This would be a good starting point if one wanted to add a soundboard 'experience' to a custom enclosure right, sound input from VST? Case in question: I want to buy a Kawai MP11SE, but also played the Kawai NV5S and liked the feeling / resonance a lot. It's too expensive and heigh for my intended use though. Any tips with regard to choosing material to build the soundboard / ribs from? Great video!
I have those transducers. I use them to inject sine waves to the bridge to relax the bridge strings and soundboard. So you’re recording and injecting opposite waves in real time.. noise cancelling. Does it increase sustain length? Because now the soundboard vibrates less, and doesn’t ingest the energy quickly. I can’t wait to try this next week when I get home! Thanks!!!!
I don't think I'm following you. I'm not recording any sound. I take the sound from the silent system and than amplify them with the two trancducers. So the hammers get stopped just before the strings with a stop rail and the sound is a digital piano projected on the soundboard. Don''t expect to much from it though. It's not a massive sound. It's just a way to get the volumes between playing softly acoustic and complete silence. Great if you want to practice in the evening but don't like headphones.
@@CoenvanDongen oh! Here is what I thought you were doing: Playing. In real time a computer is recording with microphone. And in real time sending back what you are playing to the transducers, but in inverse wave form - directly to the soundboard. That’s how noise cancelling headphones work. It cancels out the vibration. That’s what I thought you are doing. But now i understand what you are actually doing haha. Much more simple than what i imagined.
There is a mute rail that comes with the silent system. The catch the hammers just before touching the strings. These have optical sensors under the keys.
@@CoenvanDongen So basically you have headphone option or speaker option, but speaker option is the soundboard ? This is incredible . You could install this on any silent system, such as Kioshi and then hook the headphone out to the soundboard instead of a speaker

@@FlyWithNoam This does sound like a really cool concept to try! Any progress?
How did you do this? What hardware is required? I would love to play with this!
There is a link in the section under the video with the details
Sooo if I understand correctly the system picks up the piano and then redirects it to the soundboard to amplify it?
Yes. It gives the possibility to play very quietly without headphones.
gets quieter?
Awesome!
How did you mute the strings? Is this a silent system with optical sensors under the keys, but with the sound output to the soundboard ???

I'm sure there's something I'm missing here?!
What the?
