AB  - An interface system has been developed allowing for connection of a concert grand piano action and keyboard to a digital electronic music synthesizer. The interface uses machined-steel flags attached to the hammers and keys of the piano action which pass through phototransistor detectors. These detectors are scanned by a microcomputer and information about the velocity and sustained duration of each key depressed is passed on to the synthesizer.
