Seems that the manual describes another possibility : You use a 
commercial  music CD, play your own solo, and play back both together - 
the floppy or Flash disk uses the CD midi code as its time code.
Gorgeous !
But      1st   : How do I record this ? The manual looks at me with a 
mysterious smile...
     (I feel like Yamaha has been offering me a yumm(ah)y ice cream pot 
but no spoon... )

            2nd : Does that work with a homemade music CD ? Like : I 
could record myself on CD, accompanied by the Disklavier and my mourning 
dog, then play the song and dog back, with the DKV playing from the 
floppy. The difference with PianoSoft would be that if you transpose the 
DKV (let's say a third down) , the singer will be out of key. With 
PianoSoft, the singer transposes too... Not very musical most of the 
time, but funny and weird, thus useful. The  Simon and Garfunkel Bass 
Duet is an experience one should not miss ! Transpose an octave down, 
serve immediately...

Could the Mark III  Disklavier be like an iceberg : silent, beautiful 
and made invisible for 90 percent of its size and capacities ?  

Oyogunoyo !
