Features Overview
A Piano to Fit Your Life
Designed to complement modern interiors, the E1 Air resembles a sleek console table more than a traditional piano. Its compact 35cm depth makes it ideal for small rooms, while its seamless black finish—including the pedals—adds to its refined appearance. The solid internal structure supports expressive playing and enhances the clarity of the built-in speaker system.
Made in Japan – Premium Quality You Can Trust
Every E1 Air is built in Japan to exacting standards, with attention to detail and craftsmanship that ensures reliability and lasting quality. It's a piano designed to perform beautifully and stand the test of time.
The Sound of Two Italian Concert Grands
The E1 Air features two distinct Italian concert grand pianos. One offers a clear, versatile tone suited for daily practice and composition, while the other delivers a warm, expressive sound with natural ambience—ideal for emotive solo playing and performance preparation.
30 Sounds and Studio-Quality Effects
Alongside its grand piano tones, the E1 Air includes 30 high-quality instrument sounds—from strings and electric pianos to organs and guitars—plus three built-in effects: brilliance, reverb, and chorus. Presets are carefully matched with effect settings for immediate, polished results.
Authentic Acoustic Piano Feel
The E1 Air uses Korg’s RH3 graded hammer-action keyboard to deliver a true acoustic feel, with heavier keys in the lower range and lighter keys up top. Features like damper resonance and key-off simulation further enhance the realism, while key touch control lets you adjust sensitivity to match your style.
Full 3-Pedal System with Half-Pedal Support
A full set of pedals—damper, soft, and sostenuto—comes standard, with support for half-pedaling to allow subtle dynamic control. Pedal spacing and feel are designed for natural, comfortable use.
EvoTone: A New Chapter in Sound Evolution
EvoTone is Korg’s proprietary power delivery system, designed specifically for digital pianos. It provides clean, consistent power that reduces noise, improves dynamic response, and brings out the full tonal detail of every performance, especially during soft passages.
Safety and Comfort in Every Detail
The soft-close lid adds an extra layer of safety, particularly in homes with children. The E1 Air is thoughtfully engineered for both beauty and everyday practicality, making it a natural part of your living space.
Seamless Connectivity
With built-in Bluetooth audio, you can play along with music from your device or use the E1 Air as a high-quality speaker. USB connectivity enables MIDI and audio integration with your smartphone, tablet, or computer for recording and creative use.
Smart Features for Learning & Creativity
A built-in two-track recorder lets you capture your playing instantly, while 40 onboard piano songs offer useful tools for practice—such as adjustable tempo, separate left/right-hand playback, and A-B repeat. You can also use Split, Layer, and Partner keyboard modes for flexible learning and performance, and the metronome helps maintain precise timing.
