Metronome and Transpose Functions

Activate the metronome for timing assistance during practice. The 'Transpose' function allows you to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down, enabling playing in different keys without changing finger positions.

Weighted Keys and Touch Sensitivity

The 88-key progressive weighted keyboard with graded hammer-action simulates the feel of an acoustic piano. Lower keys have a heavier touch, gradually becoming lighter towards the higher keys. This helps in developing proper finger strength and technique. The piano also offers adjustable touch sensitivity ('Strength' setting) to match your playing style.
