There's no such thing as a piano that fulfils the needs of every pianist, so KORG have included three coveted instruments from builders in Germany, Austria, and Japan. G1 allows you to experience the sound and of three totally unique grand pianos in the comfort of your own home, and choose the one that best suits the song or playing style. The German Piano - Among the most iconic pianos in the world, the German Piano boasts brilliant highs and a rounded low-end, and has been the first choice for pro pianists and concert venues for many years. The Austrian Piano - Delivering a warm tone with spectacular colour, the Austrian Piano is an instrument with a rich heritage. The Japanese Piano - The Japanese Piano offers a dynamic sound, and is often used for a huge range of music genres, from classical, to jazz, to pop, and beyond. Multiple Sound Samples for Outstanding Realism By analyzing the dynamics of your playing, G1 seamlessly selects between different sets of piano samples to achieve a sound that is as authentic and immersive to that of an acoustic instrument. From a light pianissimo, to thunderous fortissimo, G1 offers unparalleled realism and expression. Damper Resonance - The three concert grand pianos featured in the G1 offer realistic recreations of the damper resonance effect that occurs because of the sympathetic resonance of an acoustic piano's strings with the damper pedal held down. String Resonance - When playing an acoustic piano, strings will vibrate in sympathy as notes of corresponding pitches are played with the damper lifted. String resonance is a crucial attribute of the overall sound of an acoustic piano, so G1 employs the same Resonance technology featured in the KRONOS piano sound engine. Key-off Simulation - Key-off simulation faithfully emulates the sounds that occur when a player's fingers come off the keys. Bluetooth Audio Support Connect a Bluetooth enabled device to the G1 Air, and play along with your favourite songs in your music library, and when you're not playing, G1 Air can function as a powerful Bluetooth speaker system. Sophisticated and Elegant Design, with a Back Panel Provided on the Latest Model. G1 pays tribute to the classic aesthetics of a traditional acoustic piano, while offering a fresh approach to design to elevate it above the bland rectangular appearance of many other digital pianos. The latest model features a new back panel for a more robust overall design and greater sense of quality, while offering privacy from the front. With distinctive elegantly curved legs highlight the sophisticated style of the instrument, and thanks to it's slimline design, G1 can be placed virtually anywhere. The keyboard is protected by a soft-fall key cover that functions as a full-width music rest when opened, with sheet music being held securely in place by a shaped retaining channel. RH3 Keyboard Provides a Great-Feeling Playing Experience The G1 employs the real weighted hammer action 3 (RH3) keyboard which offers the faithful playing experience of a true grand piano - with a heavier feel in the low register that becomes lighter as you climb up the octaves. Incredibly responsive, even when notes are repeated quickly, G1 faithfully interprets the expression and dynamics of a performance, even in the most complex passages. G1 also offers key touch control, and allowing players to select between five levels of sensitivity (light, normal, heavy, stable, fixed) to determine how your playing dynamics are reflected by the sound produced. New Speaker System Delivers High Output and Great Sounding like a Grand Piano G1 employs two custom-designed large-diameter speakers located below the keyboard in a resonant enclosure to offer an incredibly realistic sound field of the G1 acoustic pianos and other instrument voices. The full dynamic range of sound is directed at the player, while high-frequency tones are recreated by a pair of speakers mounted above the keyboard. These speakers combine with the cabinet's natural resonances to provide a rich piano sound that reflects off the key cover, and delivers indirect acoustics similar to those of a traditional instrument. The amplifier section drives each of the four speakers with 20W of output power, for an impressive total of 80W of world-class sound quality. From lush bass, to sparkling highs, G1 gives you access to the expression, nuance, and power of a grand piano - in the comfort of your own home. Enjoy 32 High-Quality Instruments Sounds and Studio Effects Additional to the three concert grand piano sounds, G1 also includes sounds that cover a plethora of musical areas, like electric piano, organ, clavi, vibraphone, acoustic guitar, strings, and more, for a total of 32 deeply expressive sounds. G1 also offers three studio-grade effects: Brilliance, Reverb, and Chorus. Each of the built-in sounds feature optimized effects, so all you need to worry about is choosing a sound to begin playing. Equipped with Three Pedals as Standard with Half-Pedaling Feature Pedals are a crucial element of piano performance, so the G1 features the full compliment of three pedals found on a grand piano: damper, soft, and sostenuto. The damper and soft pedals also offer half-pedaling for even deeper expression and detail. A Variety of Keyboard Layout Options At the simple touch of a button, you're able to apply a bass sound to the lower register of the keyboard, allowing you to play piano with your right hand, and bass with your left for instant jazz performance styles. By simultaneously pressing two of the tone buttons, you can layer two sounds together effortlessly - layer piano and strings to play with a lush combination of piano and orchestral. Partner mode allows you to split the piano keyboard into two identical sections on the left and right, both with their own damper pedal - a perfect option for teacher and pupil duets, or copy and practise during lessons. Forty Piano Songs with Helpful Features for Practicing G1 features ten demonstration songs which showcase it's sonic capabilities, along with 40 in-built piano songs. For learning applications, you can control the tempo, playback the right-hand and left-hand parts individually, and use A-B repeat to perfect more complex sections.
