A modern keyboard designed for daily practice and creation
This compact piano keyboard belongs to the "all-in-one" instrument family designed to support progress from the first chord to the first productions. With its numerous sounds, accompaniment rhythms, and MIDI connectivity, it positions itself as a versatile solution: a study instrument with built-in speakers, but also a practical controller to operate virtual instruments and work with DAW software.
Keyboard design
The 61-key touch-responsive keyboard offers dynamic control suitable for both learning and expressive playing. Sensitivity can be turned on or off (Touch Response On/Off), allowing a switch from nuanced playing to a more uniform attack depending on the style (piano, pop, electro, educational music). The 61-note format facilitates portability while maintaining a comfortable playing width to work on chords, melodies, and accompaniments.
Sound quality
The sound section offers 129 tones covering essentials (pianos, keyboards, organs, strings, pads, etc.) and varying colors. The maximum polyphony of 64 notes helps maintain a clean sound during layering (Dual Voice) and busier passages. The built-in stereo speaker system is complemented by a 3-watt amplification, providing immediate sound output without external equipment, with an appreciable sense of space for daily practice.
Built-in effects
- Sustain
- Vibrato
Educational functions
To progress effectively, the keyboard includes a metronome with time signatures 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4, as well as tempo control. The Split (keyboard division) and Dual Voice (layering two sounds) functions allow exploration of harmony and textures. The "Easy chords" mode (simplified chords) helps to accompany quickly, while recording and playback (Rec & Play) facilitate self-assessment and memorization.
Advanced functions
Designed to integrate into a digital environment, this model supports MIDI via USB (USB MIDI) and wireless MIDI (Wireless MIDI), useful for controlling virtual instruments, recording ideas, and working with applications. Connection to the computer is via USB, with compatibility announced for software and environments such as GarageBand, Cakewalk, Sonar, Cubase, Nuendo, Simply Piano, as well as VST/VSTi plug-ins. It also includes arranger and performance functions like Fill in, a Drum kit, and transposition over a range of plus or minus 6 semitones.
