Moog has a cool Piano Bar that fits on your piano using some kind of
light technology. It measure the key velocity and force and the
pedals and converts it to MIDI. You can take all your old piano rolls
and get them to play back on the AN1X-electro ragtime. Very expensive-
3X what I paid for the AN1X. Still for a studio it's a great idea.
Now they need to get that same technology to analyse the cabinet
vibrations and the string vibrations.
So if I had the money, with the AN1x. the Piano Bar and an amp
simulator like the POD(or a 65 Fender Twin) and a few plug ins I
could get 80% of what I want in a dream synth.I'm scared to think
what music technology will look like in another 10 years.
