Connecting to your piano and speakers
PianoDisc Prodigy includes built-in technology that gives you the flexibility to connect to your piano and
speakers in many different ways. How you connect depends on your needs and environment—but don’t
worry. Prodigy makes connection easy, and rarely requires extra adapters or dongles.
Before deciding how to connect, it’s important to have a basic understanding of the options and
technology. Your PianoDisc system communicates with the piano and speakers using two basic signals:
Audio and MIDI.
Audio
The PianoDisc system uses audio for background audio, such as instrumentals or vocals. It also can use
audio to send piano performance data to the piano. If you play a PianoDisc song using a standard audio
player (or listen to it through the speakers on your phone or iPad), you may hear a high-pitched squeal
(like a FAX machine). That’s the data signal used to drive the piano and should not be audible when
everything is connected correctly.
Prodigy includes three standard audio interfaces. The audio input switch on the CPU must be set to
match the audio input method you’re using. (See Ill. 1)
Bluetooth: A Bluetooth audio receiver is built-in to every Prodigy. Devices such as mobile phones and
tablets that support Bluetooth audio (A2DP) can directly connect and play your piano. The range is
highly dependent on wireless interference and environmental conditions, but is typically 30 ft. (Your
experience may vary depending on where you have it installed and what devices are operating nearby).
Bluetooth audio shares its bandwidth with Bluetooth MIDI. For best results, we recommend using either
a Bluetooth audio or MIDI connection, but not both.
Analog: The analog input can be used to connect the Prodigy to the output of your music player device.
A wired connection is always more stable and reliable than wireless. The analog port can also be used to
connect an alternative wireless receiver. Bluetooth, AirPlay, and DLNA receivers are widely available,
and generally compatible.
TOSLINK: The TOSLINK input port allows for digital connection to special equipment, such as Blu-ray
players. TOSLINK uses a digital protocol that does not allow for volume adjustment. Volume should be
pre-set to a suitable level using the PianoDisc Calibrate App. When using a TOSLINK connection, the
Automatic Volume setting in the Calibrate App should be disabled.
