Known as the king of musical instruments, the piano has gradually become fixed almost unchanged since the 18th century. However, in the face of today's great wave of all-things intelligence, how will it evolve? Is it to add a high-definition giant screen? Or does networked AI turn passive into active? These are not whimsical, but the real-world results of smart innovation and digital iteration of traditional objects. Because as early as 2015, the technology-based music education brand "FIND" developed its first wisdom piano, which has realized the intelligent fusion of classical soundtrack and modern technology.
If you're a fan of Jay Chou, you should be familiar with a piano with a huge screen that he often appears on social media, and it's the FIND Smart Piano. As a close friend of the FIND brand, FIND wisdom piano has also appeared in Jay Chou's self-directed and self-acted advertising campaigns in the Year of the Rat, the International Nurses Day Public Welfare Cloud Concert and other activities, which shows the favor of the popular king who learned to play the piano for the FIND wisdom piano.
In 2021, Jay Chou launched a new advertising video and encouraged students to adhere to the wisdom and happiness of learning the piano. FIND continues to upgrade its original products and polishes four smart pianos with different positioning to further meet the learning, playing, appreciation and other needs of the philharmonic crowd at all stages. Recently, I also had the opportunity to go to the FIND Offline Piano Academy, where I had the first close and in-depth contact with its star product UF series double-mode pianos, and fully felt the unique, fresh and diversified experience displayed by the traditional acoustics after being given intelligence.
The 50-inch giant screen is eye-catching, and the wisdom of electric steel & mechanical real steel is used for both purposes
At first glance, UF dual-mode pianos are not much different from common upright pianos. But when the large 50-inch screen across the 88 keys lights up, this double impact of perception and thinking directly subverts the previous impression. Adding a large screen to the piano was almost unimaginable before, and the piano used to "listen" can now "see". And more corely, the function of all products of FIND smart piano is started and executed in this big screen, which is not a gimmick decoration or a simple and rude direct plug, but an intelligent human organ interactive interface and an intuitive carrier of efficient education.
In addition to its large size, the 50-inch screen also supports 4K image quality, the actual viewing effect is clear and delicate, and it can also protect eyesight when playing for a long time. When you need to return, confirm, HOME and other navigation operations, according to the function points in the screen to find the corresponding physical black piano key and press. However, it should be noted that the large screen does not support touch, so the reason for the design is that the use of piano keys can be more accurate operation to reduce the accidental touch of the large screen, and at the same time completely eliminate the fingerprint pollution caused by touch to the screen, on the other hand, it can also avoid frequent interruptions of the rhythm of playing the piano because of hand touch.
Anyone who knows it knows that pianos generally have three pedals to control the volume, timbre, and sustain of the piano. The UF double mode piano has 7 pedals, which is also a manifestation of the traditional piano in terms of form. These extra pedals can be stepped on by the foot when in use, to achieve the score page turning, fast forward playback, adjust the speed and other operations, avoiding the need to manually turn the sheet music and interrupt when playing, so as to keep the hands on the keys more fluently. This experience also surprised me, but after suddenly realizing it, I had to praise this detailed thought.
It is worth mentioning that this UF two-mode piano is mechanical real steel at the same time, there is also a smart electric steel mode. That is to say, unplugged, it has all the structure and timbre of a traditional mechanical piano; and plugged in, it transforms into a smart piano with a unique mechanical piano playing feel. An object has two different forms, which you need to choose completely freely. And some people may also question, what to do if the electric steel is blackouted, is it not possible to use? Believe here that you already have a definite answer.
Rich functions under active and passive interaction a century-old piano has never been so intelligent
At the beginning of its establishment, FIND began to develop core technologies including photoelectric sensing keyboard acquisition, automatic performance, electronic sound source, playback information acquisition and playback, and score digitization, and established a complete set of operating systems - Find OS. At present, it has nearly 20 kinds of functional modules, such as online classroom, automatic playing, playing recording, intelligent error correction, intelligent score search, etc., and even relaxing game entertainment and downloading APP are realized through Find OS. It can be said that Find OS is the soul to achieve all this, driving the software and hardware of the FIND smart piano to run together, allowing users to feel a series of unprecedented new experiences in the state of intelligent interconnection.
At the scene, I also actually experienced several special functions, and the most profound feelings were AI self-play and AI sparring. Hands do not need to operate, UF dual mode piano can automatically pop the entire track through AI. And AI can also play only one hand, at this time you only need to use the other hand to cooperate with AI for one-handed playing or one-handed exercises. Moreover, the AI sparring function also sets up a cute pet avatar called "Mao Mao", which allows children to maintain their interest and insist on practicing in the form of friend interaction, and also greatly reduces the ineffective torment of parents or sparrors who do not understand music theory.
Hardware innovation and the sudden outbreak of the epidemic have changed the corresponding education model, and the proportion of online has also been increased to a high proportion. The networked online mode is another intelligent advantage of FIND smart piano online teaching without leaving home. Find online music classroom course covers five major sections: playing skills, music appreciation, musical rhythm sense, listening courses, and basic music theory. Through the large screen and the teacher face to face, with the high-definition camera, whether it is the facial expression of the player or the details of the finger playing, the teacher can see and hear remotely and directly give guidance to correct.
There is another part of the teaching section worth mentioning, FIND and high-quality teachers work together to create a more effective and interactive double-teacher classroom, and the double line parallelly solves the problem of uneven education levels caused by the lack of teachers and unprofessionalism. With this FIND to achieve a high standard of education concept, build a complete education system and ecology, and hope to share their own high-quality educational resources, so that more piano lovers can enjoy professional piano education, and further promote the popularization of domestic piano education.
In addition to the cute pet image just mentioned, the UF smart piano also provides more fun operations for family children to teach. If many parents and grandparents in the family are zero-based music theory, how to enlighten young children or participate in guided teaching? At this time, the "waterfall flow" performance mode in the parent-child music courseware is a function suitable for the whole family. After opening, there will be a moving light column in the screen, press the corresponding piano key to click the light column, even if you do not know the score, you can pop up the complete song, which is intuitive and easy to understand and not boring.
Of course, whether it is self-study or teaching, rich music content and courseware are certainly indispensable. FIND four series of wisdom pianos have built-in massive musical scores, from Mozart's "Little Star Variations" in 1778 to Jay Chou's new single "Mojito" in 2020, whether it is popular music, classical music, or music score teaching materials, children's music, AI sparring, as long as it is the music resources you want, it will continue to update with the times. And the system will also push professional piano scores, accompaniment, performance videos and self-study courses customized by Find Studio to solve the problem of no score to play in many ways. In addition, find piano supports U disk reading, you can open your own music score in one second, and you don't have to worry about scalability and speed.
Modern technology intertwines the classic vocal music of how the UF dual mode piano achieves communion
Having experienced the intelligent side of the UF dual-mode piano, I naturally wondered how it would materialize. At the technical level, these functions are inseparable from the strong guarantee of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips and AI algorithms. Powerful chips, hard-core technology, intelligent computing power, full-line digital support, coupled with high-definition facial cameras and high-definition keyboard cameras, finally realized online high-definition audio and video interaction, analysis of playing details, display of massive musical scores, AI self-playing sparring and other innovations, bringing more possibilities for piano learning and playing.
In addition, according to the official staff, the UF dual-mode piano has 102 sensors, and the seemingly conventional keyboard has added photoelectric sensors and FIND core acquisition algorithms, which can track and sense the strength and touch of each keystroke, so as to more accurately capture information such as whether the keys are pressed to the end. On the left side of the piano, it is also found that it has a headphone jack, which is because the UF dual-mode piano has a self-developed electrodynamic dynamic sound mechanism, which uses a silent mode in the quiet night or noisy daytime scene, which can better ensure that it also has a real piano feel when playing with headphones, neither disturbing others nor compromising their own experience.
The most important quality of the piano is sound, and good timbre depends on large-capacity sound sources, and good "voices" rely on more and more ingenious mechanical structures. At the level of the music system, the UF dual-mode piano does not focus too much on "wisdom" and ignores the essence of sound. For example, the French DREAM5 series 16 core sound source, find Symphony sound system, and 16GB sound library containing 128 sounds make the real steel mode of the UF dual-mode piano already have a performance-level sound, and also ensure the realization of diversified vocal effects in the smart electric steel mode.
Since it has a traditional mechanical gene, the material for UF double-mode pianos is also well-known. For example, after accurate calculation of stress distribution and designed and can carry 20 tons of string tension string plate, German Roslau Röslau strings, Alpine spruce and other thick wood composite soundboard, carbon fiber string breaker inventor Kevin Burke personally operated the FIND string beater, European imported wool felt hammer, etc., a variety of ingenious mechanical mechanisms combined with international art-grade technology, UF double mode piano for the sake of fine sound quality can be described as everything.
There are already traditional pianos to do smart upgrades FIND smart screen easy to achieve
The experience of the UF series double-mode piano here is the end, but at the same time I also found another artifact - find zhixue screen. What it does is not to say, you can understand it through a question. What if you've bought a traditional piano at home, but want to have an intelligent experience like a FIND smart piano? At this time, the FIND smart screen came in handy.
FIND zhixue screen is a separate large screen, it can perfectly fit the traditional piano body, to achieve easy hanging screen free switch cover. That is to say, you only need to easily perform it with a traditional piano, and then you can let the traditional piano upgrade the wisdom piano in an instant, achieving the same effect as the FIND smart piano. In this way, not only does it reduce the energy of selling the old piano, but also the intelligent experience brought by the FIND smart screen can be enjoyed in the best way.
As for the functional level, there is no need to worry, find smart screen also supports soft and eye-catching 4K picture quality display, and has WIFI and USB3.0 connection functions, headphone microphone output, high-definition camera, stereo speakers are also equipped. Nearly 20 functional modules, such as AI sparring, online classes, and rich resources, are also missing. It can be said that the FIND smart screen is not just a display, but an interface of "intelligent human-piano interaction". Hardcore technology and computing power, full-line digital support, and many scientific and technological empowerments have made piano learning new. In the end, through it, it redefines learning, playing and appreciating, and ushers in a new experience, both teaching and learning.
Experience summary
Fuel vehicles take off the gearbox electrification directly to achieve automatic driving, face-to-face teaching online anytime, anywhere to enjoy distance education... The tide of intelligence is surging and many things that were almost unimaginable in the past have been given networks and wisdom, adding more functional imagination and expansion space beyond themselves. In terms of musical instruments, there is a precedent for the digital linkage of silent guitar electronic music synthesizers, and it is not unusual to even turn the entity into a virtual mobile phone or tablet to play.
However, it is not simple to intelligentize the piano that has been stereotyped for hundreds of years, because it is not to add several electronic units to the mechanical structure, or to connect to WI-FI is called intelligence. Only by effectively connecting electric steel and real steel, switching freely while having two modes and multiple functions that do not conflict and blend, this is the real wisdom. UF double mode piano is such a representative, more than 200 domestic and international intellectual property rights, German Red Dot Design Award, so that many mentor-level pianists and international competition judges are admired, is the best proof and recognition.
While subverting the traditional mechanical piano, FIND has also gradually indoctrinated and changed the old teaching model. At present, FIND smart piano has formed its own set of matrices, with different series of piano products + free massive courses + AI intelligent sparring trinity teaching program, attracting more families and students to participate. In the live music classroom, I was deeply impressed by the piano teacher's use of intelligent products, intelligent functions, and personalized demonstrations, and I also believed that this could reach every music practitioner and enthusiast in daily teaching.
It is the shape of a traditional piano, but it is also a fusion of modern technology. Can listen, see, learn and interact, the FIND wisdom piano represented by the UF dual-mode series resonates at the level of listening, touching, seeing and feeling, allowing users to perceive the infinite charm of the aftertaste music. This also corresponds to the official vision of the FIND brand: to use technology as an artistic blessing, so that everyone can enjoy the fun of playing and appreciating.
