ENSPIRE Controller - US

NEW - Oct 25 update might have fixed a few things but it BROKE others! Now you have to reboot the piano from the MAINS switch to get the app to load without the WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH. And that lasts only a few uses. Log-in/Server connection issues +++, NOTE, these issues only materialized with the latest firmware update. Support is puzzled. $94,000 MSRP piano is no good without a stable/useful app!!! OLD Not sure why there are so many negative reviews on this app. Some seem to be about the DKRadio subscription and not this application. Any of us who have owned older Disklavier Pianos (prior the the Enspire model) will truly appreciate how awesome this app is. You can get to almost every aspect/control over the piano. Plus it’s pretty intuitive, runs on any device that supports newer HTML functions, and is pleasant to view. Wishlist= 1. more access to maintenance functions/tests/settings. 2. Better support for the Remote Lesson functions that allow 2 Disklavier Enspire pianos to communicate with each other over the net. 3. Dark theme/night mode options. 4. Wallpaper options (so we can picture our actual piano). Overall, this is an ok upgrade to the Disklavier interface and deserves more praise. Happy Listening.

I own a Disklavier piano. I think it’s very telling that it was 3 years ago when Yamaha last updated this disfunctional software. We spent tens of thousands on a piano and this horrible interface keeps us from enjoying the very reason we bought the piano. This app never works, it stops playing for no reason pretty much every time. You cannot have a party and expect the piano to work because this app is so unreliable. You call Yamaha and they can’t fix it. You call your local piano dealer and they blame “your internet connection”. We got the piano Ethernet hard ward and it still doesn’t work. The app constantly spins “connecting” and you wait so long that you get frustrated and close the app. You walk away, and 15 minutes later the piano randomly starts playing. The reviews are consistently horrible and yet Yamaha does nothing. I wish I’d been warmed just how awful and unworkable this product is.

The apps works well and is reliable as long as you have the internet connection to the piano set up correctly. I was having a couple minor connection issues after delivery and spoke with the local dealer where I purchased the piano and they were able to assist me in getting everything set up as it should be. If you are having trouble connecting to the piano, talk to your local dealer where you purchased the piano!! The app functions well and works as advertised for playback and recording. A note for Yamaha: better compatibility with other apps would take the experience to the next level! For example, you should be able to save your recorded songs right to the files app for easy sharing.
