Piano perfect for home, school, church, etc.
KORG'S PIANO SOUNDS:
THE CHOICE OF PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS
Korg instruments are praised by professional musicians around the world for
their superior sound. The new SP-500 Digital Piano continues that tradition
with it rich sampled pianos -- including a stunning stereo grand piano. And
with a generous 64 notes of polyphony, the SP-500 ensures that notes will not
be interrupted, even when you perform with full use of the damper pedal.
The SP-500 is loaded with 396 sound programs, all taken from Korg's professional
synthesizers. In addition to 19 different piano sounds, the SP-500 boasts a
selection of electric piano, organ, flute/sax, brass, strings, guitar, drum
and synthesizer sounds. There are also eight special Melody Voice programs featuring
natural-sounding vibrato that realistically captures each instrument's expressivity.
Any two sounds can be layered together or split between the SP-500's high and
low ranges.
THE SP-500 FEATURES TRUE GRAND PIANO TOUCH
The SP-500 Digital Piano features Korg's newest Real
Weighted Hammer Action IIkeyboard that responds to your playing in the same
way a grand piano does. It provides a heavier touch in the low register and
a lighter touch in the high register. The SP-500's Key Touch Control function
can be adjusted in six stages, letting you select the sensitivity you prefer.
AUTOMATIC ACCOMPANIMENT BRINGS YOUR MUSIC TO LIFE
The SP-500's professionally-produced accompaniment styles make it easy for you
to create great sounding ensemble performances. Its Pianist Rhythm Styles provide
accompaniments featuring piano-type left-hand passages that enable even novice
players to sound like accomplished pianists. A wide range of Rhythm Styles covering
rock, pop, jazz and more enable the SP-500 to deliver the full-sounding performance
of a complete pro backup band. The SP-500 comes loaded with 128 Rhythm Styles,
26 Pianist Rhythm Styles and room for 64 User Styles you can create and save
to memory.
TOUCHVIEW PUTS THE POWER OF THE SP-500 AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.
The new SP-500 Digital Piano boasts Korg's advanced TouchView Graphical User
Interface, a feature found on the company's flagship music workstations. The
touch-panel LCD lets you select or modify sounds and accompaniment styles by
simply touching words or images displayed on the screen. Operation is easy,
and the functions are literally at your fingertips.
The SP-500 also provides a Help function to ensure that even first-time users
can quickly master its operation. Just press the Help button at any time and
an explanation of each function appears in the large TouchView display.
DIGITAL EFFECTS ADD DRAMA AND SPARKLE TO YOUR MUSIC
The SP-500 delivers a full complement of 37 different effects. These include
reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, exciter, distortion, overdrive, phaser, rotary
speaker auto-pan and tremolo. The SP-500 Digital Piano's high-quality effects
share the same heritage as the effects in Korg's professional and stage instruments.
TWO EASY-TO-USE RECORDING MODES
When you play, you can save your performance to the SP-500's internal memory
as one of up to 100 songs. No floppy disk is required. This provides a convenient
way to play back your performances or listen to lessons. You can record your
realtime piano performances or use the accompaniment system to capture a complete
ensemble production. You can even use step-recording to enter your chords one
at a time. Since the SP-500 is GM compatible it can be hooked up to a computer
or other MIDI-equipped devices to play back song files, take interactive music
lessons and many other fun and educational musical activities.

The SP-500 Digital Piano's clean, stylish design and silver finish will make
it at home in any décor. The piano's compact size will also allow the
SP-500 to fit in many places that a traditional piano or larger digital piano
couldn't.
