SILENT Piano™ conversion kit RSC2

What is SILENT Piano™?

What is SILENT Piano™?

When the SILENT Piano™ function is activated, the hammers will no longer hit the strings and instead, a highly sophisticated sensor-technology captures all movements of the keys and sends them to the digital tone module. Play a real acoustic piano with headphones at any time, day or night without being disturbed or disturbing others.

Pure, natural sound.

Pure, natural sound.

Three proprietary technologies work together to emulate the natural feeling and sound of an acoustic piano in your headphones. Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) recreates the resonance of the strings, soundboard and case. Our advanced binaural sampling method simulates the sound you hear when sitting at the piano. Smooth Release Technology models the subtle interactions of the piano strings with the damper.

Find your voice.

Find your voice.

The world-renowned Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands are two of many digital voices available in your headphones including electric pianos, harpsichords, organs, strings, choir and synth pad.

Every nuance, every note.

Every nuance, every note.

Our patented non-contact Optical Sensor System continuously measures the movement, timing, depth and force of every key attack and release to faithfully capture and reproduce the subtle nuances of your performance.

Specially designed Hammer shank stopper.

Specially designed Hammer shank stopper.

Our specially designed Hammer shank stopper is the result of refining our SILENT Piano™ technologies for over 25 years. This expertly installed device will allow you to silence the piano at any time without affecting the piano's touch or playbility.
