Festplattenlaufwerk Klavier Trevor Cook
This is an old player piano brought back to life and modernized with digitally controlled actuators. The actuators themselves are scavenged from the reader arms of scrap hard drives, which are then attached to the original player action with a length of cable. The actuator arms are controlled by a module that translates standard MIDI data, and converts it into a stream of on-off signals for each of 64 output pins. This device can accept control signals from any device that can output MIDI data, from a computer, to even an electronic keyboard.
