First and foremost, SPIRIO | r can be played like any other STEINWAY, the instrument artists have chosen for over 170 years for its broad palette, warmth and depth of tone, powerful resonance, and unmatched touch response.

Much like the megapixel revolution of the digital camera, SPIRIO | r offers exclusive high-resolution recording, preserving all the music: every nuanced dynamic level from infinitesimal gradations of hammer velocity, and every shade of resonance from proportional pedaling — now at your fingertips.

The artisans at STEINWAY & SONS seamlessly install SPIRIO| r technology at the time of manufacture, ensuring no alteration in the musical performance nor compromise in the instrument’s beauty.

SPIRIO | r permits users to record and listen to performances in stunning state-of-the-art high resolution — with all the nuance, power, and passion on display.

Simple, intuitive controls offer the ability to save and share user-created recordings in multiple file formats:
    • SPIRIO high resolution
    • MIDI
    • MP3 high quality sampled audio

The thousands of performances from current STEINWAY artists as well as SPIRIO SYNC videos are available at the touch of a button on the included iPad. Every month the library expands, automatically updated from the Cloud. In addition to today’s greatest musicians, historic performances by STEINWAY IMMORTALS are available, including Duke Ellington, Glenn Gould, Arthur Rubinstein, Art Tatum, and many more.

Native to the SPIRIO app, the SPIRIO editor provides the world’s only advanced iPad–based high resolution editing capabilities to SPIRIO files, allowing users to edit every nuance of their SPIRIO recordings.

SPIRIO editing features include the ability to:
    • modify note velocity (dynamic)
    • modify note duration (start- and end-times)
    • correct wrong notes (remove or replace)
    • modify pedal data (sustain and shift)
    • delete or add time
