Music Trades • Feb, 2008 • NEW PRODUCTS: THE LATEST AND GREATEST IN NEW PRODUCT
INTRODUCTIONS
PIANOFORCE IS introducing four new digital player piano products at
NAMM. Employing motion sensing technology and radio wireless
connectivity, the eMotion allows users to control their player piano
literally with the wave of a hand. This unique feature makes the eMotion
extremely user friendly. Embedded in the black and silver ceramic coated
remote is the eMotion's AMOLED color display. The high resolution
makes it easy to read from almost any angle or in any light conditions.
The high resolution Optical record strip is capable of of capturing
500 levels of recording velocity and is compatible with all current
Pianoforce systems. The optical record system in conjunction with
Pianoforce's highly acclaimed closed loop calibration results in
extremely high levels of self adjustment for expression, timing and
repetition. It also features a simple two-piece installation,
double-strike recognition, and single-touch recording.

Utilizing all the features of the new eMotion, Pianoforce has
designed a totally integrated digital wireless player piano system
intended to connect with a home audio system. Instead of a control box
hanging from the piano, the system consists of a sophisticated component
to add to the user's home audio with the ability to connect to the
internet and access the built-in memory or optional hard drive.
It's all transmitted wirelessly to the user's piano.
Pianoforce's Dynamic Speaker System, designed exclusively for
the player piano industry, includes a subwoofer and two satellite
speakers, bringing true stereo of the highest fidelity to the player
piano--and filling a long void in the player piano business.
Manufacturers and installers relied previously on computer speakers or
other multi-media sound systems for the pianos. The Pianoforce Speaker
System brings concert quality sound equal to the world class pianos that
they are installed on.
