Petrus Ypma Silent System – User manual
Introduction
With silent practice mode, you can simply plug in your headphones, switch the lever, and play
your piano without disturbing anyone. And with two headphone jacks, you can conveniently
include a listener or play a duet.
When the Silent mode is turned on, the
hammerheads are intercepted before they can touch
the piano
strings. Then, when you press the keys, optical sensors detect the hammer
movement to generate sounds that you can listen to through headphones. Additionally, you
can use the digital piano with MIDI-compatible devices. Even in silent mode, the piano still feels
and plays traditionally for a consistent experience.
Features
The Petrus Ypma Silent System provides intelligent teaching, intelligent accompaniment, and
access to various piano learning applications through Bluetooth.
With 129 built-in sounds, you'll enjoy the rich sound of a Schimmel acoustic piano, and a wide
array of instruments, such as harpsichord, organ, flute, saxophone, electric guitar, and many
more. Plus, you can choose from 7 different reverb effects to recreate the acoustics of a recital
room to a concert hall.
The built-in metronome adds to the learning experience, while the Intelligent Interactive
Connection function allows for connection through the USB-MIDI connector to applications
such as GarageBand, Piano Adventures Player, and others.
