MAIN FEATURES OF THE DP1
The DP1 is a revolutionary digital grand piano that employs an orthodox, simple, yet novel concept.
CONCEALED CONTROL PANEL
Simply open the lid and play, just as with a real grand piano. The DP1's control panel is hidden from view
until the ACTIVATOR is selected - appearing, with a gentle tap of the touch sensitive, smoked glass
surface.
ACOUSTIC TOUCH KEYBOARD
The DP1's 'AWA Grand Pro' wooden keyboard provides excellent feel and control, with a touch resembling
that of an acoustic piano. Moreover, the DP1's keyboard vibrates just like a real grand piano, allowing the
performer to feel the subtle resonance of every note for an incredibly authentic playing experience.
UNPRECEDENTED TONAL AUTHENTICITY
Adopting the latest technology, the DP1 produces the finest concert grand piano sound ever heard from
a digital instrument, whilst also providing a selection of other rich tones, including string and bass voices.
SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM FOR REALISTIC AMBIENCE
The DP1 implements a 5.1 channel surround system that is capable of reproducing the immersive sound
field of an acoustic grand piano. Moreover, through the intelligent Ambience function, the performer can
simulate numerous playing and listening environments.
TWO TRACK RECORDER SUPPORTING MP3 AUDIO
The DP1 recording function allows up to 100, two track songs to be stored in internal memory. Recordings
can be saved as MP3 audio, and written to any connected USB memory device. The DP1 also supports
MP3 audio song playback, offering performers a useful resource for study and practice.
MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
This digital piano uses the 'Puppy Linux' kernel and GNU utilities for its operating system.
