Temperaments

In addition to the Equal temperament, the C-720 allows you to select nine alternative temperaments, for historically accurate performance of classical music, or experimenting. When se- lecting an acoustic piano sound, the typical Stretched Tuning is automatically selected.

Adjustable pitch

The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano, and the Master Tuning function allows you to make fine tune adjustments.

Effects

The C-720 provides built-in digital effects that can simulate the natural ambience of a concert hall (reverb) and add rich- ness to the sound (chorus). In addition, each sound includes

an insert effect (delay, phaser, equalizer, rotary speaker, etc…), that is specially suited to each particular sound.

Powerful integrated amplification

The C-720 includes a powerful, 2 ⋅ 35 Watt, plus 2 ⋅ 12 Watt double stereo amplifier, with two woofers in closed box and two dome tweeters. This gives the most authentic sound re- production, together with enough volume to deliver the full power of an acoustic piano.

Two sets of headphones

You can connect two stereo headphones, to play with your teacher or another musician. Connecting a headphone set au- tomatically disconnects the speakers, so there is no risk to dis- turb others when practicing by night.
