Features of the Piano
“SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling Sound Engine” Produces Living Piano Sound
This sound engine uses a computer to synthesize a virtualization of an acoustic piano’s sound-
producing mechanism, constructing the sound from scratch in a way that reproduces the rich sound
of a piano with its complex interactions.
It generates a living piano sound that cannot be produced by the conventional sampling (recorded)
sound engines of the past.
“PHA-50 keyboard” Delivers the Playing Feel and Touch of an Acoustic Piano
Hybrid structure made of wood and a polymer center frame.
The center frame structure resists warping or deformation, providing a stable playing feel.
Wood material improves the keyboard’s rigidity and density, and also enhances the playing feel.
This is a maintenance-free keyboard that gives you the playing feel and atmosphere of an acoustic
piano while also excelling in durability.
