Thoughtful attention has been paid to the overall design of the entire instrument, as well as to the layout and functionality of the front panel. Some key new features include: Illuminated buttons and intuitive knobs: Buttons light up when you press them to select a sound. The volume and tempo use familiar knob-type controls for easy operation. Two colors to match any decor: Both models are available in a modern, natural brown and a more traditional dark brown to harmonize with any setting. Key cover: A sliding key cover protects the all-important keyboard. Integrated music stand: When not in use, the music stand can be folded down to fit flush into the top of the NC-500. Total design coordination: The newly designed bench reflects the modern design of the instrument, and is adjustable to three different heights for total playing comfort. Clear and Natural Piano Sound The beautiful piano sounds of the NC-500 is derived from stereo digital recordings taken directly from a concert grand piano. The sound is clear and well defined. From the initial strike of the key to the natural resonance as the sound decays, the piano sounds have been sampled lavishly and carefully to faithfully capture the depth and tone of the original instrument. The full dynamic range is preserved, from the delicate crispness of softly played notes, to the rich full character of sustained tones. Experience Dynamic Piano Sound The NC-500 has been equipped with a robust sound system capable of reproducing a rich and vibrant sound and uses a pair of 13 cm speakers that are built into the stand with a resonating port to further enrich the low end. Left and right 3.5 cm tweeters are recessed in the top of the instrument, which reproduce the higher range. The low and high ranges of the sound reach the player independently, providing a more dynamic sound. The Feel of a Grand Piano The NC-500 uses our top-of-the-line Real Weighted Hammer Action 2 (RH2) keyboard. Just as on a grand piano, the key resistance varies across the length of the keyboard, with heavier action in the low register and lighter action as you play toward the upper register. Key touch control lets you select how your playing touch will be translated into the dynamics of the sound. You can choose from light, normal, and heavy response to match your playing style, the character of the piece you are playing, or the nature of the selected sound. Pedal Unit Included All of the pedals of a grand piano - damper, soft, and sostenuto - are provided, a necessity for truly expressive piano performances. The three piano-style pedals are housed in an attractive unit that matches the piano's finish and style. Half-pedaling effects are also supported. Twenty-four Sounds in All, Including Eleven Pianos The eleven built-in
