Alesis NanoPiano Reference Manual page 4

Great sounding? Absolutely. Inside this little box are 256 of the
most musical programs you'll ever find in one instrument. The
centerpiece, of course, is the true stereo, phase-accurate grand
piano. But the goodie list doesn't stop there. In addition you will
find lots of useful alternate grand pianos, plus spinets, electric
pianos, clavinets, strings, synth pads, vocal pads, organs,
combinations, splits, and more, all constructed from linear, non-
compressed 48kHz 16-bit samples that are stored in eight
megabytes of on-board ROM.
And while I'm grinning, let me also mention some other things I
particularly appreciate about the unit — like 64 voices of
polyphony, the same built-in multieffects chip that Alesis uses in
their Q2 pro-class signal processor, complete MIDI control, and
incredibly simple operation.
Not bad, eh?
The bottom line is that the NanoPiano is deceptive. It looks
small and simple, and it is. But it is also a serious power tool for
all players, from the touring professional to the stay-at-home
hobbyist. Gold and platinum records have been made using the
sounds inside this box. Now you have them, too, for next-to-no
cost and zero hassle.
I really like the NanoPiano, and with good reason: I'm having a
blast with mine. I wish you lots of happy music-making with
yours.
