Bluetooth audio support
Connect a Bluetooth device such as a smartphone to C1 Air and enjoy playing the piano along with your stored music or other audio. When you are not playing the piano, you can use C1 Air as a powerful Bluetooth speaker system.
RH3 keyboard provides a great-feeling playing experience
C1 Air features Korg's Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (RH3) keyboard, which accurately simulates the playing experience of a grand piano with a heavier playing feel in the lower register that becomes lighter as you move up the keyboard. RH3 is extremely responsive, even when notes are repeated quickly, while the performer's expressive dynamics are faithfully interpreted even in the most complex passages. Key touch control is also provided, with a choice of five levels of sensitivity – light, normal, heavy, stable and fixed – to specify how your playing dynamics are reflected by the sound produced.
Tradition and technology in harmony create a concert grand piano virtually anywhere
The sound of a piano changes significantly depending on how it is played. In order to provide this high level of expressive power from a digital piano, two concert grand pianos were selected by professional pianists, regulated and tuned by master technicians and sampled by Korg engineers. This complex process enables C1 Air to simulate the experience of playing either a German grand or a Japanese grand and were chosen to reflect a broad musical spectrum providing faithful recreations of dark, subtle and intense classical music through to bright and powerful jazz and pop music. C1 Air gives you natural and satisfying grand piano performance at home, on stage or in the studio.
Damper resonance
Both the German grand piano and the Japanese grand piano sounds realistically recreate the damper resonance effect produced by the sympathetic resonance of the strings in an acoustic piano when the damper pedal is held down.
Key-off simulation
Key-off simulation recreates the sounds produced when the player's fingers lift off the keys. The damper resonance effect and key-off simulation provide an even greater feeling of realism as you play.
Sophisticated and elegant design
While paying homage to the acoustic piano's traditional form, a unique design philosophy elevates C1 Air above the bland, rectangular appearance of many digital pianos. The contemporary design features linear legs which accentuate the overall styling of the instrument and, at only 10.24" in depth (excluding anti-tip hardware), C1 Air can be placed virtually anywhere. Keeping safety in mind, the cover uses a 'soft landing' mechanism to ensure that it closes gently.
Speaker system delivers high output and great sound
C1 Air features a specially designed speaker system that delivers the incredibly realistic sounds of pianos and other instrument voices in superb detail. High-quality speakers are powered by a 25W × 2 amplifier to deliver rich sound with depth and clarity. From rounded bass to brilliant highs, you will experience the nuanced, expressive power of a grand piano in your own home.
Enjoy 30 high-quality instrument sounds and studio effects
The German grand piano, characterized by brilliant highs and rounded bass, is one of richness and power. The Japanese grand piano is characterized by its dynamic sound and is frequently used for a wide range of music genres from classical to jazz and pop. In addition to a choice of these acoustic piano sounds, C1 Air also offers electric piano sounds, organ, clav, vibraphone, acoustic guitar, strings and more, giving you a total of 30 richly expressive sounds. Three high-quality effects are also available: brilliance, reverb and chorus. Optimal effects are preset for each of the built-in sounds, so all you need to do is select a sound and enjoy playing immediately with the ideal settings.
Equipped with three pedals as standard with half-pedaling feature
The pedals are an essential element of piano performance, and C1 Air is equipped with the full complement of three pedals found on a grand piano: damper, soft and sostenuto. The damper and soft pedals also feature half-pedaling for even more detailed expression.
A variety of keyboard layout options
Simply by pressing one button, you can apply a bass sound to the lower register of the keyboard. Play piano with your right hand and bass with your left to instantly enjoy jazz performance styles. By pressing two of the tone buttons simultaneously you can easily layer two sounds together. For example, layer piano and strings to play with a rich piano and orchestra combination. There's also a partner mode that enables you to divide the piano keyboard into two identical sections on left and right, each with their own damper pedal. This is a great way for teacher and pupil to play duets or copy and practice during lessons. Forty piano songs are included with helpful features for practicing. To help you learn, you can control the tempo, play back the right-hand and left-hand parts separately, and use A-B repeat to practice more complex sections.
Two-track song recorder to instantly record your performance
Two-track digital recording is instantly available to help you analyze or archive your performances. You can record each hand separately or record an additional track onto a previously-recorded song. Playback tempo can be adjusted and up to 99 user songs can be saved in C1 Air.
