KORG GRANDSTAGE: Digital Stage Piano

摘要

Korg keyboards are heavyweights in both market position and gravitational pull. The new Grandstage has a significantly smaller stand-print than the flagship Kronos LS we reviewed a few months ago but still weighs close to a toddler hippo. Power it up, though, and your aching back will soon be forgotten. It's a true delight to anyone seeking an authentic piano playing experience. Before getting too far into this review, I can't fail to mention the 'loudest' design feature of the keyboard -- an unmissable backlit Korg logo in the front panel that instantly turns the Grandstage into an extra lighting fixture at a gig. What's more, you can activate Cycle mode where it transitions through different colours, or even better, make it flash when you hit the keys -- a trick for the party bangers in your set that'll either make you very cool or a social pariah! If you'd rather not have every performance turn into a flamboyant Korg advertisement, there's an option to dim the backlight or turn it off altogether.
