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.
