Expressive Playing Pleasure
Play the keys strongly and the sound gets louder. Play them softly and it becomes gentle and delicate. This expressive touch response function brings out even the most minute sound nuances in your performance. In addition, a vast variety of instrument Voices, including pianos, guitars, bass, drums and many others—plus a wealth of built-in songs—further expand your pleasure as you play.

Have Fun, Get Better
The keyboard features 3-step Lessons that let you practice according to your own personal level, allowing you to practice with just your right hand, or your left hand, or both hands together with the built-in Songs, and practice the same phrases repeatedly as needed. It also evaluates your practice sessions, giving you feedback and even greater practice enjoyment.

Automatic Backing Made Easy
Simply by playing the root note of a chord (or the full chord), the powerful Style features automatically add rhythm, bass, and chordal backing notes to perfectly match the chords you play—easily allowing you to enjoy playing as if you were performing with an entire backing band. In addition, the Auto Chord Play function lets you automatically produce musically appropriate chord progressions and further expand your musical horizons.
