The SmartKey feature of your Disklavier is a unique
application of Yamaha’s patented “Guide” system
technology and compatible with SmartKey software.
With the SmartKey software, non-players can play
simple melodies by following the guidance of the prompt
key without a written music book.
Note: SmartKey software may not be available in
some countries.
