Sound Technology
Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source
The Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source reproduces the rich tones and resonance of an acoustic piano. The expanded memory allows for longer sampling durations and enhanced waveform quality. From the initial strike to its natural decay, the tone evolves beautifully and organically.
Two Legendary Grand Piano Tones
Select between two distinct grand piano sounds tailored to suit different genres and environments—from bright, crisp tones ideal for pop and jazz to rich, resonant tones suited for classical performances.
Keyboard System
Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action II
Mimicking the timing and feel of a grand piano, the AP-270BK uses a three-sensor system to detect key presses and releases more precisely. This ensures a natural, responsive playing experience.
Simulated Ebony and Ivory Keys
The keys feature a textured finish that enhances grip and mimics the luxurious feel of real ivory and ebony, preventing slipping and ensuring comfort during extended play.
Resonance and Pedal Features
Damper Resonance
A stereo resonance simulator reproduces the natural reverberation heard when using the damper pedal. This system captures the full nuance of damper behavior, delivering a more expressive performance.
