Description

The Espressivo system consists of up to 8 sensor modules per manual, each with 8 keys, so that up to 64 keys can be detected. Additional modules can be mounted for even larger manual ranges. A special "piano" configuration combines two manual units into one large keyboard, as is now sometimes installed as a "master keyboard" to control electronic sound generators or keyboards in consoles.

The modules are supplied in a frame of eight. The holding bars of the frame can easily be cut with a side cutter.

To equip different manual with different numbers of keys, one or more sensor boards can be shortened at the golden marking lines on the component side. Use impact shears or a metal saw to do this. The cut edges should be as smooth as possible to prevent short-circuits on the printed circuit boards.

The modules can be mounted in different positions:

a) "normal": the key magnet approaches the sensor board when the key is pressed. Here the sensor rail mounted on the front arm under the keyboard or on the rear arm above the keyboard.

b) "inverse": the key magnet moves away from the sensor board when the key is pressed. This situation occurs when mounted under the keyboard on the rear arm of a center-pivoted keyboard or when mounted suspended above the front arm of the keyboard. The position of the sensors is always facing away from the balance beam. Therefore, with normal mounting, the board with the number 1 is located on the bass side, with inverse mounting on the treble side.

The system automatically recognises the mounting type and keyboard range during setup.

To mount the sensor modules on the aluminium rail, special screws are supplied which can be easily screwed into the profile groove at any point without any further work (such as pre-drilling or punching).

These are thread-forming screws, DIN7500, ISO 14581 M2.5x6 or M2.5x5 (e.g. Würth art. no. 0209722506). A Torx screwdriver TX8 is required for these screws.
