Frequently Asked Questions
Grand Feel III is a significant improvement, offering more consistent key weighting and a more realistic escapement, closely mimicking the feel of an acoustic grand piano.
You can record via USB, but the lack of dedicated line outputs limits direct connection to a high-end audio interface for pristine recordings.
The Bluetooth audio input works well for casual playing along, but expect a slight latency that might not be ideal for critical performance work.
