In order to play notes, your piano will need to rez 6 invisible prims. When you first place the piano out, it will run a check to ensure it has land permissions to rez these prims. If not, a message will appear in chat detailing the steps you need to take in order for the piano to be able to rez.

These prims will be rezzed when the piano is switched on, and deleted when it is switched off.

If you wish to delete the piano, it is good practice to switch it off first, as this will delete the invisible prims; however they will self-delete at some point within the hour if you forget to do so.

Product functionality can also be controlled by the iControl Professional. Please see the Using the iControl section for full details on how to use your product.

You will also find a notecard in the contents of the unit which allows you to adjust certain aspects of the product. Please see the Settings section for more information how to adjust these.

On pressing this button , the configuration drop down will appear which will give you the options for the product. If you have multiple 's out the configuration button will control all lights on that channel, not just the one it states on the drop down.

Confirm On
On pressing this button will allow the product to notify in chat confirmations of button presses. This is especially useful so the owner or admin can know what settings have been changed when they click any of the buttons. The default setting is off.

This shows or hides the sheet music on the piano.

To switch on the piano, press the On button on the iControl, or sit on the seat. To switch off, press the off button!

Note when you un-sit from the piano, it will return to the power state it was in when you initially sat down. I.e. if the piano was off when you sat, it will switch itself off when you un-sit; if it was on, it will remain on.

This slider allows you to adjust the volume of the piano. The default setting is full volume (top of slider).

When you turn on the piano, or sit on the seat, or click the above button you will be provided with a drop down menu listing the categories/names of each song in the piano contents. Simply select a song, or press the play button to begin playing. There are 152 songs already preloaded to choose from!

These are the media buttons to control the songs playing. Once a song is complete the piano will respond depending on the chosen Play Mode as follows:

Skip to start of current song

Stop current song playing

Play songs

Skip to end of current song

Play Once - No further songs will be played - Select one manually from the menu to restart playing

Repeat All - The next song in the current menu will be played. Play will loop continuously through the current play menu*.

Shuffle - A Random song from the current menu will be played. Play will shuffle randomly through the songs in the current play menu*.

Repeat 1 - The song will repeat indefinitely

The play mode can be selected either on the iControl or by selecting the lower left button on the drop down Main Menu.

* If your menu has subcategories, Repeat All and Shuffle modes will play songs in the current play menu, that is the subcategory from which the first song was selected. You can browse the other sub menus without changing the current play menu. To loop or shuffle through songs from all sub menus, press the Play button (▶) on the main menu. Note that the Play button on the iControl will play songs from the last shown drop down menu.

If you edit your product and go to the contents tab, you will notice an Access notecard specific to the product.

Here you can stipulate who can access the piano function to play it.

When any changes are made to the notecard, press save and wait for the confirmation:

TIS : Loading Access Notecard - Please wait
TIS : Load of Access notecard complete.

Once you have received the confirmation, turn off your product to enable the product to take these settings then switch back on.

Your piano comes with 152 songs in a variety of subcategories. You can change these as required. First access the contents of the piano by right clicking on it, selecting Edit, then moving to the Contents Tab.

You will see a number of notecards, and two scripts in the Piano Contents. The first notecard ( !!! Access !!! ) controls who can access your piano - please see the section on Access Control above. The two scripts are essential for the piano to operate and should be left untouched. All other notecards contain song information (1 song per notecard).

The names of the song notecards dictate which category the song appears in. The naming convention is as follows:

SubCategory Name:Song Name - A colon (:) separates the two fields.

Therefore in order to place a song called 'Weeping Saxophone' in the 'Blues' subcategory add a notecard with the following name:

Blues:Weeping Saxophone

This will automatically create a Blues subcategory button in the Main Menu.

You can have unlimited subcategories, each containing unlimited songs.

Note

Any notecards without a subcategory (For example one named 'Weeping Saxophone' will be placed in a subcategory named 'Others'. If there is only one subcategory, or only notecards without subcategories, the Main Menu will simply display the song names. Notecard names are limited to 128 characters
