Disklavier

At the 2011 Winter NAMM show Yamaha introduced Disklavier Remote Live technology.

Remote Live essentially is a performance consisting of video and audio PLUS MIDI…broadcast from a single location to multiple locations simultaneously…all perfectly synchronized.

Yamaha invites you to join us for a SNEAK PEEK into our next event as we continue testing and perfecting the Remote Live service. This unique display will showcase Jazz Crossings, an upcoming live transcontinental piano concert that will link Internet-connected Disklavier pianos, audiences and performers at The Wild Beast Music Pavilion in Valencia, California, with the Yamaha Piano Salon in midtown Manhattan.

This concert is made possible through the collaboration between California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and Yamaha Corporation.

Remote Live will be used to bring you the second half of the performance, featuring an ensemble of approximately 15 people. Entitled “Crossings” you can see and hear CalArts? extraordinarily vibrant Latin Jazz Band, directed by pianist-composer, David Roitstein, also Chairperson of CalArts? Jazz Program, in an interdisciplinary collaboration with members of CalArts? School of Theater, directed by Marissa Chibas. The music will be combined with stirring stories about people who have crossed frontiers separating diverse nations and cultures.

You'll enjoy an "inside look" of this concert from the home of someone who is receiving the broadcast, complete with the keys and pedals of that person's Disklavier moving in perfect sync with what is being seen on his laptop. Imagine how fantastic it would be if YOU could receive broadcasts like these in YOUR home on YOUR Disklavier.

DATE: Saturday, April 23
TIME: Remote Live Broadcast starts at approximately 9:15-9:30 PM EDT, 6:15-6:30 PM PDT (Concert starts at 8:30 PM EDT, 5:30 PM PDT) 
WHERE: Go to: http://4wrd.it/CalArtsApril23

Given the tremendous consumer demand for Netflix, AppleTV, Roku and similar streaming technologies, Yamaha's pioneering RemoteLive technology provides an exciting, historic, networked, Internet-ready entertainment experience. Once Yamaha completes our testing activities, we are hoping to make this service compatible with the latest model E3 and Mark IV instruments, sometime in 2012.

Is there a way to read the files on Yamaha Pianosoft Disklavier floppy disks

Good morning, everyone.

The bi-coastal event between CalArts and Yamaha Artist Services in NYC should be an amazing event that beautifully demonstrates Yamaha's Remote Live technology. There is another side to the story as well.

During the concert, pianist David Rosenboom (http://adagio.calarts.edu/~david) will perform a bi-coastal piano duet with pianist JB Floyd (www.jbfloyd.com). In this case, there will be a piano-to-piano connection that is established with a commercial software program called Internet MIDI. Some of the pictures at the website referenced in the original email (http://4wrd.it/CalArtsApril23) show Internet MIDI in action during the preparation for this concert. 

Internet MIDI is a $69 that was developed by TimeWarp Technologies (www.timewarptech.com) and is now part of the software portfolio of Zenph Sound Innovations (www.zenph.com). It is the only commercially available program of its kind. Internet MIDI makes it possible to connect any two MIDI instruments together over the Internet, including Disklaviers, digital pianos, and so forth. You can see some video of the program in action at the 2010 Intel Visionary Conference here:

http://www.timewarptech.com/Pages/Products/InternetMIDI/InternetMIDIVideoDemos.html

The program is regularly being used for long distance teaching as well as concert performances. A piano teacher named Kristin Shoemaker (www.machiapiano.com) is actually using the program to teach kids 8,000 miles away in rural Zambia. Renown jazz organist, Tony Monaco (www.b3monaco.com), is using the program to give jazz and Hammond B3 lessons to students around the world.

The duet performed between David and JB is a bit unusual in that the listening experience at each end of the bi-coastal connection will be somewhat different. In the hypothetical situation of no Internet delays, electrical signals can travel from coast to coast with very low latency. However, the Internet itself, with its switches and gateways, introduces a certain amount of latency. And then the Disklavier has its own mechanical latency. For these reasons, one would not be able to do a successful bi-coastal performance of a traditional piano duet, such as March Militaire by Franz Schubert. However, if the piece is conceived in a musically elastic fashion, you can actually perform a duet.

I take of my hat to David and JB, musical pioneers in this area!

Disklavier fans may be interested to know that Zenph Sound Innovations now has a portfolio of 4 software products that support Disklavier specifically as well as other MIDI keyboard instruments. We are planning the release of a reperformance editor for Disklavier in June. This is the only commercial program capable of properly editing the high resolution XP MIDI data generated by a Disklavier Pro. Classroom Maestro adds an intelligent musical staff display to long distance lessons given by Internet MIDI. Home Concert Xtreme makes it possible for you to learn music or perform interactively with MIDI accompaniments ranging from beginner pieces to piano concertos and even enjoy automatic page-turning.

PianoBench
