RECORDING & MUSIC PRODUCTION 

With the C. BECHSTEIN Record app, recording your piano playing is as easy as child's play.

 

C. Bechstein Connect connects to popular DAW solutions such as Logic, Ableton, Cubase and others, making it easy to record piano parts and produce music with plug-ins, loops and samples.

Features and Technical Details

Sensor System

The instruments contain a sensor strip under the keyboard that optically and therefore contactlessly records the piano playing very precisely and translates it into MIDI signals – 88 optical key sensors and 3 optical pedal sensors continuously record your playing with a sampling rate of more than 200,000 data points / sec. 

 

The authentic feel of your acoustic instrument remains unchanged.

C Bechstein Connect App

The app allows you to control your C. Bechstein Connect system.  It allows you to carry out digital fine-tuning of your piano independently at the highest level – simply, intuitively and in real time.
