English Chapter 12: Using the SmartKeyTM Feature CueTIMETM Software SmartKey compatible CueTIME software also uses the SmartKey features of your Disklavier. CueTIME software consists of a disk and a music book, that contain beautifully arranged piano pieces and fully orchestrated background accompaniments on disk. Simply play the traditional piano piece as written at any speed or tempo on the piano keyboard and the accompanying prerecorded accompaniment on disk will follow you, allowing complete tempo expression. If you miss a "cue note," the Disklavier gently reminds you which note was the "cue" by way of a gentle, silent, repeating key prompt. Alternatively, the key prompt repeat can be turned off altogether (see below), since cues are always shown discreetly in the display. With CueTIME software, it's like conducting a virtual orchestra with your fingertips. In summary, you don't have to follow the disk. On the Disklavier, with the SmartKey feature and CueTIME software, the disk follows you! Using a CueTIME Disk Make sure that the CueTIME disks are labeled "SmartKey compatible." These disks turn on the appropriate "Guide" and "Prompt Repeat" functions automatically, making use of these disks very easy.

Software
SmartKey compatible CueTIME software also
uses the SmartKey features of your Disklavier.
CueTIME software consists of a disk and a music
book, that contain beautifully arranged piano
pieces and fully orchestrated background
accompaniments on disk. Simply play the
traditional piano piece as written at any speed or
tempo on the piano keyboard and the
accompanying prerecorded accompaniment on
disk will follow you, allowing complete tempo
expression. If you miss a “cue note,” the
Disklavier gently reminds you which note was the
“cue” by way of a gentle, silent, repeating key
prompt. Alternatively, the key prompt repeat can
be turned off altogether (see below), since cues
are always shown discreetly in the display. With
CueTIME software, it’s like conducting a virtual
orchestra with your fingertips.
In summary, you don’t have to follow the disk. On
the Disklavier, with the SmartKey feature and
CueTIME software, the disk follows you!
Using a CueTIME Disk
Make sure that the CueTIME disks are labeled
“SmartKey compatible.” These disks turn on the
appropriate “Guide” and “Prompt Repeat”
functions automatically, making use of these disks
very easy.
Playing a song from a CueTIME disk
1
Insert the CueTIME disk into the
disk drive of the Disklavier.
2
Press the [SONG SELECT
]
buttons to specify the song you
wish to play.
Note that the “R” (right hand) PART
indicator turns orange, indicating that the
“Guide” function has been automatically
activated.
3
Press [PLAY/PAUSE] and play the
piece as written in the music.
In the course of playing the song, you will
play the “cue keys” which are shaded in the
music. The Disklavier will wait until you
play the first cue note key, which may not
occur until the middle of the song.
If you miss a “cue key”, the Disklavier will
gently remind you which note you missed
by repeating the moving key prompt. All
cues are also shown in the upper right hand
corner of the display when using the
“Guide” function. (See “Key notation” on
page 46 for a visual reference on cues and
their corresponding keys.)
