Main Features

Piano sounds with rich resonance and wide expressive range
This instrument features a piano sound generator that utilizes stereo sampling, so it is
capable of faithfully recreating the sound of a high-quality concert grand piano,
realistically reproducing even the finest details, including the sound of the hammers
striking the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 128 notes, it has ample capability
even for performances that make full use of pedaling.
More than three hundred different sounds covering not only piano but a wide range of
instruments are built-in. You can also play drum sets from the keyboard.
