English Chapter 14: Using the SmartKey

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

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

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

Collection and You Are The Artist

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

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.
