  • Page 2 Foreword Yamaha introduced its first acoustic-electronic hybrid piano, the Disklavier MX100A, in 1987. Since that time Yamaha has continued to develop and market a variety of hybrid products. These products combine acoustic- piano technology with the leading-edge digital technology. This handbook provides a general introduction to product and maintenance concepts for hybrid pianos. It covers all hybrid models, and is intended as a general guide for persons in charge of servicing these instruments.

  • Page 30: Sheets

    Hybrid models incorporate a variety of circuit sheets. The table below lists and describes the most important of these sheets. Note that sheet combinations vary according to the model. Sheets The following table lists and describes the different type of sheets that are used in Yamaha hybrid models. Control Sheet • Installed in the controller.
  • Page 31 Pedal Sensor Sheet • Transmits the pedal performance data (detected by the Pedal Sensor) to the PK- CTL sheet. On GP models, sostenuto-pedal performance data is sent to the Sen- sor Sheet. • This “Pedal Sensor sheet” exists independently on UP models only. On GP models, the pedal drive sheet carries out this function.

  • Page 32: Software Support

    floppy disks, flash memory, and CD-ROMs as their media (although CD recording is not supported). They support MIDI data; and CD-drive models also support audio data. Supported MIDI formats are SMF (stan- dard MIDI files) and E-Seq (Yamaha proprietary format). The following tables show the playback and recording support provided by each model.

    Typical Key Sensors and Their Structures 1-beam ON/OFF sensor Used on models up to the MarkIIXG. 2-beams 4-points sensor Used on silent pianos (uprights and grands), etc. Rest 1-beam continuous sensor The continuous sensor was introduced on the GranTouch GT1, and has thereafter been used on the GT2, GT7, DGPS, PRO, MPX70, GT15, GT20, MARKIII, and others.

  • Page 40: Typical Hammer Sensors And Their Structures

    MPX70, GT15, GT20, MarkIII Light-quantity change curves are preset at the factory for each sensor and key, and these values are written into the sheet. Specifically, after the sensor has been installed the light quantities at open, rest, and end positions are measured for each key, and used to generate a change curve for that key. The key-specific curve is then used to determine the appropriate percentages (relative to at-rest light quan- tity) for points K1 to K4 for that key.

  • Page 41: Principle Of Sensor Emission & Reception

    Principle of Sensor Emission & Reception The Key Emission sheet incorporates 12 LEDs, where each LED is assigned to a different key in the scale: from A to G#. The Key Receive sheet incorporates 8 photoreceptors, one for each octave. The combination of LED and photoreceptor uniquely identifies each key on the keyboard.

  • Page 42: Control Of Sensor Detection And Data

    Control of Sensor Detection and Data Control is implemented by the sensor-sheet CPU. On some models this CPU is installed on the Hammer Sensor sheet, while in other models it is installed on the Key Sensor sheet.

  • Page 54: Up Silent Models: Adjusting The Hammer Shank Stopper And Let-Off

    1. UP Silent Models: Adjusting the Hammer Shank Stopper and Let-Off For UP silent models: During silent mode, the jack must escape before the hammer shank touches the shank stop- per. This means that the hammer let-off must be set somewhat wider than on a conventional acoustic piano. Owing to a change in the shank-stopper specification, the shank-stop and let-off positions have been changed to the values indicated below.
  • Page 55 3. Swing Type (Shank stop: 4.5–7 mm; Let-off: 5.5–8 mm) • Use the turn buckle (A) to adjust the overall shank stop position. • To adjust at the bass end or treble end only, use the corresponding cable adjuster [(B) or (C)]. •...

(Fig. 1) (Located at the bass end of the hammer shank stopper unit.) Adjustment range: With the hammer pushed against the string, adjust so that the gap between the shank and its stopper is 2 to 4 mm.

  • Page 59: Gp Silent Models: Adjusting The Shank Stopper And Regulating Rods

    2. GP Silent Models: Adjusting the Shank Stopper and Regulating Rods GP silent models include a quick escapement mechanism that automatically accelerates the jack escape when the piano is placed into silent mode. For this reason the let-off can generally be adjusted in the same way as on a con- ventional acoustic grand piano.
  • Page 60 3. SHANK STOPPER HEIGHT adjustment: Use the stopper mounting bracket. If the piano is producing acoustic sound during silent mode, or is failing to produce acoustic sound under acoustic mode, first check the shank stopper angle. If the angle is correct then proceed to adjust the bracket height as necessary. (For A1–C3 [start- ing from about #5770000] and for C5 up, only bass-end or treble-end adjustment is possible.) 4.

    4-3 Keyboard Measurement 1. Keyboard Measurement for all except PRO models Purpose Eliminates disparities among different pianos and among different keys on each piano. Generates custom- ized playback tables and stores these into the PK-CTL sheet. Work Flow 1. Measure the piano’s current state. Apply different levels of drive current to the key solenoids while measuring the main keyboard parame- ters: hammer velocity (as measured by hammer sensors), key-off timing (as measured by key sensors) etc.
  • Page 72 2. Keyboard Measurement for PRO models In addition to general DKV keyboard measurements, PRO models also require various types of calibration. These calibrations are necessary to support the PRO line’s high-performance recording and playback capa- bilities. When you select Maintenance mode item 06 (“All key measure complete”), the program automatically car- ries out each of the calibrations listed below.

  • Page 87 2. Key Sensor Check that the key sensor is functioning properly and that the height is correct. MarkII (1-beam ON/OFF) Use “KEY SENSOR DEPTH TEST” on the SENSOR SHEET menu. (1) KEY TEST Press the key down slowly, and confirm that the key KEY NUMBER = XX comes ON (the buzzer sounds) when the key depth reaches 4.5 mm.
  • Page 88 DGPS, DKVPRO, MARKIII (1-beam 4-points) For all except the PRO, use “HAMMER SENSOR HEIGHT TEST” on the SENSOR SHEET menu. For the PRO, use “HAMMER SENSOR HEIGHT TEST” on the “Sensor unit test” menu. (2) HMR TEST Slowly advance the hammer toward the stopper, and KEY NUMBER = XX check points H1 to H4 (buzzer ON and OFF).
