MARK III SERIES FULL-FUNCTION UPRIGHTS

Outstanding pianos and
sophisticated musical entertainment systems in one!
The new Disklavier Mark III
upright offers an unprecedented range of playback, recording
and other features in the classic, space-efficient and
budget-friendly vertical form of the perennially popular
Yamaha U1 piano. |
|
The original Yamaha Disklavier, which made its debut
back in 1986, introduced the world to the wonder of
traditional pianos equipped with integrated digital
electronics for recording, auto playback and more. Since
that time, these computer-age 'player' pianos have
evolved into instruments of truly remarkable
capabilities. They can reproduce not only 'live'
acoustic piano concerts, but ensemble music with
instrumental and vocal tracks as well. They allow you to
record and play back your own performance, create
complex multi-track arrangements, and connect to the
world of musical opportunities offered by MIDI devices,
personal computers and the Internet. Their unique
combination of acoustic excellence and digital
versatility has made them an increasingly popular choice
of pianists, educators and music-lovers worldwide.
Today, Yamaha is proud to introduce the latest evolution
of the Disklavier line, integrating a host of new
acoustic advances and cutting-edge digital developments.
Most models now play audio/MIDI CDs as well as floppy
disks. Revolutionary new PianoSmart™ features make it
possible to synchronize piano recording and playback
with standard audio CDs. And for those who always wanted
to play the piano, new SmartKey™ technology makes it
easy, guiding you through songs note by note, while
adding professional embellishment.

NEW! PianoSmart
technology
opens up a whole new world of entertainment possibilities |
| PianoSmart™ |
|
A truly revolutionary breakthrough in Disklavier
technology, the PianoSmart system opens up a world of
additional ways to enjoy your digital/acoustic piano.
PianoSmart intelligently synchronizes Disklavier
recording and playback with the operation of the
built-in CD player. What this means in real terms is
that you can now record your own piano or electronic
instrumental tracks while listening to your favorite
CDs, and play them back in perfect combination with the
original recordings. 'Sit in' with the hottest new
groups, classic combos or a full symphony orchestra,
then sit back, press a couple of buttons, and listen to
yourself performing 'live' with the pros!
Through the use of MTC (MIDI Time Code), PianoSmart can
also synchronize recording and playback with external
devices such as multi-track recording equipment and
video cameras*. These features enable pianists, families
and educators to create audiovisual records of any
performance, complete with 'live' Disklavier acoustic
piano playback, stereo audio instrumentals and vocals,
and full-motion video – all as one integrated
presentation. They also allow creative musicians to
collaborate in ways seldom dreamed of before. In
combination with the many other Disklavier capabilities,
PianoSmart extends digital/acoustic creativity into a
whole new universe of options.
*
Video synchronization requires an external video MIDI
sync interface.
|
| New! Speaker connections |
|
The DU1A now comes equipped with speaker jacks. Just
plug in your own powered speakers to enjoy
piano/ensemble performance or play the piano at reduced
volume in digital Quite mode.
|
| PC, MIDI and AUX connections |
|
Along with an unprecedented range of internal
capabilities, Disklavier pianos also provide easy
plug-and-play access to a world of external equipment.
MIDI IN/Out jacks let you control devices like
synthesizers and sequencers from the Disklavier piano
keyboard, add the capabilities of other MIDI devices to
your Disklavier ensemble, or play the Disklavier's piano
and instrumental tones from external equipment.
AUX connections let you amplify the Disklavier's sound
via external audio equipment. The AUX In jack also
allows you to listen and play along with audio
recordings through external speakers or headphones.
The built-in PC interface lets you connect the
Disklavier directly to your personal computer, for
virtually unlimited range of additional possibilities.
Play the Disklavier from your PC keyboard or
applications. Download music files for playback on your
Disklavier. Or even transmit Disklavier performances
across the Internet.
|
| Silent System versatility |
|
The built-in Silent System lets you cancel the
acoustic sound and play at reduced volume through
external speakers or headphones. This capability makes
the Disklavier great for use as a MIDI controller and
for multi-track recording, too.
