Business Wire
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. About QRS
