English 3Chapter Basic Song Playback Types of Playable Software PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus When piano songs such as those contained in PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus software are played back on the Disklavier, the piano parts are actually played by the Disklavier keyboard, and the keys move up and down as though they were being played by an invisible performer. The ensemble parts (contained in PianoSoft·Plus software) are played by the internal tone generator and are heard from optional monitor speakers. PianoSoft·PlusAudio PianoSoft·PlusAudio songs are recorded using two channels, an analog MIDI channel for the piano parts and an audio channel for instrumentals and vocals. When they are played back on the Disklavier, the piano parts area played by the Disklavier keyboard as with PianoSoft and PianoSoft·Plus songs, and all other instrumental and vocal parts are heard from optional monitor speakers just like a normal stereo system. SmartPianoSoft SmartPianoSoft contains a recorded piano accompaniment to the commercial CDs, and the acoustic accompaniment will play back matching with the commercial CD. You can also record your own accompaniment for your favorite commercial CDs at home; play your Disklavier as you listen to a CD, and SmartPianoSoft will match the music together during playback, essentially adding you to famous performances. Standard Audio CDs Standard audio CDs contain two audio channels (L and R), and are both heard from optional monitor speakers just like a normal stereo system. In other words, the Disklavier can be used to play CDs in place of a stereo system. 21
