Finger Piano Share plays your Disklavier via WiFi (video)

Developers at Yamaha seem to be having plenty of fun with their iPhones -- at least, that's the impression they've made this year at CEATEC. Not only have we seen an app that lets you boss around a robotic chanteuse, but they've also put together a little something called Finger Piano Share. Don't let the video fool you, folks -- this is more than just a MIDI controller. Supporting up to ten users at once, this guy not only lets you remotely play your MIDI-enabled Disklavier via Wi-Fi, but you can record your little jam sessions (using the location-aware augmented reality app Sekai Camera) for playback whenever someone goes to the site of the original performance. Sounds like a recipe for a disastrous conceptual art piece if we ever heard one! Video after the break.

[Hexydes Posted Oct 12th 2009 1:46PM]

I'm overwhelmed by the practicality of this invention.

[Hitman Posted Oct 12th 2009 1:48PM]

WOW! That's just mind boggling...
The fact that they're able to send electronic impulses to produce those physical movement on the keyboard with such accuracy is just phenomenal...

Yea, finally an app that'll send electronic impulses to my dick from wifi!

It would be better if it wasn't fake.

in a completely unrelated matter to the rise of hacked computers...there has been an increase in the number of reports of haunted houses in the area. homeowners admit not only are their casio keyboards playing on their own in the middle of the night but the ghosts seem to be using their computers when theyre not home too. neighborhood watch teams have been equipped with the same matching plaid scarf in hopes to confuse and scare the piano playing ghosts away. keyboard playing cool cat unavailable for comment...

I concur - That robot blinking and singing spooked the hell out of me.

[EatMoreBread Posted Oct 12th 2009 2:58PM]

Is that guy on the right crying? Is that some form of piano emo?

I wouldn't mind dating the robot-girl, except her voice sounds like a chipmunk!

[glennS Posted Oct 12th 2009 3:17PM]

Finger Piano sounds too much like Skin Flute in terms of its connotation.

[jsafavi Posted Oct 12th 2009 3:35PM]

I'm actually scared to go to japan or wherever it is.
