Concert Grand - MAS-AI-Robot Recording

Concert Grand - MAS-AI-Robot Recording

The Musical Arts School team specialises in remastering existing piano libraries to optimise them for live performance and practice.

In order to come close to the perfection of high-end acoustic instruments for live playing, the team is also developing an AI-based robot for recording new libraries. This should make it possible to handle the additional complexity of recording with these new requirements. This robot is to be used to create an own high-quality recording of a concert grand piano.

If we are unable to find a suitable co-operation partner for our flagship product, we would also use this recording. The product would have the following features.
