Silent Upright Pianos: The Inside Story
|
|
Quick Silent System™
The Quick Silent System for upright pianos combines a hammer restraint mechanism with optical sensors and digital tone generation. A shift of the center pedal stops the hammers from striking the strings, outwardly silencing the piano, while the sensors and tone generator then digitally reproduce the acoustic piano sound. |
| System activation |
- A hammer shank stopper, operated by the center pedal, silences the acoustic sound.
- An electronic control unit is attached below the right side of the keyboard, with power switch and pilot lamp, headphone jacks, and volume and reverb controls.

Optical key sensors |
Optical key sensors |
- Individual optical fiber sensors, located beneath the inner end of each key, capture the precise motion of the keys for Silent reproduction.
- Continuous-position sensing accurately registers keystroke force and timing.
- Real-time keystroke information is instantly transmitted to the tone generator.
- Non-mechanical, optical operation leaves key touch and motion unaffected.
| |
| Pedal sensors |
- A continuous sensor for the sustain pedal allows precise half-pedaling control.
- An on/off sensor registers the action of the soft pedal.
|
| Digital tone generation |
- AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) stereo sampling from the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand provides rich, realistic digital sound for Silent piano performance.
- Three selectable reverb effects with continuous depth control simulate chamber and hall acoustics, for an enhanced sense of spatial realism.
- Continuous volume control allows the player to adjust headphone volume levels.
- Adjustable pitch makes it possible to play along with MIDI or audio accompaniment.
| |
| Versatile connections |
- Dual headphone jacks on the face of the control unit allow two people to play, or one to listen in-great for duets, teaching or private serenades.
- MIDI In and MIDI Out terminals let you control other electronic music devices from the piano keyboard, or access the digital piano sound from external equipment like sequencers or computers.
- AUX In and AUX Out terminals make it possible to play along with recorded music through the headphones, or amplify or record the piano's digital performance.
