Yamaha Mark III Series Electronic Keyboard User Manual


 
A Perfect Harmony of Technology and Tradition
The Disklavier DU1A combines the acoustic excellence of a Yamaha U1 piano
with the latest digital technology, opening up a new dimension in musical
performance and entertainment. Optical key, hammer, and pedal sensors can
record every nuance of performance into internal memory or onto standard
floppy disks. Drive solenoids can then reproduce this music exactly as it was
played, complete with key and pedal movement.
A new compact control unit, featuring an XG tone generator with nearly
700 voices, lets you enjoy playback of ‘live’ piano performances with
professionally arranged instrumental accompaniment—you can even compose
and record your own songs with up to 16 tracks of piano and digital
orchestration! The built-in CD drive can play back special ensemble CDs, including
those that contain audio data, allowing you to enjoy piano playback complete
with high-fidelity vocals and instruments. Playback controls can alter volume or
tempo, or transpose into other keys, and L/R capabilities let you record or play
back one hand at a time. There’s also a built-in Silent System
that lets you ‘turn
off the sound’ to play, record, and listen through headphones.
