The MRP allows a pianist to continuously shape every note, similar to a violinist, while maintaining the piano's natural polyphony.
Recording & Production

Recording & Production
All tracks on this album were recorded and produced by Ryan Streber at Oktaven Audio in Yonkers, NY.
Instruments
The MRP achieves continuous control by using an optical sensor strip on the keyboard that records the continuous position of each key, unlike typical MIDI keyboards.
