228CFX - The Flexible Player Piano System
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
Imagine your piano
reproducing the performances of Rachmaninoff, Horowith or Rubinstein -
some of the greatest artists the world has known. Imagine listening to
Broadway show tunes, jazz improvisations or Latin favourites - every
genre of music - played on your piano. Imagine PianoDisc.
PianoDisc lets you
set the stage for any occasion, with the perfect musical selections
played as vividly as if the artists were performing them right before
your eyes.
Now PianoDisc
expands your possibilities even further with the 228CFX, a virtual
reality player system that offers all of PianoDisc's unique features in
one powerful package. With the 228CFX, you can play 3.5" floppy disks,
specially formatted PianoCDs or even access Music Expansion, PianoDisc's
extraordinary flash memory storage system. The 228CFX also features
PianoDisc's revolutionary SilentDrive system, which allows your piano to
play with full expression, even at whisper soft levels.
PianoDisc's 228CFX:
an all-in-one control unit* that combines state-of-the-art technology
and unparalleled piano performance. (*only with all upgrade options)
SilentDrive
SilentDrive is
PianoDisc's exclusive, patented technology. Its four boards consist of
one CPU (central processing unit) and three custom ASIC
(Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) chip-driven boards. The boards
communicate using a type of serial information link that runs faster
than MIDI. This electronic link allows for the almost instantaneous
changes to the solenoid's speed when a new command is given. With
SilentDrive, PianoDisc systems play at much quieter levels, with whisper
quiet movement of the solenoids and incredible dynamic expression.
Remote Control
Full-featured
remote control provides convenient access to your favourite songs and
features. Control the volume, tempo, transpose or balance. Easy to use
reset feature returns your PianoDisc to preset levels.
