NUX NPK-20 Professional Digital Piano

NPK-20 builds on the popular NPK-10 digital grand piano with a full 88-note keyboard in the same compact and convenient format. The triple-sensor, graded hammer-action keys have been further optimised to better respond to downforce, rebound and legato passages. Sound is delivered through base-mounted stereo speakers or from 2 headphone outputs under the keyboard’s front edge. A huge palette of 271 internal sounds is divided into 7 groups, including a real, multi-sampled, high-end grand piano, with options for variable keyboard split or dual layering with octave-shift and balance control. Internal effects include 4 reverb models, 4 compression profiles, chorus, delay and 9-band EQ, all with individual parameter settings. Editing is immediate and intuitive using the comprehensive onboard controls, in conjunction with a 4″ full colour LCD display, and all sounds and effect settings can be stored for immediate recall in one of 7 user preset slots. NPK-20 also has a sophisticated auto-accompaniment feature with 100 selectable styles that follow your played chords to construct a full backing track. Alternatively, the Auto-Chord feature may be switched off to use the drum section on its own. USB connection to a computer sends and receives MIDI for recording and playback. MIDI and audio can also be wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth®, which can also be used in conjunction with the free “Piano Mate” app for self tuition and exercises (other third party apps can also take advantage of this feature), with 5 onboard recording slots for practice and playback. In addition to the Aux input, the NPK-20 also features an independent microphone input with separate gain, volume and digital reverb controls. The microphone is mixed with the main keyboard sounds and accompaniment and delivered through the main Left and Right 6.3mm jack outputs for a fully self-contained arrangement. Taking digital pianos to the next level, the NPK-20 is the ultimate player’s performance workstation.
