SG-1 - Korg's 76 key Sampling Grand uses the latest sampling technology to reproduce real acoustic piano sound. The result is completely different from ordinary electronic pianos. The SG-1 delivers it all.

From deep bass to high treble, with natural dynamics, rich resonance and lingering detail. Korg brings you a truly acoustic sounding electronic instrument with the performance deserving of the name "grand. " Built into the SG-1 are four timbres: Piano I & II and Electric Piano I & II. With optional ROM cards you can easily add other sounds, also boasting the fidelity and quality of Korg's sampling technology. A "brilliance" control lets you adjust the amount of tonal change effected by keyboard dynamics. Bass, middle, and treble tone controls offer equalization.

High grade digital chorus has depth and speed controls as well as stereo output. Key transpose lets you shift pitch in semitone steps up to five semitones above and six semitones below normal. Excellent performance as a MIDI master keyboard. Extended MIDI data transmission capabilities are supported with pitch bend, modulation wheel, initial touch, after touch, and program change data. You can also "split" the keyboard at any point so that MIDI data is sent from only one section. This is useful for obtaining split keyboard effects with synthesizer sound source modules.

The SG-1D is a sampled piano in which sampling technology has been catapulted to a completely new dimension. The reality of sound and expression is stunning - right from the attack of the sound when the key is struck and the resonance of the sound throughout the body of the piano, to the swell and slow decay of the sound. Four preset sounds are provided: PIANO I,II and E. PIANO I,II. Optional ROM cards let you augment the sound library of the New SG-1D with such instruments as organ, vibes and guitar.

Moreover, you can fine-tune the sound to your liking with the built-in 3-band equalizer, brilliance, and digital chorus controls. Full sized keys and an authentic weighted action provide exceptional expressive control. You can even customize the keyboard's response over an 8-step range. The New SG-1D performs equally well as a sophisticated master keyboard for MIDI system control. Full MIDI implementation and functions such as local ON/OFF, split as well as program change, damper pedal are received and transmitted via MIDI. ($3195 list)
