MLC100

The Yamaha Music Laboratory is an integrated system that consists of the MLC-100 console, teacher's keyboard, up to sixteen student keyboards, headsets with microphone and student call boxes. With its unrivaled flexibility, the MLC-100 lets you easily solo or combine students into groups just as you wish. In addition, two-way communication between you and the student is just a button-push away. Although the MLC-100 will function with virtually any manufacturer's electronic keyboard, we recommend the Yamaha Clavinova digital piano. In addition to assuring complete plug-and-play compatibility, the Clavinova offers standard features that are unmatched for piano realism. For example, the AE (Action Effect) and GH (Graded Hammer Effect) keyboards inherit over a century of Yamaha's experience in building fine acoustic pianos. Designed and built on the same principles as a traditional grand piano, the AE and GH keyboards have weighted touch and dynamic control which are essential to developing refined piano skills. Sound quality and realism is unrivaled thanks to Hi-Resolution AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) sound generation. AWM takes samples (digital recordings) of an actual acoustic grand piano, and processes them according to the player's touch. Attack, volume, tone, decay, resonance and modulation are all varied according to the velocity of each key played resulting in a sound all but indistinguishable from an acoustic piano.

An integrated system consisting of the MLC-100 console, designed to allow group teaching for up to 16 keyboard lab students. Includes headsets with microphones and student call boxes.

Ensemble playing, duets, one-on-one instruction, students helping students, a student teacher assisting you with one, two, three or four groups. All of this happening simultaneously with you in control of all activities from the teacher station using the MLC100. And, you can instantly change the classroom configuration by pressing a single digital control.

Students of different playing abilities can attend the same lesson resulting in full classes. A student missing a class can "make-up" a lesson with another group without scheduling valuable private time with the teacher.

You can communicate with individual students, pairs or groups--Privately, from your own keyboard, without disturbing other students or interrupting the entire class.

The MLC100 saves equipment cost, plus the cost of soundproofed classrooms by using Clavinova digital pianos(never need tuning or regulation) or electronic keyboards.

Individual students of different levels and playing abilities plus those students requiring special assistance no longer hold up the progress of the entire class. Each student, pair or group can be addressed independently, benefitting the entire class.

Cables from the students keyboards cross the floor to the MLC100 requiring only two plug in connections, giving easier, neater, safer installation.
