Comment on Roland’s 50th Anniversary Concept Piano

Comments

The drones seem entirely impractical, but also in keeping for a 21st century concept piece.

Also in keeping, and something I truly despise, is the ubiquitous and obtrusive thick-bezzeled touchscreen just slapped in the middle. I don't think it looks good in the render and looks even worse in the photo.

Instead of spending money developing ways to introduce noise into the speakers, I'd have rather seen the screen match the curve of the panel; though I'm not sure if shaped screens are even possible yet. At the very least they could have done a nicer job of blending the screen in for this art piece.

You can shape a screen by hiding or removing elements of a square screen and solve the rest in software which confirms to the visible shape.

Square screen in this is as lazy as the rest of it.
