Korg
brings a heightened level of realism and feel to
its line of portable digital pianos with the new
SP-250.The SP-250 provides an expanded range of
expression and performance with an outstanding new
stereo piano sound, which is matched to a third-generation
RH3 graded action keyboard. The SP-250 Digital Piano
is the perfect answer for any pianist looking for
rich piano sounds and the convenience of a lightweight,
portable instrument.
Superb
Piano Sound
The robust sound of a concert grand piano has been
carefully and lavishly sampled for the SP-250. Differences
in playing dynamics and position in the stereo field
have been faithfully captured, delivering naturally
expressive piano sounds that recreate every detail.
The SP-250’s all-new piano samples are longer
than other pianos in its class. Increased length
means the piano sound sustains more naturally, so
the piano sounds more real throughout the performance,
not just at the attack. Three versions of this wonderful
piano sound are provided to cover different tastes
and genre needs. To round out the piano offerings,
the SP-250 also features a vintage electric grand
sound, as well as an authentic honky-tonk piano.
Grand
Piano Playing Experience
The SP-250 is the first Korg digital piano to feature
the all new RH3 real weighted hammer action. This
state-of-the-art key mechanism features differing
key weights in each register of the keyboard, delivering
the same playing experience as a grand piano. The
keyboard is exceptionally responsive, even when
playing quickly repeated figures, to preserve every
expressive nuance of the performer. The Key Touch
Control provides three selectable touch curves,
delivering the perfect touch sensitivity for every
playing style or type of song. Yet even with such
a robust keyboard, the SP-250 weighs less than 42
pounds (19 kg.).
A
Wide Palette of Sounds
In addition to its remarkable new piano sound, the
SP-250 includes a rich array of sounds that will
extend your performance possibilities. An assortment
of classic electric pianos (reed and tine styles),
church and jazz organs, string and choir sounds,
harpsichord and clav(s), even mallet percussion
and guitar sounds are available at the touch of
a button. Two sounds can be layered together to
play simultaneously; and of course you can adjust
the balance to get the perfect blend. To help you
audition the sounds 30 demonstration songs ranging
from classics to originals are built in, showing
off all the sounds in a variety of musical genres.
Dual
Effects
To further enhance the sound, the SP-250 provides
both a Reverb effect that recreates the spaciousness
of a concert hall, and a Chorus effect that adds
a colorful depth to the sound. The effects settings
have been optimized for each individual sound and
the user can choose from three levels – Light,
Normal and Deep – to complement his or her
performance.
Style
and Versatility
The chic black design is highlighted by metal and
wood-grain accents, with a solid music rack included
that mounts in seconds. The control panel is simple
and easy-to-use and includes 19 LED indicators for
instant visual feedback. The SP-250 is perfect for
those who appreciate quality in both sound and design
Full
Range Sound System
The SP-250 contains a custom system featuring two
10 cm dual-cone speakers matched to a pair of 11W
amplifiers that beautifully reproduces its rich
sounds. The bass-reflex speaker system ensures that
every bit of the deep resonances distinctive to
a great piano will be heard.
Stand
and Pedal Included
The SP-250 includes a high-quality damper pedal
that is so important for proper piano performance.
It provides the ultimate expressive control thanks
to half-pedaling, which is a variable damping effect
based on how deep you press the pedal, rather than
the simple on/off switch found on cheaper instruments.
The dedicated stand is both simple and stylish,
and fits securely into a recessed area in the bottom
of the piano providing a remarkably solid feel.
The stand’s lower crossbar even prevents the
pedal from “creeping” forward in performance.
Best of all, the SP-250 can be easily removed from
the stand for moving and taking around for live
performances.
Convenient
Features
Two headphones can be connected simultaneously,
for student and teacher use or family enjoyment.
Thanks to stereo outputs, you can listen to the
sounds of the SP-250 through external speakers,
great for professional performances, schools and
places of worship, and for recording purposes. MIDI
In/Out jacks connect the SP-250 to a synthesizer
or other MIDI-equipped device (computer/sequencer)
allowing the SP-250 to be used as both a master
keyboard and a 16-part multitimbral sound module
for performance and composition.
The Key Transpose function lets you shift the pitch
of the instrument to match the key of a singer,
or to play along with your favorite CDs. An onboard
Metronome is convenient for practicing. You can
add an accent to the first beat (with normal or
bell sounds), and adjust its volume. There's also
a dedicated slider for easy adjustment of the tempo.
In addition to equal temperament, the SP-250 provides
the two most common Baroque and Classical era tunings
(Kirnberger and Werckmeister) for historically-accurate
performances.
