Versatile recording 
    Disklavier pianos can capture anything that's played upon them and recreate 
    this performance with remarkable precision. Special Yamaha developed fiber-optic 
    sensors register the motion of each key and pedal, and record this data to 
    internal flash memory or onto a standard 3.5" floppy disk for unlimited 
    capacity and easy portability. Versatile recording functions allow you to 
    record left-hand and right-hand parts independently, using the full keyboard 
    for each hand or a designated split point — even create your own four-hand 
    duets. And because the sensors use beams of light, rather than the physical 
    contacts common to electronic keyboards, they have no effect on the feel or 
    operation of the keys, capturing the subtlest nuances of expression without 
    sacrificing the traditional touch and responsive control for which Yamaha 
    pianos are renowned. 
Faithful playback 
    Thanks to a sophisticated computer-controlled system to drive the hammers 
    and pedals, Disklavier pianos can reproduce a piano performance on their own 
    keys and strings, as if the original pianist were right there at the keyboard. 
    Every nuance of the player's touch, from timing and velocity to duration and 
    release, is accurately reproduced — live — giving you the pure sound of a 
    true acoustic piano playing. 
A variety of versatile playback controls provide added flexibility. You can adjust the playback volume to a level that you prefer, change the tempo without altering the pitch, transpose the performance into other keys without affecting the tempo, or repeat any selection — as often as you like. And the wireless remote control unit gives you complete command over Disklavier performance from virtually anywhere in the room.
Digital Quiet/Silent mode flexibility 
    Yamaha Silent System™ technology lets you instantly cancel the acoustic piano 
    sound and switch to digital piano tone generation. This means that you can 
    play or listen in Quiet Mode through the built-in speakers, or in Silent mode 
    via the privacy of headphones, letting you enjoy the Disklavier at any time 
    by selecting a sound level suitable to the time of day and the activities 
    of those around you. 
    By eliminating the sound of the acoustic piano, this feature also lets you 
    play internal orchestral voices independently — ideal for multi-track recording 
    or use as a MIDI controller. And in digital mode, you can easily tune the 
    piano to match the pitch of other instruments or recordings. 
Stereo sampled from the Yamaha concert grand, the digital piano tones are virtually indistinguishable from the original, while a special dual-mode action mechanism maintains traditional keyboard touch and response. Variable reverb effects can simulate the acoustics of various playing environments, and dual headphone jacks let you share a private performance with another, if you like.
