DKV-850 and Smart PianoSoft

2015-01-16 by r_leblanc@...

I’m thinking about purchasing the DKC-850 for my Mark II XG for a variety of reasons and have a few basic questions.

The one area of DKC-850 functionality that I’m the least familiar is with playing Smart PianoSoft disks.

1) I assume the Smart PianoSoft disks need to be transferred to the DKC-850’s internal memory. Is this accomplished by first copying the Smart PianoSoft disk to a USB flash drive (or USB hard drive) and then coping onto the DKC-850?

2) When playing back a Smart PianoSoft disk along with the prescribed audio CD, will the DKC-850 automatically make any required CD audio pitch adjustments if the CD is not tuned to A440 or does the pitch correction need to made manually?

3) I noticed that when I select “Mark II with DKV-850” on the YamahaMusicSoft web site, the “Piano Accompaniment for CDs” option is not displayed as a selectable Product Subtype. Interestingly, Piano Accompaniment for CDs” is displayed if selecting “Mark III with DKV-850”, “DKC-850” or “Mark IV”. Anyone know why this is?
