PianoDisc's 228CFX: an all-in-one control unit that combines state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled piano performance.

SilentDrive - SilentDrive allows more precise control of the key and pedal solenoids by the PianoDisc 228CFX, PDS-128Plus or PianoCD control units. Precision control means greater fidelity and more life-like performance by the PianoDisc System.

The SilentDrive's four boards consist of one CPU (central processing unit) and three custom ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) chip-driven boards. The boards communicate using a type of serial information link that runs faster than MIDI. This electronic link allows for the almost instantaneous changes to the solenoid's speed when a new command is given. With SilentDrive, the PianoDisc system plays at much quieter levels, with whisper quiet movement of the solenoids and incredible dynamic expression.

 Home Theater Master- Bring a new dimension of enjoyment to your home entertainment system with PianoDisc's Home Theater Master. This ground-breaking remote provides touch screen convenience, while allowing you to customize the controls to your own specifications. Use the Home Theater Master to operate up to twelve home theater components, while adding the ambiance of live entertainment through the music of your PianoDisc equipped piano.

TFT Record Strip - The TFT sensor strip, which PianoDisc calls Touch Film Technology, consists of four pieces of piezo polymer film. Each piece is screen-printed with conductive carbon ink on both sides, resulting is a pattern of 22 sensor fingers. The piezo film sensors are mounted between an aluminum strip and four printed circuit boards. When the pianist strikes a key, its movement slightly stretches the piezo film sensor over the curve in the aluminum strip. This action develops a voltage in the sensor, whose magnitude varies with the force of the key stroke.
