Read More »What’s up, all my keyboard brothers and sisters, Jacob Dupre here! I think we’d all agree that there really is nothing like the sound of an acoustic piano, especially from the perspective of the player. That very absorbing and intimate experience is one any pianist will speak highly of, and it’s a large part of what makes us fall in love with the instrument. It has been a longtime goal of keyboard manufacturers to try to capture this experience by creating ultra-realistic piano sounds for their keyboards. The technology for sampling acoustic pianos in digital keyboards has gotten remarkably better in recent years. With so many great options out there, you may not know where to start. To help you out, I’ve surveyed Sweetwater’s current selection of digital pianos and compiled a list of keyboards with the most realistic piano sounds.

Read More »When making your wish list of digital pianos, don’t overlook this exceptional instrument. The Kurzweil Forte features 2GB of sample content, including the gorgeous Japanese and German grand pianos. A unique feature is polyphony with dynamic allocation, and the implementation of this technology means you’ll never hear notes drop off when you reach maximum polyphony. Even if you’re playing heavily layered sounds with lots of effects, the Forte is selective about which voices to drop in favor of new ones. Imagine an acoustic piano. When you hold the sustain pedal and play the keys, there is no limit to how many strings will sound. You can sustain all 88 keys simultaneously and continue striking the already ringing strings as many times as you like. The polyphony of the Forte mirrors that aspect of acoustic pianos. Other Kurzweil models with the fully weighted hammer-action keybed include the SP6, Forte SE, and Forte 7 synthesizer. I hope this helps you in your search for a new keyboard! If you want to learn more about these keyboards or any of the dozens of keyboards we carry, just call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer at (800) 222-4700, and they will be glad to assist you.
