Introduction
The playing feel of a grand piano
The Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II) action gives you a weighty playing feel in the
low register while becoming lighter in the high register, replicating the authentic feel of
a piano. The distinctive sense of click (escapement) that you experience when softly
playing a piano note is also accurately simulated, ensuring a high degree of playability.
The pedal position is detected smoothly, allowing you to vary the effect by the changing
the depth to which you press the pedal. You can take advantage of the way in which
subtle differences in pedaling will affect the sound.
A compact cabinet that fits anywhere
The newly designed cabinet is compact and exudes a sense of quality befitting a musical
instrument. It can be placed nearly anywhere, and does not occupy excessive space.
In addition to a sliding keyboard cover that will not rattle, there’s a convenient
headphone hook for storing your headphones when not in use.
The versatile functionality you expect from a digital piano
Replicating the ambience of a concert hall
In addition to a high-quality reverb effect, these instruments also feature a 3D Sound
Control function, which replicates the spatial depth of a full concert grand piano, and a
Dynamic Sound Control function, which enhances the consistency and power of the
sound. Even when performing through headphones, you can use these effects to enjoy
sounds with superb presence.
Convenient functions to help you practice, and built-in piano songs with
accompaniment
A metronome function, a three-track recorder, and internal preset songs with orchestral
accompaniment and printed piano music (sixty songs) are included, making this
electronic piano an excellent choice for piano lessons.
Performing and saving data
The data you’ve recorded using the recorder can be saved using a separately sold floppy
disk drive or USB memory. In addition to a floppy disk drive or USB memory, you can
also connect a commercially available USB-type CD drive and play back SMF music
data, music CDs, or audio files. SMF music data from USB memory, a floppy disk, or CD-
ROM can also be saved in internal memory.
