+/YES / -/NO (Value) but- tons: Change the value of the parameters appearing in the display. The editable parameter is shown by the cursor ( ) placed on its left, or (when editing text) with the character/cipher in edit flashing. By keeping them pressed, the values start changing automati- cally, first slowly, then slightly faster. By pressing them together, the param- eter is reset to its default value.

While in the Main page, these buttons can be used to select a different varia- tion of the current sound.

EXIT button: Press it to exit Edit mode, or to return to the Main page from other pages. When exiting from the Edit mode, the Save proce- dure will be recalled. When a drum pattern is assigned to the Metro- nome, and it is running, this button doubles as a Fill In control (see page 21, page 30).

C-720 specifications

The Korg C-720 is a sophisticated digital piano that embodies the pinnacle of modern musical technology and artistry. Designed to meet the needs of both aspiring musicians and seasoned professionals, the C-720 combines exceptional sound quality, advanced features, and an elegant design.

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 keyboard action delivers the genuine feel of an acoustic piano, with weighted keys that respond appropriately to both soft and powerful playing. Coupled with the sound engine, this results in a performance experience that closely mimics traditional pianos.

Additionally, the C-720 is equipped with a sophisticated digital effects processor. 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.
