Caring For Your PianoDisc Music Library Diskettes

By following these simple guidelines, your collection of PianoDisc Music Library

diskettes should provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment:

• Do not eject the diskette when the disk drive light is on or during playback. (The

disk drive light is the green or amber light directly below the disk drive opening.)

• Avoid turning the main power on and off while playing a diskette. First stop play-

back, then turn off the power.

• Store your diskettes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, cold, or

any moisture.

• Keep diskettes in their protective cases when not in use to protect them from dust

and mishandling.

• Do not subject your diskettes to violent vibrations or shocks; do not try to take

them apart or tamper with the casings.

• Keep your diskettes away from electrical appliances, magnets, or anything else

capable of producing a magnetic field.

• Insert your diskettes into the PDS-228CFX as shown below, with the label side up.

PianoDisc PDS-228CFXvi

Caring For Your PianoDisc Compact Discs (CDs)

By following these simple guidelines, your collection of PianoDisc Compact Discs

(CDs) should provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment:

• Keep your compact discs in their protective case when not in use to protect them

from dust and mishandling.

• Store your compact discs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat,

cold, or any moisture.

• If using an external CD player, review care and handling instructions in your com-

pact disc player user’s manual.

• Place the compact disc in the tray with the label facing up as shown below.

NOTE:

Both portable and full size CD players can be used with the PDS-228CFX System along

with its own internal CD player. Because the quality of the CD player will affect the

performance of the player system, make every effort to ensure fresh batteries are in the

portable CD player. It is highly recommended that an AC adapter be used.

Full size CD players include advanced features like digital filtering or special DSP

effects. Disable these features or similar ones when playing PianoDisc PianoCDs.

For best results, use an internal or external PianoCD unit, which has an integrated

CD player.

viiPianoDisc PDS-228CFX

General Operating Notes

• When the control unit is turned off from the front panel, the unit will continue to

consume power (approximately 1.5 W) and generate a minimal amount of heat.

Unplugging the piano from the power source will completely shut down the unit

unless the control unit is being powered by its own power supply.

• Make sure the control unit has adequate ventilation underneath, behind, and on top.

Do not place the PDS-228CFX on a cushioned surface such as a pillow or towel.

• The PianoDisc PDS-228CFX is used with an acoustic piano and a mechanical drive

system—it cannot be manipulated like a home stereo. Changes in volume and

tempo may alter the playback in ways you may not have anticipated.

• The PDS-228CFX can be purchased with, or upgraded to, an internal symphony

module that provides additional sounds and instruments that can play along with

your piano.

• The features and operations of the PDS-228CFX, with the internal module, are identi-

cal to the PDS-228CFX without the internal module, except for a few functions.

Users of the PDS-228CFX without the module should ignore any information in this

guide regarding the internal symphony module.

• The PDS-228CFX can be purchased with, or upgraded to, the M

usic eXpansion

option, offering many hours of uninterrupted, user-customizable playback.

• Users of the PDS-228CFX without MX should ignore any information* in this guide

pertaining to its unique capacity (focused in the “MX (M

usic eXpansion Option”

Section).

• Refer to the “MX Mode “ section to consider compelling reasons to upgrade to MX.

• The PDS-228CFX can be purchased with–or upgraded to include–a CD ROM Drive.

The internal CD ROM Drive is a Class 1 Laser Product.

*For instance, some references to the SOURCE options throughout this User Guide

will mention MX. If this option is available to you, it will display on-screen. If not, it

is hidden from view to keep menu navigation clear.

PianoDisc PDS-228CFX 5

PDS-228CFX Rear Panel

1. MIDI PORTS: Used to connect the PianoDisc PDS-228CFX control box to an

external MIDI device via MIDI cables. MIDI cables are 5-pin connectors available

in various lengths. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the pins when insert-

ing them into the MIDI ports.

MIDI THRU: Echoes, or duplicates MIDI data received from MIDI IN.

MIDI OUT: Transmits MIDI data unaffected by most front panel controls.

MIDI OUT also has several alternative functions, such as to pro-

vide the pathway for “link mode” with the PianoCD.

MIDI IN: Receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device, such as a key-

board, sequencer, or computer.

SYNTH OUT: Sends MIDI data for an external synthesizer. It is not necessary

to use SYNTH OUT if the PDS-228CFX is equipped with the

symphony option.

2. TO PIANO: This special 6-pin DIN port is used to connect the PDS-228CFX to a

piano fitted with the PianoDisc system, allowing information to and from the piano

to be transmitted over one cable. Power to the PDS-228CFX unit is supplied with

this same cable.

3. DC POWER CONNECTOR: This connector is for connecting the PDS-228CFX to

a stand-alone 9 volt transformer, (ordinarily the PDS-228CFX is powered through

the “To Piano” port by means of a special 6-pin DIN cable). If a DC power supply

PianoDisc PDS-228CFX 6

is necessary, it must be purchased from PianoDisc. DO NOT attempt to use an

off-the-shelf power supply to power the PDS-228CFX control unit.

4. RS–232 PORT: This port is for high speed data transfer with a computer or an exter-

nal expansion option.

5. DISPLAY CONTRAST: This small control may be used to adjust the display so it

can be seen at the desired viewing angle.

6. AUDIO INPUT CONTROL: This adjusts the volume of the AUDIO INPUT signal.

7. AUDIO IN: 1/8” mono jack for microphone or other audio input signal which will be

heard through AUDIO OUT.

8. CD IN CONNECTORS: These are to be used for the CD mode. Connect the

AUDIO OUTs of a CD player to these ports.*

9. AUDIO OUT CONNECTORS**: These are used to connect a PDS-228CFX to a

listening device, such as a pair of amplified speakers. If only one amplified speaker

is to be connected to the PDS-228CFX, slide the mono/stereo switch to mono.

10. AUDIO OUTPUT CONTROL: Controls the master volume.

11. MONO/STEREO SELECTOR SWITCH: This switch should be set to STEREO to

take advantage of both left and right audio output channels (both speakers). If your

setup uses only one channel of audio output, e.g., if playback is to be heard from

only one

speaker, set this switch to MONO.

* These inputs are designed to accept a line level signal up to 1 volt RMS each. Because the inputs are designed to

work with consumer-grade CD players at

line level

, avoid connecting amplified signals to these inputs.

**The audio output of the PDS-228CFX IS NOT a speaker output. This system must be connected to an amplified

device, such as the aux. input of a stereo system or the line level input of a musical instrument or PA system. The

audio output of the PDS-228CFX sums (mixes) the output of the internal symphony option and the audio input

jacks. The output level is attenuated (turned down) by the AUDIO LEVEL ADJUST OUTPUT control located on the

rear panel of the PDS-228CFX.

PianoDisc PDS-228CFX 7

PDS-228CFX Side Panel

STEREO HEADPHONES

There are two stereo headphone jacks on the side of the PDS-228CFX Control Box.

The left jack duplicates the

* signal to the speakers (

i.e.

, both speakers and

headphones will receive audio output signal, meaning that you will hear sound from

both simultaneously). Plugging headphones into the right jack will disable output to the

speakers (leaving only the sound coming from the headphones). (See diagram above.)

Before playing any music (especially through headphones!), lo

wer the audio level to a

low setting from the front panel. Then, for best playback results, set the audio out

adjustment on the rear panel to 1/8 turn from maximum. Start your music playback.

TRANSPOSE

The TRANSPOSE function changes the pitch of the song in half-step increments. (A

half-step is the interval between any two adjacent notes on the piano, e.g. C and C-

sharp; one octave is equal to 12 half-steps.) This function is useful when a vocalist is

singing with the piano and would prefer to sing in a different key. Transposing down

moves the song toward the bass end of the piano, while transposing up has the oppo-

site effect. This function is effective up to two full octaves (24 keys) in either direction.

Changing Sounds While in Accompaniment Mode

Once the ACCOMPANIMENT mode window is displayed, sounds from the instrument

named on the display will “accompany” any notes that are played on the piano, whether

by a performer or when playing a PianoDisc Music Library diskette. While the ACCOM-

PANIMENT mode window is displayed, you may select sounds from all 128 G

eneral

MIDI presets to “accompany” the piano.

To select instrument sounds:

1. On the front panel, the [1] and [4] mode buttons will scan all the selections in order

(backwards and forward, respectively).

• Press [1] and release to select the previous instrument.

• Press and release [4] to move forward and select the next instrument.

• Press and hold

either the [1] or [4] button and the display will move rapidly through

the instruments in the respective direction.

Scrolling will stop when it has gone full circle (number 1 or 128 is reached). To continue,

release, then press and hold either button again. Release the held button when the

name of the instrument you want is displayed on the screen.

2. To select instruments with the

PDS-228CFX Remote

, use the Instrument [<<] [>>]

buttons.

ACCOMPANIMENT

2: KBRD 3: ACMP

The ACCOMPANIMENT mode allows a pianist with the PDS-228CFX system to

“accompany” his or her performance with any sound from the SymphonyPro module or

from an external tone generator. By selecting ACCOMPANIMENT mode, you can

choose from all 128 G

eneral MIDI presets available, allowing you to enhance and vary

your performances by adding various background sounds. Only one sound at a time

can be selected and used with this feature.

In order to use ACCOMPANIMENT mode as a performer, you must have the PianoDisc

Record option installed on the piano. Since you will also need a source for the ACCOM-

PANIMENT mode sounds, we recommend our SymphonyPro Option. (Or, you could use

an external tone generator; see page 21, “Using an External Tone Generator.”) Finally,

a set of amplified speakers must be attached to the PDS-228CFX, or to the external

tone generator.

If you know the instrument number (patch numbers in MIDI terminology) and are in

ACCOMPANIMENT mode, enter the desired instrument number on the numeric keypad

on the PDS-228CFX remote control, then press the SELECT button.

Experiment with the various instrument sounds to find the ones that best compliment

the piano performance.

Playing Diskettes While In Accompaniment Mode

PianoDisc Music Library diskettes (see note on following page) can be played while the

PDS-228CFX control unit is in ACCOMPANIMENT mode. You may engage (and disen-

gage) the ACCOMPANIMENT mode at any time. Also, you may change the “accompa-

nying” sound, as well as any parameter or function at any time, even while a song is

being played.

If you leave the PDS-228CFX in ACCOMPANIMENT mode, you will continue to hear the

“accompanying” instrument throughout all the songs played, until you exit ACCOMPANI-

MENT mode.

Advancing Songs While in Accompaniment Mode

You can switch songs

while

remaining in ACCOMPANIMENT mode by using the

[SCAN <<] and [SCAN >>] buttons. Press and release [SCAN>>] to advance to the next

song. Press and release [SCAN<<] to go back.

Exiting Accompaniment Mode

To exit ACCOMPANIMENT mode, you can use the stop button (on either the front panel

or the remote). Pressing the stop button once stops playback, the second time (wait for

the screen to display the instrument selection) disables ACCOMPANIMENT mode. Or

you can use the flow diagram shown above.

You can also

toggle

ACCOMPANIMENT mode by pressing ACMP on the remote con-

trol.

Using an External Tone Generator

Since the PDS-228CFX is a General MIDI device, another General MIDI tone generator

may be used with the PDS-228CFX for ACCOMPANIMENT mode.

To use an external tone generator with the PDS-228CFX you must have a tone genera-

tor with its own power supply and a MIDI cable. Plug the MIDI cable into the SYNTH

OUT port on the back panel of the PDS-228CFX control unit and

into the MIDI IN port

4. No

PianoDisc PDS-228CFX22

of the external tone generator. The audio outputs from the tone generator are now pro-

viding the “accompanying” sounds, so they must be hooked to an amplification system,

such as a home stereo or a pair of amplified speakers.

Once everything is connected and ACCOMPANIMENT mode is activated, the system

will operate as described in the previous sections. To change the “accompanying”

sound, select another instrument in the ACCOMPANIMENT mode window of the PDS-

228CFX. You may also change sounds directly on the external tone generator.

If you hear no “accompanying” sounds, verify that the external tone generator is not

set

to ignore messages transmitted on channel 1 (consult user manual). Patch changes

and note information are transmitted to the external tone generator on MIDI channel 1.

Note: Accompaniment mode is not available during playback of Standard MIDI File

songs.

playback continues through all songs on a disk, stopping when it reaches the disk’s end

(unless a REPEAT function is enabled).

To play a single song, then stop (avoiding automatic consecutive playback of all tracks

on the disk), set SCOPE to “One.” Thus, when any song is finished playing, playback

will stop with the next song cued (poised for play, with its title displayed). The user must

RECORD

The RECORD function is a one-pass, real-time MIDI recorder capable of saving MIDI

data on all 16 MIDI channels (if used with an external MIDI Device). Any information

(including note info, pitch bends, system exclusive data, etc.) sent to the PDS-228CFX

can be recorded and saved on the diskette.Two possible sources of MIDI data for

recording on the PDS-228CFX are the piano k

eyboard (Record Option installed) and an

xternal MIDI device, such as a keyboard or a sequencer. To record a musical perfor-

mance, first check to make sure that all MIDI cables have been properly connected.

Recording From the Piano Keyboard

With the Record Option, the piano keyboard becomes a MIDI controller, allowing musi-

cal performances to be recorded directly from the acoustic piano and replayed by the

PianoDisc system.

Recording From an External MIDI Device

To record from an external keyboard, computer, or any MIDI-equipped device, connect

the MIDI cables as shown below. The PDS-228CFX will record MIDI data received at

the MIDI IN port on all 16 MIDI channels.

Note: MIDI IN must be set to record from MIDI IN for this type of recording.

Note: MIDI IN must be set to record from PIANO for this type of recording. Also, the

piano performance

only

(MIDI channel 1) is saved to disk (i.e., no symphony parts will

be saved for playback).

34 PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

PDS-228CFX Recording Procedure

1. Insert a diskette into the PDS-228CFX. (The diskette must first be write-enabled.)

It is not recommended that a pre-recorded diskette, such as one from the

PianoDisc Music Library, be used for recording. It is better to record with a new

diskette, formatted on the PianoDisc system. (See “FORMAT” sub-section for a

description of the formatting process.)

2. To prepare the PDS-228CFX for recording, press the [RECORD] button. The dis-

play will change as shown below. The red light next to the RECORD button will

begin flashing, indicating that the PDS-228CFX is set to begin recording MIDI data

onto the diskette (or an

library, with

option) at the next command.

4. When you are ready to start recording, press the [RECORD] button again. If you

have enabled the metronome, you will notice the metronome sound change to a

standard metronome “tick” upon pressing [RECORD]. After a slight delay, the PDS-

228CFX will begin saving incoming data to the diskette. If RECORD is initiated

from within

, data will be saved to the

active MX

library.

Flashing red light

indicates PDS-228CFX

is prepared to start

recording.

Note: You can also press the damper (rightmost) pedal to trigger recording.

3. Now, you have the option of engaging the metronome (For use during recording or

simply practicing.) If you do not wish to use the metronome, skip to step 4. To acti-

vate the metronome, press [1]. The display will change from “metro” (lower case)

to “METRO” (upper case), and you will hear the metronome tick. To toggle

metronome “off” press [1] again. To adjust the metronome tempo, use the [3] and

[4] buttons.

Note: You will not hear the metronome unless you have the symphony option or an

external tone generator. Neither the volume nor the sound of the metronome can be

changed.

35PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

Red light will stay on,

indicating that PDS-

228CFX is recording

MIDI data, if any.

Using Symphony Accompaniment While Recording

If your PDS-228CFX is equipped with the Symphony option, you can accompany your

performance with an instrument while recording.*

1. Enable Accompaniment mode (see ACCOMPANIMENT, pg. 20 ).

2. Choose your accompanying instrument using the [1] and [4] buttons.

below, and the red light adjacent to the [RECORD] button will begin flashing, indi-

cating that the PDS-228CFX is set to begin recording MIDI data onto the diskette

(or an

library, with

option) at the next command.

4. When you are ready to record, press [RECORD] again.

5. When you have finished recording, press [STOP].

Flashing red light

indicates PDS-228CFX

CD Mode

Section IV

PianoDisc PDS-228CFX 38

All PDS-228CFX units are equipped to play PianoDisc PianoCDs. These special CDs

contain piano data as well as digital audio accompaniment (on selected titles). The use

of digital audio allows the piano performance to be complemented by live orchestration

and vocals. The following is a summary of the PDS–228CFX’s CD capabilities:

• Plays the piano and provides digital audio accompaniment (on selected titles).

• Reads PianoDisc PianoCDs.

• Reads standard audio CDs (without piano playback).

• Supports an external CD changer with a combination of PianoCDs and standard audio

CDs (see page 45 for information about the AutoBypass feature).

• Supports up to 99 songs on each disc.

• Provides treble and bass tone controls.

PianoCD Benefits

The best way to play PianoDisc CDs is through an internal or external PianoCD player.

You can also connect a standard CD player to your PDS-228CFX but some of the func-

tionality of CD Mode is not available. The following is a summary of the features gained

by using an internal or external PianoCD player:

• Full control of transport features (play/pause,stop/eject, scan and fast forward/reverse)

from the front panel of the PDS-228CFX and the IR remote.

• Player piano awareness means that you can scan between songs, fast forward, or fast

reverse without adversely affecting playback.

• AutoPlay and GlobalRepeat features can automatically start playback of the CD.

• Song number is displayed on the PDS-228CFX if an internal PianoCD player is

installed. An external PianoCD player displays the song number on its own display.

• Direct song number selection via the IR remote.

• Shuffle is available from the front panel and IR remote when an internal PianoCD play-

er is installed. An external PianoCD player supports Shuffle via the IR remote, or from

the front panel of the PianoCD player.

• No need to adjust audio levels to make a PianoCD player compatible with PDS-

228CFX.

BALANCE

The SYNC function permits adjustments in timing so that the tones of the piano coin-

cide with those of the accompaniment. This allows the listener to make minor adjust-

ments to achieve good synchronization of the music. Decreasing the SYNC, by press-

ing the [1] button, will move the piano forward in time (makes the piano play earlier rela-

tive to the accompanying music). Increasing the SYNC, by pressing the [4] button, will

move the piano backward in time (makes the piano play later relative to the accompany-

ing music).

The BALANCE function controls the mix, or relative volumes, between the symphony

and piano outputs of the PianoDisc system. Moving the bar display toward the “S” (by

pressing the [1] button) raises the volume of the symphony portion of the music relative

to the piano (

i.e.

, by decreasing the piano volume, the PDS-228CFX effectively makes

the symphony louder than the piano). Moving the bar display toward P (pressing the [4]

the indicator “Bypass” will appear in the lower left hand of the display.) BYPASS should

never be engaged while playing a PianoDisc format compact disc, because doing so

will send a high pitched squeal to the right channel of the stereo speakers. Set BYPASS

to OFF during normal operation.

If you frequently switch between playing PianoDisc CDs and standard audio CDs–or, if

you load a multiple “CD changer” with a combination of PianoDisc CDs and standard

audio CDs–set BYPASS to AUTO [3]. The PDS-228CFX will dynamically “sense” the

Enhance Your Listening Experience by Combining Functions.

You can program song lists (each library is allowed its own PRODUCER track) for vari-

ous libraries and play only those selected songs. You can also restrict playback to a sin-

gle library’s songlist [SCOPE:NORM] or you can playback from all libraries’ song lists

[SCOPE:ALL]. Add REPEAT:SHUFFLE and PianoDisc’s MX will randomly play through

only the selections you chose on your list(s) from either a single library or all libraries,

depending on the [SCOPE] setting.

You can also MASK out any libraries whose songs you want to exclude from playback

(when in SCOPE:ALL). MASK:HIDE removes a library from the menu and temporarily

disables it from playback.

For example: Perhaps you have a library of “Christmas” music, which you wish to

exclude from ALL playback after December 25. Simply MASK:HIDE it until next season;

then, choose MASK:SHOW, and select “Christmas.” It now becomes available again for

playback. The PRODUCER TRACK remains intact with the same set of songs.

To master the basic capabilities of the PRODUCER function, refer to page 32 of

FLOPPY DISK mode for step-by-step instructions.

The

PRODUCER function differs from that of FLOPPY DISK Mode by...

1. Allowing you to program non-PianoDisc songs in your PRODUCER Track.

2. Enabling you to create an independent PRODUCER Track for each libr

ary.

Remote Control Type

Information

The PDS-228CFX remote control is an enhanced design which includes the functionali-

ty of the previous remote controls as well as direct access to more features.

It is not necessary to use the Remote Control Type function unless the user has mis-

placed the new remote and has one for the PDS-128, or PDS-128Plus. In any case, it

is best to use the remote that corresponds to your control box.

If there is a problem with your remote, make sure fresh batteries are installed. To deter-

mine your remote type, compare the remote to the picture at the beginning of this sec-

tion (“Remote Control”), which is the PDS-228CFX Remote Control.

Changing Remote Type

By pressing the shift button and the power button at the same time, the remote type will

toggle and the display will indicate the remote type to which you have changed. Press

these two buttons together again to set the next remote type. The remote type can only

be changed from diskette or

Appendix A

PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

System Exclusive Messages

When using the PDS-228CFX to record music from an external MIDI device, it is possi-

ble to include system exclusive messages in the MIDI data that will specifically address

the PDS-228CFX. Two such system exclusive messages are the song-naming mes-

sage and the transpose-masking message.

Song-Naming

In Disk mode only, an alternative to manually naming recorded songs is to send a sys-

tem exclusive message containing the song title along with the song’s MIDI data. The

song title will then appear automatically when recording is stopped. The format for the

song-naming system exclusive message is as follows:

F0 Start of system exclusive

00 00 2A PianoDisc ID bytes

00 PDS-228CFX product ID byte

01 PDS-228CFX device ID byte

01 Song-naming command byte

... 20 character bytes (song title)

00 End-of-name byte

F7 End of system exclusive

The characters of the title must be converted to hexadecimal (base 16 equivalents of

the decimal ASCII values) using the conversion table provided on the following page.

Any unused character bytes, such as those left over when a title length is less than the

maximum amount of 20 characters, should be “00”. It is important that the system

exclusive message remains the proper length of 29. For example, to name a song (or

change its name to) “Moonlight Sonata,” the following system exclusive message should

be recorded at the beginning of the song:

F0 00 00 2A 00 01 01 4D

6F 6F 6E 6C 69 67 68 74

20 53 6F 6E 61 74 61 00

00 00 00 00 F7

Appendix B

66 PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

To convert a character in a song title, locate the character in the table, and then read the

first half of the character byte from the left column and the second half from the top row.

For example, the letter “M” would be represented by the byte “4D.”

Transpose-Masking

The following procedure is NOT NECESSARY if you are playing PianoDisc Music Library

diskettes. It may be useful if you are recording your own piano and symphony music

using an external sequencer. If you use the PianoDisc system only to play PianoDisc

Music Library diskettes or to record piano performances on a PianoDisc with the Record

option, you may skip the “Transpose-Masking” sub-section.

The TRANSPOSE function of the PDS-228CFX is a useful function, but can cause prob-

lems with drum tracks (or any unpitched instruments, percussion, or special effects)

where MIDI notes should stay constant even if the song is played in a different key.

Before recording a song, decide which MIDI channels should be masked so that they will

not be affected by transposition. The transpose-masking system exclusive message for

the PDS-228CFX should be sent (while recording the song) in the following format:

F0 Start of system exclusive

00 00 2A PianoDisc ID bytes

00 PDS-228CFX product ID byte

01 PDS-228CFX device ID byte

02 Transpose-masking command byte

... 16 character bytes

F7 End of system exclusive

Table 1. CHARACTER CONVERSION.

Note: The song title is centered automatically on the PDS-228CFX display. Do not

place any “00” or “20” bytes before the song title character bytes.

Note: This feature is not available in

mode.

67PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

The 16 channel bytes correspond to MIDI channels 1 through 16 (the first byte refers to

MIDI channel 1, the second to channel 2, etc.) If the channel is to be masked, the byte

should be “01,” while unmasked channel bytes should be “00.” For example, to record a

song with MIDI channels 4, 10, and 11 remaining unchanged by the TRANSPOSE func-

tion, the following system exclusive message would be used:

F0 00 00 2A 00 01 02 00

00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00

01 01 00 00 00 00 00 F7

The transpose-masking map defaults to all channels–except 10–unmasked for each

song if no system exclusive message is sent along with the song data. The transpose

masking will affect only the song with which it is recorded. It will have no effect on any

following songs.

Note: Channel 10 is automatically masked for transpose since it is the standard per-

cussion channel.

68 PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

WARNING

PianoDisc has done everything possible to assure that diskettes made by other manufacturers are compatible with

the PianoDisc System. However, we CANNOT GUARANTEE that software diskettes produced by other manufac-

turers will play back satisfactorily on the PianoDisc system. In many cases, the music on these other diskettes was

not produced with the intent of being played on a reproducing piano system as sophisticated as the PianoDisc, and

the results can be disappointing. Please consult your PianoDisc dealer before purchasing other manufacturer’s

diskettes to make sure that they are compatible.

*Because the XG format uses slightly different instrument selections than G

eneral MIDI, the PDS-228CFX will make

educated instrument substitutions to obtain the most satisfactory playback of such files.

The PDS-228CFX has the ability to play the following music libraries:

• PianoDisc®

• PianoDisc Symphony

• PianoDisc PianoCD®

• Yamaha® PianoSoft™ for the Disklavier®

• Yamaha PianoSoft Plus (for the TG100, DOM30, and XG*)

• Alfred’s Educational Series (for the Disklavier®)

• Other minor software providers of Disklavier music software

It can also play S

tandard MIDI Files by...

• Tune 1000 Corporation

• Turbo Music

• Other GM commercial software diskette (make sure they are “Type 0”)

• S

tandard MIDI Files you make at home or download from the Internet (“Type 0” only)

tandard MIDI Files

A S

tandard MIDI File (SMF) uses a file format which contains the necessary data to repro-

duce music on equipment capable of reading and processing the data. Most commercial

eneral MIDI (GM) MIDI files are released as “Type 0” Standard MIDI Files. “Type 0” is sim-

ply a single-track file. This is the most readable and accurate way of playing back a MIDI file.

The PDS-228CFX is capable of playing the piano when a piano part or patch change for an

acoustic piano exists on any MIDI channel. You must have the Symphony Option or an

external tone module for the PDS-228CFX to play any additional sounds which are usually

included on GM SMF disks. There are “educational” GM disks available which allow PDS-

228CFX users to learn to play the piano. See

Appendix D

for information on setting the left

and right hand piano parts for this type of disk.

Appendix C

Music Software Formats

69PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

Using Educational Software

The PDS-228CFX offers the user the opportunity to learn how to play the piano. With

such software as the Yamaha Alfred’s Educational Series (for the Disklavier) or GM

Educational software (like Turbo Music’s “You’re the Star”), you can even customize the

lesson and piano playback. Make sure you read the materials carefully before you use

them.

The PDS-228CFX user must understand on which “channel” the left and right hand

parts are located. The music materials which come with the diskettes should have this

information included. To get started, read the section which describes the type of edu-

cational software you are using.

Using Yamaha® Educational Software

(Yamaha® Alfred’s or the Yamaha® “You Are the Artist” series)

To use Yamaha® educational software in FLOPPY DISK mode, place the Yamaha®

educational diskette into the floppy drive.* Press the PRODUCER button on the remote

control or front panel of the control box. This feature allows the user to toggle the left

and right hand parts as desired. When “RESET” is “OFF,” the PDS-228CFX will play the

Yamaha® Diskette while keeping the “Left” and “Right” hand parts “ON” or “OFF” (as

specified on the display) throughout disk playback. When “RESET” is “ON”, the PDS-

228CFX will reset the left and right parts to “ON” at the beginning of the next song.

Press the button below “OK” and then “Play” to get started.

*To use Yamaha® educational software files copied into

: First, go to the library

where the file(s) have been saved. Then—using the [SCAN << >>] buttons—scroll

through the titles to find the one you wish to use. Next, press [PRODUCER]. Finally,

choose EDUC. (This instructs

Mode to treat the file as an educational type.) Now,

you can toggle the left and right hand parts and RESET as per the above instructions.

Using Turbo Music G

eneral MIDI SMF Disks

To use Turbo Music’s “You’re the Star” or other educational GM SMF disks, you will need

to set the channels for the “Left” and “Right” hand parts. The documentation which

comes with the educational software will tell you what the educational instrument is and

what channel it is on. Only use educational songs which use the acoustic piano as the

educational instrument (or “Feature Performer Part” for Turbo Music diskette). You will

notice that Turbo Music uses channel 1 for the “Left” hand part and channel 4 for the

“Right” hand part. The default values for the PDS-228CFX are channel 3 for the “Left”

and channel 4 for the “Right”. You must change the “Left” part for Turbo Music. This is

explained in the “EDUCATION” sub-section (under the “Diskette Mode” section).

Appendix D

70 PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

Once the channels are set correctly, then you can get started.

If you are accessing educational files in Disk Mode*

: Follow the same directions given

on page 69, “Using Yamaha Educational Software.”

If you are accessing educational files in MX

: First, go to the library where the file has

been saved. Then-using the [SCAN << >>] buttons-scroll through the titles to find the

one you wish to use. Next, press [PRODUCER]. Finally, choose EDUC. (This instructs

Appendix E

72 PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

Connecting a PDS-228CFX to a Stereo

Make sure all power is turned off before connecting any electrical cables.

Hooking up the PDS-228CFX to a speaker system requires two audio cables. Shielded

cables are preferred and should have RCA-type connectors. RCA cables are available

at most electronic stores. The PDS-228CFX rear panel includes a set of RCA stereo

output jacks for use with powered speakers or a stereo amplifier system.

All sounds, which could include Symphony, Audio IN (if attached to a microphone or

other audio device), and CD IN (from a CD player or other audio device), are mixed to

the Audio OUT signal.

Attach Audio OUT to either powered speakers or to a stereo amplifier by connecting

one RCA cable for each channel, left and right. For a stereo amplifier, connect one end

of the cable to Audio OUT Left and the other end to the AUX IN Left (or other line level

input). Repeat for the right channel. Once the connections have been made, select the

corresponding input on the front panel of the stereo amplifier (usually Aux.). Consult

your stereo’s user manual for additional information. See diagram below.

Appendix F

73PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

Connecting the PDS-228CFX to a Computer

Make sure all power is turned off before connecting any electrical cables.

To connect the PDS-228CFX to a computer, extra hardware and additional knowledge

on the part of the user is required. The PDS-228CFX may be used with commercial

sequencers, music software and devices which communicate through MIDI.

A sequencer can be used to edit, write, and play music on musical instruments that

support MIDI–like the PDS-228CFX. Assuming that the MIDI ports have been config-

ured properly for your computer, almost any musical piece can be patched or performed

through the PDS-228CFX PASSTHROUGH mode. (Please consult your computer

hardware and software user’s manuals and test your MIDI setup before connecting the

PDS-228CFX.) Review the PASSTHROUGH function described in this manual.

The diagram below illustrates a basic setup of the PASSTHROUGH function.

NOTE: Hardware and software required include: computer, music software, MIDI port,

5-PIN MIDI cable, and the PDS-228CFX System. Also, PianoDisc CANNOT GUARAN-

TEE that external software and MIDI devices will be compatible with the PianoDisc sys-

tem. Please consult all equipment user’s manuals and your PianoDisc dealer for more

information. Results may vary.

Appendix G

74 PianoDisc PDS-228CFX

The PDS-228CFX is equipped with memory technology that allows changes in the sys-

tem software to be made by inserting a software update diskette and following the

update procedure. This eliminates the need for inconvenient handling of the unit to

upgrade the internal programs, and assures the user of state-of-the-art performance for

years to come. For information regarding the latest in PianoDisc updates, please

contact your PianoDisc dealer or visit our web site at www.pianodisc.com.

To update the PDS-228CFX control unit:

APPENDIX M

Quiet Time/Silent Function

This addendum is for the PDS-228 player system equipped with a quiet time mute rail.

The purpose of the mute rail is to keep the hammers from touching the strings but yet

maintain the touch of the piano. At the same time, the sensor strip under the keys

sends information to the control box sound card then to the headphones or speakers.

The purpose of the mute rail is to silence the piano for private listening.

NOTE: The piano must be equipped with the record option and a sound card in the

control box.

How to use the Quiet Time/Silent function:

A. Muting the piano

1. Locate the Quiet Time lever under the keybed (left side).

2. Move the lever to the right to mute the piano.

B. Selecting the "Floppy Mode"

1. Press the "Power" button at the far left side of the control box.

2. Press the "C/F/X" button once.

3. Press "FD" (floppy disk) button 1, then press "OK" button 4.

C. Selecting a sound

1. Press the "Mode" button once. (Button with 3 pages under the screen)

2. Press button 2 or "KBRD" button once.

3. Press button 3 or "ACMP" button once.

4. Press button 3 or "YES" button once.

NOTE: Now the control box will display "Accompaniment Mode" and the sound

selection on the screen.

5. For a private session, plug headphones into the left side, front port of the

control box. The back port allows speakers to operate as well as the head

phones.

6. Now use buttons 1 and 4 to scan through sound selections. The users guide

(page 64) shows a list of sounds available on the sound card. Only one sound

can be chosen at a time.

7. Use the volume buttons to control the volume.

8. To cancel the Accompaniment Mode, simply press stop twice.
