July 01, 2010

1.  $1,000 Free Music   A generous music software package is included with each system.

 

2.  MusiConnect   PianoDisc’s music download technology supports Standard MIDI files, and even converts MIDI instrumentation into digital audio for CD or MP3 playback. 

3.  AlwaysPlay
   This MusicConnect feature ensures that the most obscure MIDI files will play the piano.  If the MIDI file doesnt' have a piano part, AlwaysPlay will assign one automatically.


4.  Educational Software   Scott Houston has created made-for PianoDisc teaching lessons in PianoDisc format; David Higginson’s Professional Chord System 72-lesson series; Piano Wizard and others.

 

5.  PianoVideo-DVD-Blu-ray   First to introduce video with MIDI Sync technology (1994), PianoDisc’s new PianoVideo performances are filmed in high-definition and are available in Blu-ray as well as standard DVDs.

 

6.  PianoDisc Largest Music Library of Artist Series Recordings   These recordings have been made by Grammy winners, Billboard Top Ten Artists and the winners of major international piano competitions, including the world’s two most prestigious, the Tchaikovsky and the Cliburn. 

 

7. Full Play – 88-Notes   When your piano includes a PianoDisc system, you won't be left with keys that don't play or "magic" pedals that fail to impress.  With PianoDisc, all 88 notes will play, and a solenoid is used to actuate the damper mechanism for true reproduction of your favorite performances.

 

8.  Multi-Media Player Systems   The iQ DVD player supports playback from a number of popular media formats, including CD, DVD, USB flash, and even SD/MMC flash cards.

 

9.  Intelligent Design &Flexibility   PianoDisc’s iQ player system is the most flexible product yet.  By working with existing music and video players, you won't even know it's there.  iQ makes it easy to operate your piano because you don't have to learn any new technology.  Seamless integration and future-proof technology ensure your PianoDisc iQ will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

 

10.  Open Architecture   This means support for, and compatibility with, more devices and technologies.  As technology progresses, your piano can too.  PianoDisc systems are upgradeable and have no built-in obsolescence.

 

11.  Audio Previews  discs in our Music Store have two or three song samples which illustrate the playing style of the artist or artists who made them.
 

12.  Safety Certified   PianoDisc products comply with OSHA requirements, and are certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).  With safety certification, PianoDisc products can be used in public venues as well as homes.

 

13.  Reliability   PianoDisc has been in business for over 20 years.  You can be confident that by purchasing a PianoDisc system, you'll be buying from an established company that will be there for you should you ever need assistance in the future.

16.  In-House-Video Production   PianoDisc is committed to Video-DVD-Blu-ray production.  We have a full, in-house video production team and state-of-the-art video equipment.  Among our video titles is Michael Andrew in Concert, featuring the great young crooner who's about to star in a new Broadway musical based on Jerry Lewis' "Nutty Professor".

 

17.  Leader in Innovation   With a strong patent portfolio, PianoDisc places a high value on innovation. That's why PianoDisc products feature many exclusive technologies that the competition simply cannot copy.  Among these technologies is SilentDrive, which allows more precise dynamic control of the piano’s keys and pedal. The result is greater fidelity, expression and unparalleled low-volume control.

 

18.  First Internet Connected Piano   Opus7 was the first reproducing piano system to fully integrate with home networks.  It was also the first to offer true stereo accompaniment along with a piano performance in a single standards-compliant music file. While Opus7 has had these features for years, the competition still struggles to keep up.

 

19.  First Streaming Digital Internet Radio  for Opus7 systems. PianoDisc’s Internet “radio” stations deliver music and programming directly to your piano in real-time.  While competing products just play the piano, Opus7 technology can include stereo instrumental and vocal accompaniment as well.  Our "Classical and More" channel provides 24-hour royalty-free music, an ideal solution for hotels and restaurants.
