Introduction To PNOmation3
QRS is revolutionizing the player-piano industry with the introduction of its latest player technology,
PNOmation3. PNOmation3is the most advanced and best selling player-piano system available on the market
today. Just take a glance at some of its great features, and you will see why new and current customers are
installing and upgrading to the latest in player technology:
BETTER AESTHETICS [HEARD, NOT SEEN]
PNOmation3is an invisible player. With PNOmation3, there is only a Pin Light Port Extender (PLx) which can be
mounted out of sight for no visible front-end controller or under the piano keyboard where you have the choice
of turning on or off any lights. Enjoy the benefits of a player without altering the appearance of your piano.
BETTER USER EXPERIENCE [USER FRIENDLY / PLEASANT USER EXPERIENCE]
PNOmation3offers the industry’s best user experience. PNOmation3not only functions as a stand-alone
player system, but also as a node on your home network. With PNOmation3’s web-enabled user interface,
the possibilities are endless: create playlists and control your player piano with an iTouch, iPod, iPhone,
or any web-enabled phone; or use a PC or Mac on your home network. PNOmation3is also designed
to support QRS’s new single-song purchase capability. The first system to eliminate the need for CDs or with
the inconvenience of having to buy an entire album to get the one song you really want. Our use of Wi-Fi to
communicate vs Bluetooth or a reliance of an App allows more functionality from control from anywhere in
home vs next to the piano to live performances. PNOmation3’s player radio feature play songs from the industry’s
largest library of music software so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy.
BETTER PERFORMANCE [IMPROVED PERFORMANCE]
PNOmation3features enhanced playback abilities with superior execution of dynamics. The softest pianissimos
and loudest fortissimos offer extremes of expression and produce more convincing musical performances.
PNOmation3 also dramatically improves the control over the sustain pedal solenoid which allows for quieter
sustain pedal operation and more accurate performance.
BETTER DESIGN [IMPROVED DESIGN]
PNOmation3incorporates PNOscan, the player industry’s leading MIDI recording tool. Also included are
tools for the user to refine the performance of the system.
BETTER NOW, BETTER LATER [NEVER LEFT BEHIND]
PNOmation3 is a simple and easy upgrade. It only takes four screws to swap the PNOmation3processor
into your existing player system, and it has been designed from the ground up to integrate with your
existing system while offering the latest, cutting-edge technology. PNOmation3is also prepared for the
future, as it is high-bandwidth ready for next-generation MIDI standards.

QRS had developed a player violin. The
routing was to enable the violin to play in
sync on its own channel.

External Systems can sometimes have other instruments or
sounds connected on other channels. If you want controller 7
volume messages to control those as well as the pianos select
which channels.
Turn on if you have set a minimum velocity from key adjust you

Number of notes in your player system, usually 80 or 88 or
somewhere in between. Run a test le up and down the
keyboard to determine.
Lowest MIDI note is the MIDI standard designation number for
that note. #21 is rst note on bass end of 88 note keyboard.
Open Overlay was a preset we created for Music Producers
working with DAW. It allows them to quickly switch between
operational modes, like record MIDI to DAW, then out of DAW
to MIDI in...
The QRS/Story & Clark Nickelodeon has 12 instruments and speaker
built in. When this is turned on it enables all the relevant channels to
work correctly
