Unlike its flat and compact counterparts, this digital piano is designed to be the centrepiece in the living room, and as you might expect, it's filled to the rafters with the latest technology.The Sound of the Roland LX-9Roland has equipped the LX-9 with a physical modelling sound engine, which goes a few steps further than your standard sample-based engine. Based on parameters such as string length, string tension, damping and resonance, the built-in Piano Reality Modelling engine simulates sound with convincing realism and without any compromises, resulting in a digital piano sound that's virtually indistinguishable from the sound of acoustic pianos.Other HighlightsIn addition to traditional piano sound, the Roland LX-9 offers up E-pianos, a harpsichord, a vibraphone, a choir, strings, organs and more, for a total of 324 different on-board sounds. Add that to the technically unlimited polyphony, the built-in Roland Piano App support and the various inputs and outputs, and you've got everything you would want from a high-end digital upright and then some.

Pendant des années, le Yamaha P-45 s'est vendu comme des petits pains. L'engouement suscité par ce modèle était vraiment troublant et donnait l'impression que tout le monde voulait jouer du piano.

Si vous demandez à un claviériste la caractéristique principale que doit avoir un clavier utilisé sur scène, vous obtiendrez une réponse mentionnant certainement un contrôle direct et rapide. En effet, sur scène, vous n'avez guère le temps de vous plonger dans les paramètres, et les caractéristiques les plus importantes d'un son doivent donc pouvoir être réglées rapidement. Le Yamaha CK61 est un clavier de scène répondant tout à fait à cette attente. Il s'agit d'un clavier de scène typique, bien qu'il faille souligner qu'il intègre également des haut-parleurs, ce qui n'est pas très courant. Donc, chez soi et sur la route, le CK61 présente également un intérêt. Par ailleurs, il peut être alimenté à l'aide de piles, ce qui vous permet de l'utiliser vraiment où bon vous semble !Caractéristiques du Yamaha CK61Le CK combine trois familles de sons : les orgues, les pianos et les synthés. Les orgues peuvent être réglés à l'aide des tirettes harmoniques, et le son est basé sur le Reface YC. Tout cela n'est pas très complexe, mais en tant que claviériste, vous n'avez pas de temps à perdre avec des réglages compliqués. Sur le côté droit, vous pouvez régler rapidement les paramètres audio les plus importants, tels qu'une enveloppe AR, un filtre, une réverbe et d'autres effets. Il s'agit d'options essentielles, et surtout en tant que membre d'un groupe, vous n'aurez que rarement, voire jamais, envie d'approfondir les choses. Votre rôle se limite souvent aux orgues, pianos et synthétiseurs ! Et c'est exactement pour cela que le CK61 est un clavier de scène si intéressant et surtout si logique, parce que vous obtenez ces sons et qu'ils sont de bonne qualité.

Loaded with mechanical instead of analogue or digital oscillators, the Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth MKII is truly something else. More specifically, this unique synthesizer comes equipped with eight little DC motors that generate sound with the help of IR sensors and electromagnetic pickups. While not exactly mainstream, the Motor Synth boasts three deeply unique voices that can be tightly steered in any sonic direction.The Gamechanger Audio Motor Synth MKII: The First Electro-Mechanical Synthesizer EverSince spinning oscillators alone isn't enough for fresh sounds, the Motor Synth MKII also sets you up with multi-filters, envelopes, LFOs, motion-sequencing and more. The built-in motors serve up sine, saw and square waves plus an M-waveform generated by electromagnetic pickups planted at the base of each motor. Also, while this is the world's first electro-mechanical synth, its flashing lights and moving parts are by no means gimmicky as, ultimately, this singular synthesizer may just give adventurous sound-sculptors exactly what they've been searching for.

La gamme AIRA Compact de Roland s'enrichit d'un nouveau modèle : le S-1 Tweak Synth. Ayant le même format que les trois modèles précédents (le T-8, le J-6 et le E-4), le S-1 est donc parfaitement compatible avec les étuis et les pochettes déjà disponibles. Alors que le T-8 et le J-6 étaient des éditions compactes des anciens TR, TB et Juno, le S-1 est un peu plus qu'un nouveau synthé. Il dispose en interne du moteur ACB, que Roland utilise pour simuler à la perfection le comportement des puces et de la carte mère.Caractéristiques du Roland AIRA Compact S-1Vous pouvez considérer le S-1 comme un synthétiseur soustractif assez générique avec une polyphonie à 4 voix et plusieurs oscillateurs par voix. Comme nous en connaissons un peu sur les ondes en dents de scie et les ondes carrées, le S-1 vous permet également de dessiner votre propre oscillateur, et fournit donc en fait un système aux possibilités infinies. Un autre élément très intéressant, apparu précédemment avec le SH-4d de Roland, est la fonction D-Motion. Vous pouvez donc prendre le S-1 et l'incliner comme vous le faites avec votre smartphone. Il contient un capteur de mouvement qui convertit ces mouvements en données de contrôle. Le S-1 est un peu plus petit que le SH-4d, ce qui rend tous ces mouvements beaucoup plus faciles à réaliser avec le S-1.Caractéristiques supplémentaires Naturellement, les effets ne manquent pas... chorus, delay, reverb, ils donnent à votre son la sauce qui rend le tout si savoureux. Bien qu'à première vue le nombre de commandes semble assez clair, vous pouvez faire beaucoup plus avec ce synthé que les photos ne le suggèrent. Il y a, par exemple, un séquenceur pas à pas assez puissant, et vous pouvez le synchroniser avec d'autres AIRA Compact - ou même des Eurorack - à l'aide d'un câble. Si vous possédez déjà un AIRA Compact sorti précédemment, c'est certainement dans celui-ci qu'il faut investir. Si vous êtes également fan des applis mobiles, telles que vous les connaissez grâce à l'AIRA Compact et à la Boutique, alors vous ne devez absolument pas passer à côté de celui-ci !

Just like the original Yamaha Piaggero, the all-new Piaggero NP-35 strikes the perfect balance between size, price and performance. Easy to store, set-up, manage and transport, this 76-note digital piano is slightly bigger than the 61-note NP-15 model, making it an excellent choice for any pianist looking to build a big repertoire.Features of the Yamaha NP-35 PiaggeroWhile this portable piano has been loaded with various different sounds, for most musicians it's all about the piano sound. Without further ado, the NP-35 Piaggero features the sublime sound of the massively expensive Yamaha CFIIIS grand piano, along with the sound of various organs, strings and e-pianos - any of which can be combined at will. This modern digital piano naturally also offers app support which means things get even better with a tablet (not included) and, besides the included power supply, it can be powered and played anywhere using six LR6 AA batteries. A music rest is included.
