The Sound of Two Italian Concert Grands
The E1 Air offers two distinct Italian concert grand piano voices, each meticulously sampled to preserve its individual character.
Piano 1 offers a bright, transparent tone that suits a wide range of genres, from classical to pop. Its balanced sound makes it perfectly suited for daily practice, composition, and recording.
Piano 2 is a newly sampled full concert grand with a spacious, expressive tone. Rich in nuance and natural ambience, it captures the feeling of performing in a concert hall. From delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo, it responds with the full emotional range of anacoustic grand, making it especially well-suited for expressive solo playing or performanc
e preparation.

Damper Resonance
The Italian grand piano, Classic piano, Jazz piano, Hall piano, and Ballad piano sounds faithfully recreate the "damper resonance" effect - the subtle, sympathetic vibrations of the strings that occur when the damper pedal is pressed. This detail brings added depth and realism to the playing experience, capturing the nuanced behavior of an acoustic piano.

Key-off Simulation

Key-off simulation reproduces the subtle sounds produced when fingers release the keys, adding another layer of realism to the playing experience. Together with damper resonance, it brings greater depth and authenticity to every performance.

RH3 Keyboard

The E1 Air features Korg’s Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (RH3) keyboard, designed to replicate the nuanced feel of a grand piano. The key weight is graded across the range, offering a heavier touch in the lower register that becomes lighter toward the top - just like an acoustic instrument. Highly responsive to fast repetition and subtle dynamics, the RH3 accurately captures the full expression of your performance. Key touch control offers five selectable sensitivity levels (light, normal, heavy, stable, fixed), allowing you to tailor the response to your personal playing style.
RH3 - Premium Japan Quality
Full 3-Pedal System with Half-Pedal Support

- E1 Air includes a full three-pedal system - damper, soft, and sostenuto - just like a traditional piano. Both the damper and soft pedals support half-pedaling, enabling greater nuance and control over your expression. The pedal positioning has also been carefully refined to provide a more natural and comfortable playing experience.
