Piano docking iQ

The PianoDisc iQ is NOT just another iPod gimmick. In fact, the iQ isn't an

iPod dock, and doesn't even require an iPod. It is actually a control unit

that allows ANY music player to be used in conjunction with a reproducing

player piano. The iPod looks cool, and is therefore used in some of the

marketing shots, but is by no means required.

When you play music through the iQ, the piano's keys move up and down, and play

along with other recorded instruments and vocals. The result is a dynamic

performance where the piano accompanies pre-recorded audio or video. The idea

behind iQ is to allow a reproducing player piano to be compatible with modern

technology, and not require the owner to install ugly electronics or learn

another new device.

With the iQ, the piano is totally controlled via your music player—it will even

raise and lower the volume of the piano as you adjust the volume on your music

player. Each piano key can play at hundreds of different velocity levels, from

fortissimo (very loud) to pianissimo (very quiet). It really is both cool and

simple--and is NOT an iPod dock.
