Korg - D1 88 Key Digital Stage Piano - Black

Product Information

For example, when you depress the sustain pedal, the earliest played notes continue to sound while you’re adding new ones and the piano needs more memory to keep all the notes sounding. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

You get the standard light, normal, and heavy dynamic settings, but you also get stable and steady, which reduces the dynamic variation of your playing, and in the latter case, removes touch-sensitivity completely.

When you reach the polyphony cap, the piano starts to drop the earliest played notes to free up memory for new notes, which in turn affects the quality and fullness of the sound. For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. The Concert Piano, Grand Piano and Jazz Piano sounds reproduce damper resonance, realistically simulating the spacious resonance produced by the sympathetic vibration of the strings when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano. Key-off simulation

The RH3 ( Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) key bed isn’t just an emulation of the weighted feel of real piano keys. The Concert Piano, Grand Piano and Jazz Piano sounds reproduce damper resonance, realistically simulating the spacious resonance produced by the sympathetic vibration of the strings when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty It’s safe to say that the Korg D1 offers you the playing feel of a grand piano. Regardless of where you’re playing this piano – whether at home or on stage, it delivers the best playing experience and helps you have fun in the process. In our review, we’ll explore the features, pros, and cons of this piano. Features of the Korg D1 Digital Piano In my opinion, the FP-30’s piano sound delivers a brighter tone, whereas the D1 has a warmer sound with less bite. Both sound great, however, so this really depends on your personal preference.The D1 defaults to the normal setting on activation and it is the ideal sensitivity for piano pieces.

Therefore, this helps to improve your performance. The Korg D1 comes with 30 built-in songs, ranging from classic pieces (like Bach and Chopin) to Korg originals.

One thing I wish it would have is a pitch wheel, but I guess they had to save some features for the higher-end models. It does come with a sustain pedal with multiple sensitivities. These include brilliance, reverb, and chorus. To adjust the effects, just hold down the effect button and press the + and – keys beside the numeric display. Each effect has 3 different levels. Each of the sounds is well selected, though, and fits well into all styles of music. Split mode and layer mode are included, enabling more flexibility in play. The 10 sound categories are not huge, but enough to articulate most ideas in most genres. For anything more, you can use your VST sounds anyway. Anyone who needs an instrument that actually feels like the real thing and not some plastic toy, look no further. I've used it for the past 10 months, and it performs well for daily practice and recording alike.You get 5 more instruments in the FP-30, getting a total of 35 to the D1’s 30. There’s also Twin Piano and Split Mode, which lets you play two different sounds with your right and your left hand.
