Need to change the key?
EUROGRAND’s transpose function allows
you to change the key at the flick of a
switch. Don’t like playing in the key of D flat?
Transpose the pitch up a half-step, and voila
you can now play the song in the key of “C”
and it will sound like it’s in D flat. This feature
really comes in handy if you’re accompanying
a vocalist who is more comfortable with a
higher or lower key than the original version.
You can raise or lower the pitch by half-steps,
up to a full octave.
We have connections…
The EUROGRAND is equipped with a
stereo LINE IN connec tor for external sound
sources, such as a CD/Tape/mp3 player or
drum computer. This allows you to play
along with pre-recorded music via the
EUROGRAND’s internal loudspeakers or
through your own headphones.
An onboard MIDI connection enables
you to use an external sound generator for
even more tonal capabilities. You simply
run a MIDI cable from the EUROGRAND to
your sound module and then connect the
module’s audio output to the LINE IN jacks on
the piano. The resulting sounds can then be
heard through the speakers or headphones.
You can also use EUROGRAND’s MIDI
capability to record and manipulate
tracks on your computer. There are many
software sequencing programs on the
market that allow you to build songs layer
upon layer, creating performances that
range from simple to extremely complex.
Additional MIDI options allow you to produce
and/or print sheet music or playback musical
pieces. What’s more, you can transfer the
data from the built-in sequencer to your
computer for permanent storage.
Alternate tunings
The tuning system we use today is
referred to as “Equal” tuning. It has been
a characteristic element of the music
composed from the 19
th
century to the
present, with the notes in an octave divided
into twelve equal parts. But that has not
always been the case.

Connecting an external sound source
to the EUROGRAND
Over the ages, piano tunings
have come and gone. Some of these
tunings were created specifically for
the works of renowned composers and
are representative of specific musical
periods. Renaissance and Baroque are
two examples of periods when certain
musical intervals fell in and out of favor.
EUROGRAND pianos allow you to select
authentic period tunings, so you can hear
the works of Beethoven, Bach, and the
other master composers as they were
originally intended.
Tuning an acoustic piano is a
time-consuming and expensive process,
and it would have to be done often to
accommodate both the “old” and “new”
tuning systems. Since the EUROGRAND
is digital, it’s as simple as pressing a
button to access any of the following
tunings:Equal tuning (default setting)
• Pure major tuning
• Pure minor tuning
• Pythagorean tuning
• Meantone tuning
• Werckmeister tuning
• Kirnberger tuning
