QRS Music Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:QRSM), a leader in
the design, manufacture and distribution of pianos, piano-based audio
and multimedia products, music and piano accessories, today announced
the introduction of PNOscan(TM), the only retrofit recording strip for
pianos that uses optic sensors, eliminating the concern among
discriminating musicians that traditional recording strips change the
feel of the keyboard. With PNOscan(TM) there is no physical contact;
the system works by using optic sensors to monitor the movement of
each key, precisely recreating every detail of the original
performance.
"We anticipate a strong demand for the PNOscan(TM) among current
piano owners as well as new buyers. PNOscan(TM) is an invaluable tool
for people learning to play as well as recording and performing
artists," said Tom Dolan, QRS President and CEO. "QRS has a long
history for setting the standard for technological innovation and
product excellence, and the PNOscan(TM) is yet another example of our
being out in front of the pack in terms of innovation, quality and
value."
The optical sensors record the motions of the keys with meticulous
precision, all without any mechanical interference affecting the
keyboard touch or response. Sustain, soft and sostenuto pedals are
also equipped with optical sensors to support precise levels of
incremental movement to faithfully reproduce every pedaling action as
well. Importantly, PNOscan(TM) captures the full profile of movement
of the key and pedal action over the course of a musical piece,
providing a truly authentic recording of the expressive timing and
dynamics of the individual pianist. Recordings can be output as
universally used standard MIDI files, as well as utilized for more
dynamic playback on the QRS Pianomation(R) system.
The PNOscan(TM) unit itself is extremely sleek and low-profile,
and easy to install. Traditional recording strips can require precise
height positioning and occasional keyboard modifications. These steps
are unnecessary with PNOscan's optical technology.
