Frequently Asked Questions

Grand Feel III is a significant upgrade, offering more consistent key weighting and a more realistic 'let-off' feel, providing a more nuanced dynamic response than previous generations.
Bluetooth 5.0 offers a reliable connection for MIDI data, but occasional dropouts can still occur in environments with significant wireless interference; a wired connection is always more stable.
The speaker system is integrated into the cabinet, making direct replacement difficult; external amplification and speakers would be the preferred solution for increased volume.
