Sellersville, PA: A powerful music innovation in worship technology, Schulmerich’s new MelodyWave® Instruments bring the power of MIDI to praise bands and choirs. They’re designed to turn MIDI -- normally the province of a single instrument with a single player -- into a group experience. A percussion section can take on complex melodies. A handbell choir can become an orchestra. The possibilities are limitless.

According to Kermit D. Junkert, Schulmerich Vice President - Sales and Marketing, “The portable, wireless MelodyWave® Instrument is unlike anything else. It makes a singular, stunning impression in live performance, and the ensembles that are already using it have only started to scratch the surface of its potential.”

Each set of MelodyWave® Instruments includes either 13, 25, 37, or 49 touch-sensitive batons, charger/carrying case(s), and a rack-mountable wireless base station. The base station plugs into any MIDI tone generator, giving access to all 256 voices of the MIDI 2 standard. Although sound quality is ultimately dependent upon the user’s MIDI and amplification setup, the instrument’s touch-sensitive batons and straightforward interface provide full control over expression and dynamics. This makes this electronic musical instrument a must-have for musical education and performance.

Orders are now being taken for these unique musical instruments. For more information on MelodyWave® Instruments, the new high-water mark in music innovation, visit www.MelodyWave.net.
