Press [PLAY/PAUSE] button and
play the music as written.

The Disklavier 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 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

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 50 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.

Turning off the “Key Prompt” option
