・ Easy operation of your Kawai digital/hybrid piano using a smartphone or tablet

PianoRemote allows various functions of the digital/hybrid piano to be easily selected.

・ Consistent UI design with Kawai digital/hybrid piano touch panel

PianoRemote is designed to allow easy, intuitive operation via a smartphone or tablet.

The user interface is standardised, meaning there is no need to learn new operations.

・ Music player feature that can be used like a music app

PianoRemote includes a wide variety of songs and classical pieces that are built-in to Kawai digital/hybrid pianos.[*2]

This music can be controlled in the same way as a regular music app. However, it’s also possible to change the sound used for playback, allowing songs and classical pieces to be enjoyed with a different tonal character and atmosphere.

・ Interact with music using “Lesson” and “Concert Magic” modes

In addition to listening to the built-in songs and classical pieces, the additional “Lesson” and “Concert Magic” modes allow musicians to practice the music, and non-musicians to enjoy playing pieces and learning rhythm with a single finger.[*3]

・ Control various built-in functions

PianoRemote can be used to control various functions of the Kawai digital/hybrid piano. For example, the Metronome is an essential aid for practise, the Virtual Technician allows the sound and other aspects of the piano to be adjusted to suit one’s person preference, while the Dual and Split functions allow different sounds to be combined for more engaging performances.[*4]
