Improved sound quality and keyboard feel

• AHL Sound Source

All built-in tones, including piano and acoustic instrument tones,
now sound better than ever before! 48-tone maximum polyphony
provides plenty of margin to minimize the chance of notes being dropped
when tones are layered and when playing with Auto Accompaniment.

*Acoustic & Highly-compressed Large-waveform

• Piano-style keyboard

An easy-to-play keyboard with an appearance resembling that of an acoustic piano.

• Touch Response

Touch Response lets you add delicate nuances to notes by varying how much pressure you apply to keyboard keys.

• Digital effects

Use effects to add reverb for more depth and breadth in your music.

• Chord Book
  You can use the Chord Book to look up chords you do not know how to play. You can hear what a chord sounds like and a simple operation even shows you inverted forms of the chord, making the Chord Book a valuable reference.

Powerful lesson functions!

New lesson functions guide you along the way to music proficiency

To master a song, it is best to break it up into short phrases, master each of the phrases, and then put everything together. Step Up Lesson does exactly that, providing you with the support you need to improve your play.

• Performance Evaluation

Your lesson score appears on the display screen.

• Voice Fingering Guide

If the keyboard senses you are having problems, it will help you by calling out finger numbers in a simulated human voice.

• 152 Song Bank tunesincluding 50 Exercise phrases(Song Book provided*)
  Built-in songs cover a wide range of genres for lesson play and for your listening enjoyment. Includes Exercise phrases!

• Song Expansion

You can load songs from external sources and use them for listening, play along, or even lessons.

*Memory capacity is approximately 320KB, which is enough for up to 10 songs. Note that the actual number of songs that can be stored depends on the size of each individual song and other data stored in memory.

*Songs you add using Song Expansion can be used for Step Up Lessons, but fingering guide will not be displayed for such songs.

• Recorder and metronome features for lesson support

New entertainment features!

Makes music more fun than ever before

Sampling function

You can sample a sound from a microphone and then play the sound on the keyboard. You also can use sampled sounds to compose music. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Playing

Play notes on the keyboard using the sampled sound!
If you sample the “Ting!” sound of a triangle, for example, you can then play notes with the sound on the keyboard. You even can add reverb, vibrato, and other effects to the sampled sound.

Incorporate a sampled sound into accompaniment patterns!
You can sample a favorite musical phrase or drum sound, and use the same to replace some Auto Accompaniment drum sets.

AUDIO IN jack
Connect a digital audio player, CD player, or other audio device and you can play along with music played through the keyboard’s speakers.

MIC IN jack for sing along
Sing along with built-in songs or songs loaded from outside sources.

Music Challenge
Music Challenge tests your reaction speed by requiring you to press the keys indicated by the on-screen keyboard guide in time with the Auto Accompaniment tempo using the correct fingers indicated by the on-screen fingering guide.
