Main features

Weighted Hammer Action
The C-3200 features the RH2 (Real Weighted Hammer
Action 2) keyboard, which varies the resistance of the
keyboard in four stages, just as on a grand piano.
Rich array of sounds
Choose from eight high-quality sounds developed by
Korg, including a superb concert grand piano. There is
also an additional Bass sound. You can use the Layer or
Split functions to play two sounds at the same time. The
stereo sampling tone generator provides a concert grand
piano that not only sounds rich, but also reproduces a
spacious ambience.
Effects
The built-in digital effects provide both Reverb, which can
recreate the ambience of a concert hall, and Chorus to add
fullness and enhance the stereo imaging of the sound.
Pedal effects
The C-3200 provides the same three pedals as a grand
piano, controlling the soft, sostenuto, and damper func-
tions respectively. The damper pedal simulates the natural
string resonances of an acoustic piano. Both the damper
pedal and the soft pedal let you vary the amount of the
effect by how far you press down on the pedal ("half-
pedal" function).
Metronome
The built-in metronome provides a steady beat for
practice. You can set the time signature, tempo, and
volume, and can even select a different sound for the
downbeat.
Recorder
You can record, overdub and play back your own perfor-
mance using the built-in recorder. The functions are easier
trP]se than a traditional tape recorder.
Touch control
Three touch curves allow you to tailor the keyboard
response to your own playing style.
Temperaments
In addition to the traditional equal temperament, you can
also select one of the two classical temperaments
(Kirnberger or Werckmeister) for historically authentic
performances.
Adjustable pitch
You can use Transpose to transpose the pitch in semitone
steps, and Pitch Control to make fine adjustments to the
pitch.
MIDI
"MIDI" is a world-wide standard that allows performance
data to be transferred between electronic musical instru-
ments and computers. Via the C-3200's MIDI connectors,
it can control (or be controlled by) another MIDI device,
and can even be used as a 16-part multi-timbral tone
generator.
