As with other digital pianos, the Privia features a fully weighted keyboard action to simulate the action on an acoustic piano. This key action consists of a mechanical system of small "hammers" and weights attached to each key that will lift up when the key is pressed, while the keys trigger the sensors to generate sound.
A full-range, 88 weighted key version, the Stage 88, began shipping in July 2005; [4] a 76 weighted key version, the Stage 76, was announced at the NAMM Show in January 2006, [5] and a 73 semi-weighted key version, the Stage Compact, started shipping in August 2006. [6] An expanded version, the Nord Stage EX, was released in November 2008. It ...
The Yamaha DGX-620 is the name of a digital piano (also known as the YPG-625).The lettering DGX encompasses the word Digital Grand whereas YPG stands for Yamaha Portable Grand, and the only difference between the names are the markets they are sold in. [1] It was released by Yamaha Corporation in late 2006, the first model of the DGX/YPG series with weighted keys.
Similar to a traditional acoustic piano, the defining feature of a digital piano is a musical keyboard with 88 keys. The keys are weighted to simulate the action of an acoustic piano and are velocity-sensitive so that the volume and timbre of a played note depends on how hard the key is pressed.
In contrast, digital pianos have weighted or semi-weighted keys to replicate the feel of acoustic pianos. Firmware: A program (usually embedded in a computer chip) which handles user interaction with controllers such as the musical keyboard, menus, and buttons. These controllers enable the user to select different instrument sounds (e.g., piano ...
Most digital stage pianos have weighted keys or semi-weighted keys. Fully weighted keys are designed to replicate the weight and playing action of acoustic piano hammer-action keys. They have a piano-like feel and better touch control. Semi-weighted keys are lighter and cheaper to manufacture than fully weighted keys. They give less control and ...
The Nord Piano, released in 2010, has 88 keys with hammer action, an effects section with effects such as reverb and amplifier simulations. [3] It also has some unusual features designed to make the piano sounds more realistic, such a simulation of unplayed strings resonating in sympathy with the played strings, and samples of the pedal noises.
