Korg Concert D1 Portable Digital Piano

The Korg D1 is a Digital Piano that delivers something for everyone - if you need portability for the live stage, great sounds for the studio, or a sublime look that sits well at home - D1 offers it all.

Grand Piano feel in a portable package

Whether you play Jazz, Rock, Funk, Blues or cover it all - The D1 includes a selection of 30 high quality sounds from Korg's acclaimed Grand Piano, Electric Piano and Organ library, built over 50 years in the business. A real weighted hammer-action RH3 keybed replicates the feel and elegant touch of a traditional Grand Piano - with a heavy bottom and a lighter top register - enhancing the nuances of cutting-edge sounds under the hood.

The CONCERT series is a line of pianos that are designed to provide the same performance experience as when listening or playing in a concert hall, in every aspect of sound, touch, and musical experience. This lineup lets you enjoy playing in any situation, from home use to performances on stage.

Key Features

• Japanese-made high-quality RH3 keybed.
• A compact body that you can take anywhere.
• 30 high-quality sounds.
• Cutting-edge technology faithfully reproduces the resonances of a grand piano.
• Convenient functions that you expect from a digital piano.
• In addition to standard-sized LINE OUT jacks, MIDI IN/OUT connectors are also provided.
• Music rest and dedicated pedal for stage play also included.

Highly Portable

The chassis construction has been rethought with a new structure and design that slims the body to a depth of approximately 26 cm* (10.24"), the minimum depth that still allows enjoyable playing. Even though the D1 features a full-fledged weighted keybed, it's highly mobile, and can be carried anywhere in its dedicated SC-D1 soft case (sold separately). The stylish ST-SV1 stand (sold separately) completes a great-looking setup on stage or in your room.
*: Without the music rest

Serious Sound.

The D1 contains a total of 30 richly expressive sounds which include not only a variety of piano sounds to cover genres such as classical, jazz, and pop, but also electric piano, organ, and clavi sounds that will be useful on stage, and even sounds such as vibraphone, acoustic guitar, and strings. The electric piano sounds reproduce not only the tonal differences in response to your playing touch but also the key-off noise. Six variations are built in, covering sounds often used in the popular music of the '60s and '70s as well as tones that are treasured in soul music.

Six versatile Organ sounds are provided, ranging from sounds used in rock or jazz to solemn pipe organ tones.

Realistic Piano Tone

In order to achieve a playing feel that's amazingly close to that of an acoustic piano, the sound switches between four piano samples depending on the dynamics of your performance. From a delicate touch to dynamic fortissimo, the sound responds realistically to your playing. The overall piano sound is enjoyable to play and delivers an authentic experience.

The Concert Piano, Grand Piano and Jazz Piano sounds reproduce damper resonance, realistically simulating the spacious resonance produced by the sympathetic vibration of the strings when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano.

Key-off simulation

The Korg D1 also simulates the decay of the sound when you take your finger off a key and the way in which your playing technique affects the string resonance, responding to staccato or legato in a natural way that further enhances the expressiveness of your performance.

Metronome

The Korg D1 features a built-in Metronome so you're always in time. Practice makes perfect!

Layer Mode

D1 offers the ability to layer two voices at once, so you can create rich, harmonic textures by combining a Piano, Organ, Guitar or Strings and playing them simultaneously.

High Quality Effects

The D1 Piano features 3 high quality effects to add space and ambience to your performance. Choose from Brilliance, Reverb and chorus to fine tune your perfect sound.

Comprehensive Connections

The D1 provides the external connection jacks that you'll need on stage. The standard-sized LINE OUT jacks can be connected directly to amplified speakers or to recording equipment. MIDI IN/OUT connectors are also provided. You can connect these via a MIDI interface to your computer, and use the D1 as a MIDI keyboard or as a piano sound module.

Rest and Pedals Included

The music rest that's indispensable for stage performance is included standard, and can easily be attached to the D1. Also included is a compact-sized damper pedal for convenient portability.
