Frequently Asked Questions
The SC3 system aims for acoustic accuracy, but it’s a digital reproduction; subtle nuances of a real soundboard are inevitably lost, though the tone is surprisingly convincing.
Yes, the Bluetooth MIDI is generally stable for basic lesson applications, but latency can be a factor depending on the device and software used.
While the SC3 significantly reduces sound, a faint mechanical noise from the action itself is still present during silent mode – it’s unavoidable with a mechanical action.
