Description

Edit description

Transform your acoustic piano into a digital powerhouse with the Moog PB-001 PianoBar. Designed for versatility and ease of use, this innovative MIDI interface allows you to merge the timeless charm of your piano with the limitless possibilities of modern technology. The patent-pending Scanner Bar sits discreetly above the keys, capturing every nuance of your performance without altering the tactile experience. Meanwhile, a Pedal Sensor detects pedal movements, ensuring that every expressive detail is faithfully translated into MIDI data.

Housed in an intuitive Control Module, the PianoBar offers over 300 built-in sounds, allowing you to explore new sonic landscapes. With 100 customizable Setups, you can easily manage sounds across 16 MIDI channels, adjust volume and velocity curves, and create programmable zones—all while keeping your acoustic piano's natural sound intact. The portable PianoBar is ready to go wherever your music takes you, fitting seamlessly onto any 88-key piano and bundled in a durable carrying case for worry-free travel.

Mentioned by Music Player Network user Josh Paxton in this January 3, 2011 forum reply.

I remember seeing Bruce Hornsby using one live a few years back. At the time (dunno if he still does this or not) he was recording all of his shows, including MIDI data from the piano via the Piano Bar. Now there are some MIDI files I'd like to get my hands on... [wink emoji]
