<BR>Ron. Even I understood what Bill said. That kind of application would be great. But, again, to tune a pano, NO.

<BR>| The ingenious part in this system is the rapid conversion of the
<BR>| analog signal (amperage in the wires) to digital. Once digital,
<BR>| Yamaha's new technology comes into play, the midi/firewire
<BR>DisKlavier
<BR>| Mark VI. The amperage in the piano wire directly drives the
<BR>real-time
<BR>| digital waveform which can be supplied to the workstation on the OS
<BR>| of your choice. A giant step forward for mankind, that ability to
<BR>| plug your digital effects apps directly into a real live, organic
<BR>| waveform. At least a great step forward for computer gamers.
