Re: Smartkey

Hi Jean

I see. I have a CVP 209 Clavinova which has "Guide Lights". These are 
lights (Leds) above each note and light up waiting for you to play. 
The piano will not play until you play the right note. The CVP can 
also be set to play back if you hit ANY key, this is useful for 
getting the timing right and "Sounding Good" with just ONE finger.
One other great feature is the "Score" this will display the notes on 
a staff like real music.
