Main features

Thirty-two Premium Instrument Sounds
Built into the Korg G1/G1 Air Digital Piano are 32 unique instru-
ment sounds-including a total of three distinct European and
Japanese concert grand pianos. The G1/G1 Air also allows two
sounds be played at once from the keyboard. Layer Mode: Each
key will play two sounds simultaneously. Split Mode: One of
three Bass sounds can be assigned to play on the lower half of the
keyboard, independent of the upper sound. Partner Mode: The
keyboard can be divided into two playing areas, making it ideal
for lessons with student and teacher side-by-side.
Built-in Demo Songs and Etudes
The G1/G1 Air includes a total of 50 pre-recorded performances;
the 10 Sound Demo Songs make full use of the onboard sounds,
while the 40 Piano Song etudes allow the player to develop their
skills by playing along with the entire performance, or with either
the right- or left-hand part muted.
Accurate Pedal Features
The G1/G1 Air provides the same three pedal functions
found on a grand piano-Damper (sustain); Sostenuto; and
Soft (una corda). Both the damper and soft pedals respond
to half-pedaling, varying the depth of the effect by how far
down the pedal is pressed. Pressing down on the damper
pedal also adds realistic damper resonance to the number
1 and 2 sounds of the G.PIANO, A.PIANO and J.PIANO
button.
Digital Metronome
Perfect for rhythm training, the built-in metronome offers a user-
variable tempo, volume, and time signature. Choose a traditional
pendulum sound or modern-day digital tone.
Onboard Effects
The G1/G1 Air offers three built-in digital effects-each offering
three levels-to enhance the quality of the internal sounds. These
effects can emphasize the brightness and clarity of the tone (Bril-
liance); simulate the natural ambience of a concert hall (Reverb);
and add depth and motion to the sound (Chorus).
Adjustable Keyboard Touch
You can choose from five different settings to adjust how the sound
will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
Temperament Selection
In order to create an authentic performance in a wide range of mu-
sic genres, the G1/G1 Air can be set to one of nine temperaments,
including equal temperament, pure temperaments (major and mi-
nor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister), as
well as temperaments used with Middle Eastern and Indian folk
music. When an acoustic piano sound is selected, the stretched
tuning used with traditional pianos is automatically selected.
Play in any Key
The Transpose feature can quickly transpose the G1/G1 Air to play
in any musical key-without changing the player's fingering. The
Master Tuning parameter can make fine adjustments in the overall
pitch of the instrument.
Onboard Recorder
Integrated into the G1/G1 Air is a powerful two-part recorder. Cre-
ate, record, and playback a library of multi-part performances that
can be recalled at any time.
Dual Headphone Jacks
With two identical headphone jacks, the G1/G1 Air allows two
people-parent & child, student & teacher, or friends-to listen
and enjoy the sound of the G1/G1 Air simultaneously.
The Right Connections
Your new G1/G1 Air is equipped with a stereo Line Out jack, USB
port, plus MIDI IN and MIDI OUT jacks, allowing the G1/G1 Air
to connect to an external sound system or recording setup, a com-
puter, or other MIDI enabled devices.
Bluetooth speaker (G1 Air only)
If a device compatible with Bluetooth audio is connected via Blue-
tooth, the G1 Air can be used as a wireless speaker.
