In music performance research, conservatory pianists have been a subject of interest. However, previous studies have often relied on data captured from unsynchronised devices, leaving a significant portion of potential data unexplored. This paper introduces a synchronisation method for a multimodal sensor setup to address this gap. The primary focus of this paper is the implementation of a synchronization mechanism. The proposed technique is a cheap and robust way to synchronise the required multimodal setup. The insights derived from this research can improve future studies and methodologies in musical performance research and are more generically applicable towards any multimodal sensor setup.
