Korg Grandstage X Stage Piano
Korg Grandstage X Stage Piano
At the heart of the Grandstage X lies its unparalleled sound technology, featuring seven advanced sound engines, each of which is an instrument in its own right. This collection includes the flagship SGX-2 and EP-1 engines, delivering hugely authentic and dynamic piano and electric piano sounds.
The SGX-2 engine is stunning, a result of the meticulous recording of world-class acoustic pianos. It captures every nuance of piano performance with up to an astonishing 12 levels of velocity switches, non-looping samples across all keys, and a depth of resonance that replicates the acoustic intricacies of pedal pressure and mechanical sounds. This engine alone sets a new benchmark in digital piano sound replication.
Accompanying the SGX-2 is the EP-1, a tribute to the golden era of electric pianos. It revives the soulful tones of vintage keyboards with its rich, organic, and distorted sounds. This engine features a collection of seven diverse vintage electric piano sounds, each crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every performance is imbued with authenticity and character.
A library of legendary pianos
The Grandstage X features an extensive library of 13 main pianos, encompassing a variety of styles from grand pianos of German and Italian heritage to the unique sounds of Japanese pianos. This diverse collection includes the new GSX Piano and Nautilus Piano, each offering mixable close and far mic recordings for an immersive sonic experience. The inclusion of upright and small grand pianos, the iconic OASYS Piano, the SG1D Korg stage piano, and the quintessential 80s and 90s M1 Piano, along with the historical fortepiano, mono pianos and mid-focused instruments, illustrate Korg's commitment to offering a comprehensive range of tones to suit any genre, performance, and venue.
Organ sounds and analogue modelling
In addition to pianos, the Grandstage X features three distinctive organ sounds: the CX-3, Vox, and FC-1, each meticulously recreated to capture the essence of their respective eras. The AL-1 analogue modelling sound source adds another layer of versatility, perfect for crisp leads and full-bodied brass sounds. The HD-1 PCM sound source further enriches the sound palette, with a plethora of distinctive keyboard sounds from electric grands to harpsichords and pipe organs.
A statement of power and elegance
The Grandstage X is a visual and tactile delight. Its light ivory white body, crafted from solid, painted aluminium, exhibits smooth curves and a perforated metal design that blends vintage charm with futuristic elegance. This instrument is not just about sound; it's a statement piece, a testament to Korg's philosophy of blending visual artistry with musical innovation.
The Grandstage X enhances performance with intuitive layering and splitting. Its part control section, with three-part buttons and sliders, allows for easy sound blending and keyboard splitting. Toggle layers and splits with a simple on/off button and finetune volume balances effortlessly. The display conveniently shows program names for each part, making modifications a breeze. This feature not only facilitates quick adjustments during performances but also invites exploration of diverse sound combinations, offering a seamless blend of creativity and control.
The key-touch slider is a game-changer, offering instant control over volume and timbre changes with each keystroke. This feature, along with the RH3 keyboard's Real Weighted Hammer Action, ensures that every subtlety of your playing style is captured and expressed with utmost fidelity.
Tube warmth, unison and sound shaping
The Nutube technology included in Grandstage X offers switchable warm, analogue like sound conditioning, while the Unison function adds depth and richness to your sounds. The onboard effects and equalizers allow for on-the-fly sound shaping, which is crucial for adapting to different performance environments.
Rhythms and chord progressions
For solo performers, the Grandstage X offers an evolved rhythm and chord progression function, providing a full-fledged rhythm track that complements your playing, enhancing your performances with professional-grade backing tracks.
The ST-WGS wooden keyboard stand (sold separately) is specially designed to match the soft curves of the Grandstage X body. The warmth of real wood makes this stand perfect for a modern living room or a formal stage. The legs are made of wood from properly managed forests in consideration of the natural environment.
