Korg LP350 Home Lifestyle Piano

Korg LP350 Home Lifestyle Piano Review



Korg LP350 Home Lifestyle Piano Feature

  • 88 notes , keyboard
  • Touch Control: Light, Normal, Heavy
  • Sound Generation: Stereo Sampling System
  • Programs: 30 sounds (5 Pianos, 7 Electric Pianos, Harpsichord, 2 Clavs, Vibraphone, Marimba, Acoustic Guitar, 3 Jazz Organs, 3 Church Organs, 3 Strings, 3 Choirs)
  • Metronome: Tempo, Time Signature, Accent and Volume controls
The Korg LP-350 is designed to visually complement nearly any living space. Less than 11 inches deep, the slim-line styling is both space-saving and efficient. When not in use, the thoughtful design of the LP-350 leaves a smooth, flat top with absolutely no protruding hinges, allowing the LP-350 to become part of your room's decor. Yet in spite of its slim-line profile, the LP-350 is equipped to provide a robust and accurate piano performance, complete with grand-touch action, all three pedals, and a powerful speaker system to deliver a rich piano sound. The LP-350 digital piano is available in two colors - classic black, or a restful and elegant white - each with metallic silver accents that add a modern touch. The LP-350 features our finest piano touch and feel, using our RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3). Just as on a traditional grand piano, the keyboard of this digital piano provides a heavier playing touch in the lower register, becoming progressively lighter towards the upper keys. Refinements designed for capturing rapidly repeated strikes ensure that the pianist's expressive abilities will not be impaired even during fast passages. Three levels of touch sensitivity are available using the Key Touch Control function, allowing you to customize the dynamic response to your own playing style. As a measure of environmental responsibility, Korg does not use lead in the keyboard hammers. The internal stereo sound system of the LP-350 digital piano features two large 10 cm speakers powered by a pair of 11-watt amplifiers. These speakers are housed in a bass-reflex enclosure, providing extended low-end response for a deep, full sound. The position of the speaker enclosure below the keyboard allows the sound to envelope the entire piano, creating a more natural resonance.

Nord C2 61-Key Dual Manual Combo Organ with Tonewheel, Vox, Farfisa Models and Baroque Pipe Organ (AMS-NC2)

Nord C2 61-Key Dual Manual Combo Organ with Tonewheel, Vox, Farfisa Models and Baroque Pipe Organ (AMS-NC2) Review



Nord C2 61-Key Dual Manual Combo Organ with Tonewheel, Vox, Farfisa Models and Baroque Pipe Organ (AMS-NC2) Feature

  • Packed with the award-winning sounds of the C1
  • Dual manual semi weighted waterfall profile keyboard
  • New stunningly accurate Pipe Organ featuring 21 stops
  • Includes B3, Farfisa, and Vox
  • Built-in effects to refine your sound
Church on Sunday mornings, clubs on Saturday nights. The Nord C2 Organ plays both places just right. Clavia has developed digitally modeled vintage organ models for over a decade, taking each new product version one step closer to perfection. With the introduction of the Nord C2, they raise the performance bar even further with the addition of a baroque pipe organ section-this is the organ for others to compare against. The Nord C2 Combo Organ includes B3 tonewheel organ, a Vox Continental and a Farfisa and a beautiful baroque pipe organ. This makes the C2 an extremely versatile instrument, providing not only rock organ players a new palette of sounds, but also the perfect instrument to use in churches, concert and congregation halls or any other venue where a high quality pipe organ instrument is paramount. The individual tonewheel levels are controlled with our digital drawbars that are just as fast and ergonomic to set up as their physical counterparts. This modern design provides you with the ability to store your favorite settings, to be instantly recalled and edited in real time during a performance. You get the unique opportunity to dial in a new setting with the digital drawbars while playing, without the change taking effect until you say so. Get your fingers on the waterfall type keyboard and you will not only hear, but feel the difference. An ultra fast trigger-to-sound response time in the C2 Combo Organ offers a superior performance compared with any other hardware or software products, just as the originals. Nord has modeled the crucial key click and key release bursts from the mechanical busbar design with its close to 1200 switches. The actual keys themselves have a firm mechanical action to provide you with the rock solid feel of an original vintage instrument. You have direct access to every important function on the panel. Nord believes that a performance is not only about what you play, but how you use an instrument as well.

You can save user songs and settings, or transfer song data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the performance assistant and Yamaha Education Suite features.

Lyric, Chord and Notation Display
Have you ever played a song and wondered what it would look like as sheet music? The DGX530 can display the score to a song whether it comes from the Internet, the internal selections those you record yourself. Pages scroll automatically when a song is played back--no more page turning! For singers, the screen also displays chords and lyrics to XF compatible songs.

The DGX530 is a breeze to use. Dive right in with convenient tools and features:

This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords.
