Yamaha Heads "Into Tomorrow" – On Your Radio

Into Tommorrow
BUENA PARK, CA (May 13, 2005) — One of Yamaha’s top innovators in music software and technology was featured live on the radio on Sunday, May 8 with Dave Graveline, host of the weekly broadcast Into Tomorrow. The show airs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

The theme was “Making Music,” and marketing specialist Craig Knudsen joined Graveline as part of a discussion on new music making technological innovations from Yamaha – including the Disklavier Mark IV, StarLIGHTS series music software and the DGX Series portable keyboards.

The StarLIGHTS series of musical software allows beginners to play their favorite tunes at their own pace by simply following the lights on their Yamaha Clavinova CVP digital pianos, accompanied by rich, creative orchestration. The latest titles include “Lights, Camera, Action” (popular movie themes) and “Spotlight on Rodgers and Hammerstein.”

The Yamaha DGX Series includes a stereo-sampled grand piano, plus many high-end innovations like an LCD display, computer connectivity and self-teaching features in a cost-effective, portable keyboard format.

Yamaha’s Mark IV, the world’s most advanced player piano, builds upon the sophistication of previous generations of the award-winning line of performance-reproducing models with a number of innovative features – including expanded onboard memory, Wi-Fi remote controllers and the Pocket Remote Controller, whose dedicated buttons and a full-color touch screen LCD design will be familiar to anyone who has ever used a PDA.

Knudsen joined other guests on Graveline’s show, including representatives of Edriol, Garritan Personal Orchestra and National Jingle Company. One lucky listener won a Yamaha PSR K1 portable keyboard.

Into Tomorrow reaches more than 100 radio stations nationwide, and is also broadcast on Sirius satellite radio (channel 144), XM satellite radio (channel 165), the Armed Forces Radio Networks and as a live audio stream on the show’s website. Excerpts of the interview are available here.
