The same piano sound is assigned to the two halves of the keyboard,

 

 

 

 

 

simulating two separate pianos on the same keyboard. Useful when

 

 

 

 

 

both the teacher and student are playing on the piano at the same

Notes:

*These performances, with sounds set in Layer mode, do not use EPx effects.

**Performance 30 (PnoExpDEMO) is designed to demonstrate our “Piano eXperience” technology, by exaggerating the amount of key-off/ hammer return portion of the Grand Piano sound; it is not intended to be a play-able timbre. Normally, these additional Piano eXperience sounds are not perceived as separate elements, but together with the other sample layers, they are a vital part of the realism and the authentic piano tone.

At the heart of the C-720 is Korg's Enhanced Piano Sounds technology, which provides a rich and authentic sound experience. The instrument boasts a comprehensive selection of meticulously sampled grand pianos, electric pianos, and other keyboard instruments. Each sound has been crafted using advanced sampling techniques that capture the nuance and character of the original instruments. The C-720 also features Korg's Dynamic Touch technology, allowing for responsive playing that adapts to the touch of the performer, enabling subtle expression through dynamics.

One of the standout features of the C-720 is its Natural Weighted Hammer Action (NH) keyboard.

This processor includes a variety of effects such as reverb, chorus, and delay, which can enhance the overall sound and provide depth to performances. The vast array of customizable settings allows musicians to craft their unique soundscapes, whether they are performing in a live setting or recording in a studio.

Connectivity options are ample in the C-720, with MIDI in/out slots for interfacing with other instruments and computers, as well as USB connectivity. This allows for easy integration into music production environments, making it a versatile choice for modern musicians. The built-in speakers deliver a full-bodied audio experience, while headphone outputs provide for private practice.

The Korg C-720 also includes a range of onboard features such as metronome, recording and playback functions, and various built-in music styles, providing musicians with tools to enhance their practice and performance. Its elegant design, available in classic wood finishes, ensures that it will be a beautiful addition to any music room or stage setup.

Overall, the Korg C-720 is a powerful and sophisticated digital piano that caters to the demands of today's musicians, combining traditional playing feel with cutting-edge technology and features.
