●Includes three types of grand piano sounds, including the SK-EX concert grand piano, the pinnacle of its class

The SK-EX concert grand piano and the SK-5 medium-sized grand piano from Shigeru Kawai, Kawai's best grand piano series, are newly equipped. Also included is the Kawai Concert Grand Piano EX, which was actually used in the Chopin International Piano Competition, the world's most prestigious piano competition, for a total of three models with built-in grand piano sounds.

For these piano recordings, we selected the best pianos possible because of Kawai's expertise in piano manufacturing and excellent piano tuning by a top-level tuner (*MPA). The HI-XL sound source realizes smooth tone changes from weak to strong blows and realistic piano sound with less muddy chords and extended decay, expressing the full quality of the piano.

256 richly varied tones

The 256 built-in tones are classified into 8 categories. （Each sound category consists of 8 subcategories, which are further divided into 4 variations (8 categories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories x 8 subcategories). (8 categories x 8 subcategories x 4 variations = 256 voices)

This systematic structure of voice groups allows for immediate voice changes even during live performances, and the currently selected voice can be confirmed at a glance. Tone parameters are displayed on the center LCD, and the user can also adjust tone and effect parameters while playing by turning the knobs. The user can also assign his or her favorite parameters to be displayed on the screen in advance.

Virtual Technician function allows the user to create the piano sound as desired.

The exceptional skills of a skilled piano tuner are essential to bring out the best performance from a concert grand piano. In addition to tuning tones precisely, they also make various tonal adjustments so that the piano can play true music.

The Virtual Technician function changes the character of the piano tone by simulating the tuner's tuning work. Various items can be adjusted in real time, such as touch weight, hammer hardness adjustment, noise adjustment when fingers leave the keyboard, string resonance, opening and closing of the large roof, damper resonance, and more.

Virtual Technician is also available for electric pianos. It can be made to sound old-fashioned, or in its new and just-shipped condition.

Built-in amp simulator

The tone character of the amp and cabinet is an important factor in determining the tone of a vintage electric piano. Using the amp simulator, you can play with analog-like warmth and thickness of tone.

In addition to five different amp types, drive level and volume can be finely controlled, and an equalizer and tone edit function are also provided. In addition, the type of microphone that collects the amp's sound, the placement of the microphones, and the volume of stereo microphones placed far away can be adjusted. The amp simulator, with its infinite combinations, brings even more fun to vintage electric guitar tones.
