KORG is Now Shipping the MicroPiano

Korg is now shipping the microPIANO. Compact,

convenient, and highly portable, the microPIANO is Korgs go-anywhere piano solution.

Featuring 61 keys, the microPIANO borrows many design elements from a grand piano,

including an adjustable lid. The Korg microPIANO is available in Black, White and

Red.

The microPIANO borrows its piano sound (and stereo piano samples) from Korgs

flagship digital pianos. In total, there are 61 vibrant and authentic sounds

available. Keyboard sounds go beyond the traditional pianos to include electric

pianos, harpsichords, accordion, celeste, organs, clavs, toy pianos and more. In

addition, there are also flutes, strings, harps, bells and mallet percussion sounds

marimbas, vibes, steel drums, even kalimbas and music boxes.

Of these 61 sounds, 25 are "Short Phrase Sounds" that can automatically generate

phrases simply by holding down a key. For example, piano sounds that provide a

left-hand accompaniment in the lower range, allowing the melody line to be played

with the right hand; organ sounds complete with phrases from famous pipe organ

compositions; and more.

The Natural Touch keyboard provides 61 mini-keys proportioned to provide both the

skilled player and the novice with a comfortable playing experience. The

touch-sensitive keys are shaped in the traditional grand piano style, with square

fronts and overhanging lip.

The compact and lightweight body, together with built-in speakers and the option of

battery power, enable the microPIANO to be enjoyed any time, any place. The

headphone jack allows for private practice. Using the internal speakers, the

microPIANO can come along to parties to entertain friends. Connected to an external

amplifier, the microPIANO can perform at a live performance.

The microPIANO (Red, Black or White) is now available with a U.S. MSRP of $500.00.
