Key Features

  • Advanced Silencing Technology: Equipped with cutting-edge technology that allows for silent playing through headphones. This technology captures the movement of the hammers before they strike the strings, thereby allowing for a true acoustic piano touch with no sound, making it possible for players to practice at any time without disturbing others.
  • Articulation Sensor System: The newly developed system accurately interprets the nuances of the pianist's touch from the keys through the action, recreating the intended hammer movements and the resulting piano sounds with high precision. This ensures a faithful acoustic piano experience in both touch and sound.
  • Grand Expression Modeling: An innovative feature that reproduces the diverse tonal variation and dynamic response of a grand piano. It detects the velocity and acceleration of key strokes, offering pianists the ability to express fine nuances even when in digital mode.
  • Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM): This technology enhances the playing experience by reproducing the rich sympathetic resonance of a grand piano. VRM adds the sounds of the dampers and resonances of the strings and soundboard, delivering a complex and authentic acoustic piano experience.

  • Binaural Sampling: Delivers a three-dimensional sound experience when using headphones, simulating the natural, resonant sound of an acoustic piano, enhancing practice and performance immersion.
  • Quick Escape System: Technology which ensures the hammers are optimally distanced from the strings while in SILENT Mode, allowing for accurate touch and articulation without compromising on the acoustic feel.
  • Integrated Rhythms and Accompaniment: Comes with drum and bass backing tracks in 20 different rhythms to add a new dimension to practice and performance, giving players a fuller sound with just the piano.
