Chapter 6 Advanced Song Playback SmartKey™ Playback Select a SmartKey song [PLAY] Special SmartKey software uses 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 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 will repeat the movement until you press the key). When you press the key, the Disklavier 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 is like having an eternally patient music teacher showing your fingers which notes to play. 1 Select a desired SmartKey song. 2 Press [PLAY].
