counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Turning the knob fully counterclockwise mutes
the sound of the digital piano.
By simply turning on the Disklavier GranTouch, you can play the digital piano and enjoy its fine grand
piano sound at a desired volume, through headphones, and with or without reverb effects.
Using Headphones
Inserting a headphone plug into one of the
HEADPHONES jacks turns off the internal
speakers, so you can play in private without
disturbing others. Using the optional Yamaha
HPE-170 headphones is recommended.
Since two pairs of headphones can be connected
to the Control Box, another person can listen to
your playing or play along in a duet.
Use the VOLUME control on the Control Box to
set the volume.

Playing with a Reverb
Effect
A piano sounds differently depending on the size
of the room in which it is played. These room
reverberations are referred to as “reverb” in this
manual.
The Disklavier GranTouch’s reverb effects can
simulate chamber and hall acoustics. For example,
you can add spaciousness to the piano sound to
simulate the sound of a piano playing in a concert
hall.
Reverb Types
Reverb types are selected in the Control Unit
display. The default setting is HALL1.
Type Description
ROOM Simulates the reverb of a medium-
sized room
HALL1 Simulates the reverb of a small
concert hall
HALL2 Simulates the reverb of a large
concert hall
Reverb Depth
Reverb depth is controlled using the REVERB
knob on the Control Box. Turn the knob
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to
decrease the reverb. Reverb is off when the
REVERB knob is turned fully counterclockwise.
Follow the procedure below to apply reverb to the
digital piano sound.

Adjusting the Playback
Volume
You can adjust volume with the Control Unit or
with the remote control as descr ibed below. Since
all piano songs are recorded at the maximum
volume level of 0, volume can be decreased down
to –10, the softest volume at which the piano can
play.
For Ensemble songs, the volume of the digital
piano and internal XG tone generator are adjusted
simultaneously, so it is a good idea to first balance
the volume of the piano and XG tone generator.
☛ See “Balancing the Ensemble Volume (TG Master
Balance)” on page 29.
For songs on PianoSoft
.
PlusAudio, you should
first balance the volume of the MIDI piano and
Audio parts.
☛ See “Balancing the CD Volume (CD Master
Balance)” on page 30.
The LED volume level indicators show volume
levels in the manner shown below. For example,
when two consecutive indicators are lit, the
volume level is between these two levels.
Note: Make sure the VOLUME knob on the
Amplifier is set to an appropriately audible
level. If the volume knob on the Amplifier is
turned fully counterclockwise, no sound may
be produced even when you adjust the volume
on the Control Unit.
Once you set the volume of the Amplifier, you
do not need to adjust it frequently.
The volume level setting is saved when another
song is selected, another disk inserted or selected,
or when the Disklavier GranTouch is turned off.
Note: This setting does not affect manual playing.

Balancing the
Ensemble Volume
(TG Master Balance)
When playing back Ensemble songs, it is useful to
be able to balance the volume levels of the digital
piano and Ensemble voices. In other words, the

too loud or too quiet compared to the Disklavier
GranTouch digital piano.
Once you adjust the volume using the Tone
Generator Master Balance function, you can use
the [VOLUME] buttons on the remote control to
conveniently increase or decrease the overall
volume in a normal fashion.
These balance settings are stored in the Control
Unit, and are saved even when the Disklavier
GranTouch is turned off.

Playback can be started from a specified point in a
song. Instead of using fast forward or preview,
you can use this function to go directly to a
desired point within a song.
If the current song uses the minutes and seconds
time format, you specify the point in minutes and
seconds. If it uses the measures and beats time
format, you specify the point in measures and
beats.
Once a time value has been entered, it is saved
until the disk is ejected or the Disklavier
GranTouch is turned off. If you want to search for
the same point again, just press the search button
again.

Enter the time that you want to
search for.
For example, to search for 2:56, first press
[2], then [5], then [6].
If the time value is less than 10, that is,
between 00:01 and 09:59, remember to
press [0] first to set the first digit to zero.
If you enter a value higher than the entire
song time, the search goes to the end of the
song.

English Chapter 13: Using the AUX Connectors
You can connect the Disklavier GranTouch to external audio devices, such as speakers, a tape recorder or
a CD player.
AUX OUT
You can output sound through external devices
connected to the AUX OUT connectors on the
underside of the piano. For example, this allows
you to hook up the Disklavier GranTouch to your
home audio system and bring Ensemble music
through remote speakers to other rooms or even
outdoors.
Note: If your tape recorder has only one input
(mono), connect it to the “L/L+R” AUX OUT
connector to achieve the best sound.
Note: If you connect your hi-fi to the AUX OUT
connectors for listening or recording, be aware
that the Disklavier GranTouch is capable of
producing sounds with a wide dynamic range.
On smaller systems, you should keep the
volume down to avoid speaker damage.
1
With the Disklavier GranTouch
turned off, use an audio cable
(optional) to connect the
Disklavier GranTouch’s AUX OUT
connectors to the appropriate
connectors (LINE IN or AUX IN) on
the external device you want to
connect to.

English Chapter 14: Using the SmartKey
TM
Feature
The SmartKey feature of your Disklavier GranTouch is a unique application of Yamaha’s patented
“Guide” system technology. Used in conjunction with special SmartKey
TM
software, the SmartKey
functions can be used to teach non-players simple melodies without written music. Alternatively, more
advanced players can make use of SmartKey compatible CueTIME
TM
disks that offer prerecorded music
that allows them to perform at any tempo they like. In addition, SmartKey can also be used to expand the
capabilities of Disk Orchestra
TM
Collection and You Are The Artist
TM
software.
Note: SmartKey software and other SmartKey compatible software described above may not be available in some
countries.
Note: SmartKey, CueTIME, Disk Orchestra and You Are The Artist are trademarks of Yamaha Corporation or
Yamaha Corporation of America.
SmartKey
TM
Software
Special SmartKey software disks use all the
“SmartKey” features to create an exciting way in
which non-players can learn to play simple
melodies, one note at a time, without the need for
written music. SmartKey software does this by
partially depressing the piano key to signal which
note should be played. The Disklavier GranTouch
then waits for you to press this key before it
continues to the next note in the melody. (If you
miss the movement of the key, the Disklavier
GranTouch will repeat the movement until you
press the key.) When you press the correct key,
the Disklavier GranTouch will reward you with
ear tickling phrases, incredible harmonies, and
lush arpeggios to give you the aural and visual
image of a complete high-quality performance. In
short, it SHOWS you which key to play, WAITS
for you to play that key before it continues, and
REWARDS you with music. It’s like having an
eternally patient music teacher showing your
fingers which notes to play.
Using a SmartKey Disk
SmartKey software uses three special functions
that together make up SmartKey technology.
Specifically, this software turns on the “Guide”,
“Key Prompt” and “Prompt Repeat” functions
automatically, making the use of this software
very easy.
Playing a song from the built-in
SmartKey demo piece
The Memory Disk on your Disklavier GranTouch
includes two pieces, one entitled “OPENING,”
and the other entitled “SmartKey Demo.” The
demo is actually an abbreviated sample of a song
entitled “Aura Lee.”
Note: If the SmartKey demo is NOT on your
Memory Disk, you can reset your Disklavier
GranTouch to recall this piece. See Chapter 12
“Resetting Your Disklavier GranTouch” in the
Advanced Operation Manual for more
information.

Watch the piano keyboard for the
first key prompt and play that
key.
The first key prompt is “C4” (one octave
above middle “C”.) When you see the key
move, play that key. The next prompt is
“F4.” Play that key. Continue until the song
is finished. Notice that the Disklavier
GranTouch patiently waits for you to play
the right key before proceeding to the next
key. Also, notice that if you happen to miss
the cue, it will gently remind you what the
key is every few seconds until you play the
right key.
Key notation
As a reference, “C3” is middle “C,” which means
“C4” is an octave above middle “C” and so on.
Playing a song from a SmartKey disk
Additional, more complete arrangements like the
built-in SmartKey demo are available on floppy
disks, called SmartKey disks. (See your local
Yamaha dealer for more information on these
types of disks.)

Feature
CueTIME
TM
Software
SmartKey compatible CueTIME software also
uses the SmartKey features of your Disklavier
GranTouch. CueTIME software consists of a disk
and a music book, that contain beautifully
arranged piano pieces and fully orchestrated
background accompaniments on disk. Simply play
the traditional piano piece as written at any speed
or tempo on the piano keyboard and the
accompanying prerecorded accompaniment on
disk will follow you, allowing complete tempo
expression. If you miss a “cue note,” the
Disklavier GranTouch gently reminds you which
note was the “cue” by way of a gentle, silent,
repeating key prompt. Alternatively, the key
prompt repeat can be turned off altogether (see
below), since cues are always shown discreetly in
the display. With CueTIME software, it’s like
conducting a virtual orchestra with your
fingertips.
In summary, you don’t have to follow the disk. On
the Disklavier GranTouch, with the SmartKey
feature and CueTIME software, the disk follows
you!
Using a CueTIME Disk
Make sure that the CueTIME disks are labeled
“SmartKey compatible.” These disks turn on the
appropriate “Guide” and “Prompt Repeat”
functions automatically, making use of these disks
very easy.
Playing a song from a CueTIME disk
1
Insert the CueTIME disk into the
disk drive of the Disklavier
GranTouch.
2
Press the [SONG SELECT ]
buttons to specify the song you
wish to play.
Note that the “R” (right hand) PART
indicator turns orange, indicating that the
“Guide” function has been automatically
activated.
3
Press [PLAY/PAUSE] and play the
piece as written in the music.
In the course of playing the song, you will
play the “cue keys” which are shaded in the
music. The Disklavier GranTouch will wait
until you play the first cue note key, which
may not occur until the middle of the song.
If you miss a “cue key”, the Disklavier
GranTouch will gently remind you which
note you missed by repeating the moving
key prompt. All cues are also shown in the
upper right hand corner of the display when
using the “Guide” function. (See “Key
notation” on page 54 for a visual reference
on cues and their corresponding keys.)

Turning off the “Prompt Repeat”
option for CueTIME disks
If you find the repeating key prompts distracting
when performing your piece from the written
music, you can turn off the “Prompt Repeat”
function. The display always shows the next cue
note if you happen to miss one in performing your
piece.
With the disk already in the disk drive and a song
already selected:
1
Press [FUNC.].
2
Press [>] to move the c cursor to
the SmartKey option, then press
[ENTER].
3
Press [>] to move the c cursor to
the Prompt Repeat option.
4
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES]
buttons to select OFF.
5
Press [FUNC.].
If you play the CueTIME disk now, no keys
will move to indicate “cue keys.” The only
way to know which key the Disklavier
GranTouch is waiting for is to look in the
upper right hand corner of the display. (See
“Key notation” on page 54 for a visual
reference on cues and their corresponding
keys.)
Guide Control
For other types of software not labeled
“SmartKey compatible,” you may be able to use
special SmartKey functions such as the “Guide”
function included in your Disklavier GranTouch.
The “Guide” function allows you to practice at
your own pace when used with some disk
software. With this feature, the Disklavier
GranTouch pauses playback of the
accompaniment until you play the same notes that
have been recorded on the guide track. Either the
“R” track (right-hand) or the “L” track (left-hand)
can be guided, either individually or
simultaneously.
Both SmartKey and CueTIME disks turn this
“Guide” function on automatically. (To use these
disks, see “Using a SmartKey Disk” on page 52
and “Using a CueTime Disk” on page 54.) This
feature does not turn on automatically, so if you
want to use this feature with other disks (such as
“Disk Orchestra Collection” and “You Are The
Artist” disks), you will have to turn it on manually
as follows.
Using the Guide Function
with “Disk Orchestra
Collection” Disks and “You
Are The Artist” Disks
1
Insert the disk into the disk drive
of the Disklavier GranTouch.
2
Press the [SONG SELECT ]
buttons to specify the song you
wish to play, and open the music
book to the same song.

Feature
3
While holding the [ENTER] button,
press either the “L” or “R” [PART]
buttons to activate the “Guide”
function for that part (note that
the orange indicator lights).
After performing this operation, the PART
indicator show three conditions:
State Indicator
Play Steady green
Part Cancel Blinking green
Guide Part Orange
4
Press [PLAY/PAUSE] button and
play the music as written.
The Disklavier GranTouch will now pause
at each note you miss in the track that you
have chosen to guide. For the guide note,
the orange indicator flashes, and the display
shows the note number. If you play with
perfect timing and do not miss any notes,
the Disklavier GranTouch will not pause.
Note: When a chord is supposed to be played,
only one of the guide notes is displayed
on the screen. When any of the notes of
the chord is played, the Disklavier
GranTouch continues play to the next
guide note.
Note: Guide parts cannot be changed during
playback. Guide settings can only be
changed during pause or stop.
Key Prompt
“Key Prompt” is the partial movement of a key
that doesn’t create any sound. “Key Prompt” is
very useful for a visual indication of guided notes
when using the “Guide” function. The “Key
Prompt” is used to signal which keys you should
play in order to teach you simple melodies. “Key
Prompt” is turned on automatically whenever the
“Guide”’ mode is engaged and “Key Prompt”’
function is set to AUTO (default).
Note: “SmartKey compatible” CueTIME disks
automatically turn this feature off, so as to not
interfere with your live piano performance.
CueTIME relies solely on “Prompt Repeat”
for visual cues. See “Prompt Repeat Function”
on page 58 for more information.
If you prefer to turn off key prompts for guided
notes and use the screen prompt exclusively, you
need to turn this feature off manually as follows.
Tur ning off the “Key Prompt” option
With the disk already in the disk drive and a song
already selected:
1
Press [FUNC.].
2
Press [>] to move the c cursor to
the SmartKey option, then press
[ENTER].
3
Press [>] to move the c cursor to
the Key Prompt option.
58
4
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES]
buttons to select OFF.
5
Press [FUNC.].
6
Press [PLAY/PAUSE] button and
play the song.
If you miss a note on the guided track, the
display still shows a visual cue of the note
you missed.
Prompt Repeat Function
The “Prompt Repeat” function is a repeating
reminder of the “Key Prompt” that is generated
when the “Guide” mode is on. This is helpful if
you happen to miss the original “Key Prompt”
The “Prompt Repeat” function will repeat until
that key is played (see note). “Prompt Repeat” is
turned on automatically whenever the “Guide”
mode is engaged and “Prompt Repeat” function is
set to AUTO (default).
Note: The “Prompt Repeat” function repeats
prompting the same key for about five
minutes. If the cue key is not played during
that time, “Prompt Repeat” is automatically
turned off, leaving the cue key shown in the
display only.
To turn on “Prompt Repeat” again, simply
play the cue key.
If you would prefer to turn off “Prompt Repeat”
for guided notes and use the screen prompt
exclusively, you will have to turn this feature
“off” manually as follows.
Turning off the “Prompt Repeat”
option
With the disk already in the disk drive and a song
already selected:
1
Press [FUNC.].
2
Press [>] to move the c cursor to
the SmartKey option, then press
[ENTER].

Considerations
Whenever the “Guide” mode is activated (orange
indicator is illuminated for a [PART] button),
“Chain Play” and “Timer Play” are deactivated.
In other words, at the end of a piece, the
Disklavier GranTouch simply stops playing, and
does not proceed automatically to the next song.
This allows you to practice a song repeatedly, or
to select another song for performance. Since the
SmartKey demo includes an automatic activation
of the “Guide” mode, “Chain Play” and “Timer
Play” are disabled on your Memory Disk. You
may choose to delete the SmartKey demo in order
to allow for “Chain Play” and “Timer Play”
capabilities.
