Pedal Inputs

Pedal Inputs: Yes

The pedal input allows you to connect an external pedal that expands the instrument's control capabilities and contributes to a richer musical expression, increasing flexibility and expressiveness when playing and creating music.

Polyphony: 256

The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.

Headphone Output: Yes

The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.

MIDI Interface: Yes

It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.

Number of Keys: 88

This instrument has 88 keys, equivalent to 7 1/4 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.

Aftertouch: Yes

Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.

Inputs

  • Jack 6,3 mm TRS
  • MIDI IN
  • Ribbon Controller
  • Jack 6,3mm TS (Pedal)
  • Jack 3,5mm TRS

Sequencer: Yes

The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.

Pitch Bend: Yes

The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.

Arpeggiator: Yes

The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.

Modulation: Yes

Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.

Opravdu vynikající stage piano (workstations) v poměru cena/výkon. Špičková akustická i elektrická piána. Luxusní simulace hammondek KB3, které lze ovládat pomocí 9 drawbarů a leslie efekt se spustí nožním pedálem. Klaviatura je velmi zdařilá a pocit při hře se již blíží akustickému piánu. (Oproti mé stávající MOX8 je rozdíl o "parník"). Nástroj jako takový je sice z plastu, ale jedná se opravdu o pevný a tuhý plast a nástroj působí robustně. Nikde se nic neprohýbá a nevrže, což je zásadní rozdíl oproti vrzající, již zmiňované YAMAHA MOX8. Malou výtku mám snad jen pro vstupy AUX, které nelze samostatně přímo ovládat fyzicky, ale jen softwarově v menu kláves.

Kupoval jsem pro vnučku, nejsem klavirista. První dojmy velmi dobré, odpovídá recenzím na YT. Jsem ve fázi zkoumání technických možnosti. Obrovské možnosti úpravy stavajících zvuků a následné uložení do USER sekce. Vrstvení zvuku na sebe, rozdělení klaviatury do více úseků. Kreativitě nejsou kladeny žádné meze.
