A self-playing piano is far more than a piano that plays by itself. Here are the modes and options you can build in — from timed background music to live collaborations and your own custom recordings.
Self-playing mode
The heart of the system. Your piano plays music from its internal memory or from an external source. You start it, set the volume, and can even set a timer, so the music begins or stops at a chosen time. Build your own playlists so your favourites are always to hand, group them as you like, and once you press play the music continues until you stop it.
Visual + self-playing mode
Watch a performance on a screen or projector while your own piano plays exactly what the artist is playing — the sight and the live sound together. This pairing of video and music is wonderfully entertaining in all kinds of settings, for you and your guests.
And we can create a custom video-and-music experience just for you: capture your own playing, your child's first pieces, a grandparent at the keyboard — or even a short promotional or documentary film about your company. Years later, you can relive all of it, like a treasured memory.
Record mode (PNOscan)
Record as well as play. Play on your acoustic piano and the system captures your performance, ready to play back in self-playing mode.
And you're not limited to the piano: a performance from any source — a computer or another device — can be saved as a MIDI file and played back on your instrument.
The Trumpeter
QRS created something remarkable: live trumpet playing combined with the piano — a striking, unexpected duet of a live instrument and your self-playing piano.
PNOmation OT
A portable unit that sits on the keys and turns almost any piano into a self-playing instrument — with no modification to the piano at all. Ideal when a permanent installation isn't wanted or possible.
Connect
A solution for two places at once: the pianist and the self-playing piano are in different locations. Whatever a pianist — or a teacher — plays in one place, the piano beside you plays in real time.
