@@Hainbach Well, automatic pianos exist since 120 years or so and the things you did, could be done this way. At least, it was a kind of computer in 19th century's technology.
What a great experiment! Serendipity at its best. Love the ending where you get a wave of keys. Related story - about 20 years ago I recorded in an old BBC studio in Bristol. They had one of these setup in the middle of a huge live room with midi connected to the control room way up in the gods. The building was quite old and creepy and had lots of old props from BBC dramas that added to the weirdness. The sound engineer enjoyed playing a couple of notes from the control room when a poor cleaner was in the live room by themselves. Haha.
If they had more I would have screamed in joy! This was the only one. I would love to visit Yamaha for a week and work on a three piano piece. I only had three hours for this so I could only catch snippets and ideas for later processing and sharing on Patreon.
You made my day with this! The world would be so much poorer without people like you! Last night I had watched Doctor Mix in the piano room and you sat there in the background and I was wondering what you were up to....
Here's some things you should know about the Disklavier. The grand pianos will have much better repetition. Thing is, you have to put NOTE GAPS BETWEEN NOTES SO THE ACTION CAN RESET. You can get ridiculously good repetition from a Disklavier as long as the keys can return to the rest position before another note is struck. The Disklavier has a maximum note polyphony. This is the max number of notes that can be depressed at the same time. Disklavier Pros have 32 note polyphony, normal systems have 15 note polyphony so you have to consider that. Another thing is that the processor in the Disklavier has a delay function for adding a delay of 500 milliseconds. This allows the piano ample time to put in gaps on it's own and make sure notes are not too short for the piano to strike them fully. It also makes sure that soft notes will not hit up to 300 milliseconds after hard notes because soft notes need slow key depression.
Amazing. I wish I could play with it too. Seeing the hammers hit the string as you programmed it in DAW must be such a cool experience. Thanks for another interesting video!
Reichian piano blast-beats are my new favorite music genre. There's also a bit earlier that hits an almost footwork-y bounce that's super interesting. Great work as always.
@HAINBACH Along the same lines as this video - You should try and get your hands on a Polyend kit... I've always wanted to experiment with one of those. Adding different materials to each piece of the drum kit e.g. random bits of metal on a cymbal/using a broken cymbal, while the Polyend plays ridiculous patterns. Most importantly bowing cymbals gives me such a sonic hard on... Transposed down and distorted ahhh!
I service Yamaha Disklaviers so as you may guess, I’m not impressed with this abuse. It does have temp sensors to monitor the solenoids for heat. It should shut down to prevent damage. However, not great for the action. It has a calibration routine that sounds kinda like some of this. It plays all the notes using different scales and measures the response of the action in relation to the energy sent. It will create a table in memory to compensate for variations in the action from note to note. I tend to warn the customer before I run it cause it sounds scary.
Hi George Benton, which Disklavier model is this? I'm trying to control Disklaviers with MIDI and none of them play nearly this fast-they choke with even moderate tempo arpeggios. Thanks for any tips!
@@BentonCBainbridge I don't believe there's any difference between models as far as the electronics go. Just different acoustic pianos such as sizes and color. I don't know what is being used in this video.
@@Hainbach The aisatsana part at barbican by aphex twin was great too - i guess this was also done with disklavier ? and there was another guy who "copied" this with a guitar amp hanging from a rope.
The moment you can do childlike crazy things with expensive stuff without the risk of getting a beating. I'd like to hear some of my music on a disklavier myself :)
After watching this I I had to go looking to see where I had seen the word "Disklavier" before, it was here ua-cam.com/video/NJHsT8kEyzs/v-deo.html (Aphex Twin - aisatsana played on a Disklavier Grand sitting on a swinging platform)
Dan Deacon has done some similar work using Midi Piano pushed to the limits. The song "Become a mountain" is a really good example. Beautiful way to use the instrument. Thanks for sharing this experience!
That was so cool. the whole thing sounded like the soundtrack to a quirky sci-fi/drama film. 9:12 was epic!! it's like some creepy heart beat / horror scene in a Kubrick film. Wish I could have heard this in person. Now I want a disklavier lol. We should all pool our money together and fund one somehow haha.
Thank you hainbach this is what everyone who has ever looked at a Disklavier wanted to trIt's Its like one of those ocd things and it feels sooo good to watch this haha
That's so cool. It'd also be awesome to experiment with the Enspire in different acoustic spaces with longer reverbs. Or even, as Kevin B commented, with multiples ones. That would be quite the concert experience. It also reminds me of a 3sat program from years ago, about a piece by Peter Ablinger in which a piano is reciting the Proclamation of the European Environmental Criminal Court.
Very beautiful thank you. If I may suggest some piano by machine songs, check out The Flashbulb's High Tech Lo-fi (For Your Escape), and also Dan Deacon's Build Voice (especially in the making of Bromst vid). Cheers!
I have many friends who are looking for academic courses or formal education on institutions about expanded music, but i think watching your videos is far more enlightening. Hope you have more space in transmitting knowledge, since your examples are clear and very musical. Feeling your love towards music is the key to transmit that inspiration.
Yes, that is one application. Or to record what you play. Or to record a performance and then be able to move the mics around freely. But mostly the same in the old westerns.
Yo my dude. This channel is seriously fucking amazing. I finally have internet after five months of living under a rock and i'm just gonna binge your content for a while haha. Greetings from Argentina.
@@Hainbach Yeah mane, you welcome. Just check your pockets if you are in Buenos Aires, i'd recommend Córdoba. Nicer views and charismatic fuckin people.
@@Hainbach Also, since we are in the midst of a cultural exchange type deal happening here. I'd like to ask you how you got started modifying equipment to make music or if you could just refer me to some source because i'd be psyched for some info. Cheers and thank you in advance.
Amazing! It was fun watching. It probably broke because we came and interrupted, haha. :D Hope Simon the Magpie doesn't challenge you to destroy this one so he can make beats out of it $$$. LOL!
Fucking cool! I think that when the tempo goes too fast, the keys don't get enough time to return to their initial position in order to be played again, that's why you get weird rhythmic variations. That's why some piano's are better than other ones for playing fast. And Yamaha piano's are usually not easy to be played fast in comparison with a Steinway for example. It's all quite physical if you think about it, even though it's all controlled by midi information. Awesome video!
this is the best and only real youtube of the whole event so far and I have seen a lot and I have seen a lot of the youtube... all the other videos are so contrived it's like you were left alone to do what you do... if only they had done the same for the other UA-camrs
Thank you, that means a lot to me. It's not about what they do with you it's how you use the opportunity. I went off on my own the first day, because this is what I had in mind to do for a long time. I had asked Thomann tsr people about this piano but they were vague, so I went and searched for it and explored it without their influence. The staff in the piano room was helpful and left me alone. I am still so happy about this.
@@Hainbach and it shows... I have nothing against the concept of this event at all, and seeing some of my favourite UA-camrs come together was amazing to see. Where I feel they went wrong from someone looking in was to put you in a studio with time constants it stands out like a saw thumb and people cannot be them self as I know them from there own channels. What you did with that piano was amazing and also a dream for me to see as I have always wanted to try pushing midi to the max on a piano too. Thank you for having your idea and sticking to it.
I could see in your face how much you enjoyed the experience on your sine off of the video, and you did not break a very expensive piano which is a testament to the quality of something that was never made to do what you did to it
Yeah, I feel you. I made one studio video that was fun, because it's Sam and me challenging Julian from Native to go beyond the sane on his creation. But I needed that idea first, and it helped that I had put on a show of Julian as artist before I met him as someone from Native. I can't do random, I need an artistic idea to root myself.
@@Hainbach Looking in I really think you all needed that.... I saw many youtubes of people building up to go on this trip and many of you were thinking why me! It was more interesting seeing how you all handled it. I think that having an idea was the better way. Like me I like to plan and it shows that this video was a chance to try something you wanted. I also saw the NAM videos for this year and this felt the same youtubers playing with kit.... I think this could be more in the future let people bend the kit try out what it is not supposed to do and let us the viewer see what this equipment can truly do taken in unexpected directions. Because that is what you do best and why we follow you.
I wouldn't want to be the guy buying this piano after this... But seriously, there were some very inspiring moments there. I wonder how it would sound like with some reverb...
I was doing some explorations with 'Music in the Numbers' software a few years ago, and wondered what 16 channels of midi percussion would sound like. As you might expect, it sounded quite 'busy'. After a minute or so, I began to hear a pulsing staticky sound growing in volume over top of the percussive madness, so stopped the program. The percussion stopped, but the static continued, as if the percussion had driven my sound card insane. Freaked out, I rebooted my computer. The sound persisted AFTER THE REBOOT. It slowly faded away to my immense relief, and I never again experimented with percussion in that fashion.
Oh man, so much fun. :-) You should see a bunch of Yamaha CP4 / 40 on the used market since they just released the CP88 / 76. It samples the 9 foot grand. But it doesn't have keys that press themselves.
Hi! Very nice video. I am interested in experimenting with Yamaha disklavier myself, I have couple of questions: a) is it possible to control action of hammers and dampers separately? b) Is it possible to control action of pedals (legato, una corda, sustain) ? and c) Is Disklavier robust enough for processing heavy midi-files on a long term basis? Thank you once more for the video!
Yamaha needs to give this man his own disklavier.
They need to make the Hainbach Signature model, designed for speed and with better cooling system, and special interfaces.
He'll need a subscription of them...
A strong water cooling system and a much larger PSU could maybe handle this. And the midi controller will need an optimized software xD
And with a special All Notes On CC.
@@RCAvhstape water cooled piano heck yeah

Restarting a piano.
What a time to be alive.
Well, I could have played fine with my hands. But THIS IS THE FUTURE.

I can't imagine how much fun it must be to play these in a good room. Even if only to scare people.
It's fascinating to hear how the notes start blending together into a texture. Somehow this reminded me of Philip Glass.
Or Steve Reich!
Clearly the next step is a MIDI splitter and a round-robin plugin to split faster notes to multiple pianos over multiple channels ;)
If they had more I would have screamed in joy! This was the only one. I would love to visit Yamaha for a week and work on a three piano piece. I only had three hours for this so I could only catch snippets and ideas for later processing and sharing on Patreon.

Thank you! UA-cam is my sandbox now, especially since I made good friends with a few like-minded artists over the weekend.
quite a lot of parts of this remind of Steve Reich, super cool stuff sir!
When it stays in those narrow ranges, you're right! I was expecting something a bit more Conlon Nancarrow, but this works!

I will make my fishing boat emit these sounds
i was expecting him to play old black midis that started the whole genre like bad apple 31K or necrofantasia 166K or LBSFS 21K
Hell even something later that popularized it while not quite being full black midi itself, like UN Owen was her
"I think I have to restart the piano"
You did something on my bucketlist.
Yes, it was in mine too! Now once again with more time would be great.
@@Hainbach Understandable, hope you get that change soon! Great video!
