I confess I had no idea that is was intended as a learning aid. A control box on the front of the piano enables an on/off switch, volume control with a dial, and buttons to change the piano’s settings.I too have enjoyed watching a few of these on youtube.The system can control the volume (velocity) of each key to play a note softer or louder depending on the MIDI information received.The piano takes control on the damper (sustain) pedal to create a realistic performance.Performance - The piano is able to decode the MIDI information and schedule each key to create the intended sound, even if the information sent to the piano is impossible to play.

The piano retains its normal functionality, even while the piano is playing! A pianist is able to practice or play a song along with the piano.

Easily record songs to MIDI files using a digital keyboard and instantly play it back on the piano.

Use PianoStream, a MIDI streaming app, to play songs on the piano like a radio for hours.

Programs like Synthesia and Piano From Above make it easy to instantly play any song.

Connect to the piano via wired connection to a computer or Bluetooth connection to a smart device.

MIDI files are widely used, and any song can be found in this file type.

Play any song from a MIDI file, which is a file type (similar to mp3) that saves the specific notes of a song.

Overall I’m very satisfied with the way the piano turned out, and I’m excited to use it in the future.Ī document detailing the process of building the player piano can be seen here:

Not only that, but once the $10, 000 player piano is purchased, you have to purchase extra apps and songs to play on it. While a player system from Yamaha or Pianodisc cost upwards of $10, 000, I built my own system for a relatively cheap $650. One of my goals in creating this was to show that it’s possible to replicate amazing things for little money, and I think I proved this. I wanted to create something like that - something that didn’t only work but also impressed the viewer - for a cheap cost. For a long time I had an Arduino Uno that had been sitting in a drawer, and for the first time I took it out to experiment with it and create something new.įor a long time I had been inspired by player pianos - it’s something about the way the keys move on their own that make them so wonderful.

In early August 2017 I was 15 and looking to partake in some kind of engineering project that would be fun and also help me learn new things.
