Disklavier PRO pianos record highly precise control
information (XP events) that becomes part of the MIDI
song files. This data is used to achieve accurate playback
on the Disklavier PRO, but is not used when the file is
played back on general MIDI devices.
When you edit the song with external MIDI products (for
example a software sequencer), the relationship between
the note data and the XP event as well as the actual
performance may not be maintained. There may be cases
in which songs edited in this manner cannot be played
back normally, depending on the instrument’s settings. In
such cases, use the Strip XP function to remove the XP
event to convert the song to standard MIDI format before
using it for playback. Strip XP also makes it possible to
reduce the size of MIDI files when desired.
Note: Once the XP event is stripped, the original
data cannot be restored. Before converting valuable
music data, be sure to backup the original data.

Start playback of a song with lyrics on
the Disklavier.
The lyrics appear with a colorful background
picture. A color bar behind the lyrics stretches
gradually as the song goes on to indicate the current
playback point.
Note: The lyrics are shown only when the
song includes the lyric data.
