The exclusive
use of Generalmusic's DRAKE technology in the new RP800 Real Piano,
enables all musicians, from beginners to professional pianists,
to realize their total musical potential. Professional pianos powered
by DRAKE have been acclaimed by leading musicians around the world,
as the most realistic sounding electronic pianos ever created.
DRAKE technology and Sounds
Generalmusic's team of sound design engineers have drawn from
their years of expertise to produce a new, large high-quality
PCM database of stunning realistic instrument recordings. Included
is the astonishing Fazioli; F308 concert grand piano. The real-time
physical modelling system, made possible by DRAKE technology,
also reproduces classic electro-mechanical instruments like Rhodes,
Wurlitzer and Clavinet with astonishing reality.
Physical Models
The acoustic piano sounds incorporate GEM's acclaimed patented
physical modelling algorithms like Damper Physical Model, Natural
String Resonance, Advanced Release Technology and Filter Algorithm
Dynamic Emulation (FADE). Simply put, this exclusive technology
faithfully reproduces the natural acoustic properties of a real
acoustic piano, resulting in what we believe to be the most realistic
piano tone and feel ever created.
Powerful effects
The internal DSP effect section generates various reverbs and
high quality effects adding dimensional spatiality and warmth
to the instrument's overall sound.
Keyboard feel and performance
The RP800 is equipped with a weighed keyboard incorporating an
Enhanced Real Hammer Action, a feel normally associated with a
grand piano. The realistic touch and high level of expressive
control makes this instrument ideal for virtually any style of
piano performance.
Education qualities
The importance of music education and the documented benefits
associated with such, encouraged our design team to incorporate
functions to enhance the learning process and enjoyment. The digital
metronome makes learning easier, offering a precise reference
guide. The recorder (2 tracks, 20,000 events) allows you to record
and re-listen to your performances. An internal music library
containing some of the world's most famous piano pieces, all performed
and recorded meticulously, provides tremendous educational benefits.
The music library allows you to study a piece of music, playing
each part separately, at a speed you're comfortable with. Packaged
with the piano is a music scorebook containing all the pieces
of the library.

Based on the proprietary DRAKE technology that raises the benchmark
for all manufacturers to meet, the RP800 provides a level of authenticity
never before available in this price range. The realistic keyboard
feel and the easy to use, well thought out control panel make
the instrument exceptional value and ideal for learning or performance.
