The "Vorsetzer" is not new. This was a mechanical/pneumatic device for
recording a piano performance and then playing it back on a real piano.
Yamaha bought this patent and brought it to a modern, electronic version.
Consumers can buy these specially outfitted Yamaha pianos (not cheap)--I
think that "disklavier" is their brand name for this--and purchase the
recordings as well. Newer ones combine CD players, XG synths, MIDI in and
out, and all kinds of goodies.
