piano into a reproducing player piano. A hardware and software
process can store and transport Musical Instrument Digital
Interface ("MIDI") information as an analog signal. This process
gives QRS the ability to store, and wirelessly transmit, MIDI
performance data in an analog format from a controller (CD, video,
cassette, DVD, DAT or Minidisc) to the receiver on the piano. This
creates numerous possibilities. For example, most off-the-shelf
audio equipment has a left and right channel available for use.
State-of-the-art technology permits QRS to store the digital signal
in an analog format on the left channel of the software which
operates those players. This leaves the right channel available for
live prerecorded audio music, even vocal recordings. Pianomation(R)
blends them together in perfect harmony and perfect
synchronization. The Pianomation(R) MIDI System is the first
product of its kind to "marry" analog and digital technology. QRS
