Business Wire
QRS Music Technologies, Inc. (OTC: QRSM), a leader in the
design, manufacture and distribution of pianos, piano-based audio
and multimedia products, music and piano technologies, announced
the entry of it’s new PNOscan key sensing technology into several
new markets. Now making an entrance into the already established
markets for silent practice pianos and use for stage and studios,
QRS marries its advanced PNOscan technology with three newly
released technologies, expanding the potential of the PNOscan
Technology even further. The QRS Grand and Upright Piano Key Stop
rail, PNOsound Practice Modules, and Pianoteq’s sound modeling
software are now using PNOscan Technology.
“The touch, sound and feel of a real acoustic piano are just as
important when you practice as when you perform. We have been able
to marry those qualities of the piano to the sounds you would
expect to hear when practicing, but with the use of headphones,
only the pianist can hear the performance, and doesn’t disturb
those around him,” said Tom Dolan, QRS President and CEO. “With
PNOscan’s continuous scanning capability we are able to model
sounds around the full profile of the keys and pedals movement. We
are no longer restricted to modeling only what the MIDI standard
delivers. The result is a much more realistic sound. Our
relationship with sound modeling experts at Pianoteq allows both
studios and artists a much better piano sound experience than
previously available.”
QRS has released three basic versions: one to be added to an
existing piano or factory installed on a Story & Clark Piano,
one that records, and one that utilizes the Pianoteq software
application on a Netbook or PC. “We strongly believe we are able to
deliver the right performance at the right price to lead this
segment of the market. The ability of PNOscan’s patent-pending
technology and unique approach to optically sensing the movement of
every key and pedal, are second to none in this application.”
PNOscan was introduced in late 2006 and is still considered the
best and most accepted key-sensing technology on the market. It has
been gaining popularity with serious musicians, studios, composers,
and performance venues ever since. PNOscan bridges the gap between
the features and benefits of acoustic and digital pianos.
Installed underneath the key bed, PNOscan uses optical sensors
to track the movement of every key and pedal movement as it is
played and translates the sound for output via MIDI or USB ports,
creating connectivity to the digital world and the many
applications currently available through laptops, PCs and Macs.
PNOscan can be retrofit by any Story & Clark dealer onto any
acoustic piano and is a standard installation on all Story &
Clark pianos. For more information about PNOscan, visit
