With 90 digital sounds, a metronome with 100 drum patterns, record with overdub functions and so much more, the new K-300 AURES 2 presents the pianist with the promise of new avenues of creativity and expression. Engage the muting function and you can enjoy playing silently through headphones at any time, without disturbing anyone. The musical possibilities are endless with the new K-300 AURES 2 hybrid piano.
Features
The K-300 Aures 2 offers the signature AnyTime feature, acoustic muting. The acoustic muting feature gives players the option to play through headphones, without compromising the touch of an acoustic keyboard. Whether players live in environments that restrict piano practice to specific hours of the day, need a piano that shares the space with other media devices, or wish to practice privately without disturbing others, this feature is the practical solution for a multitude of scenarios pianists face.
With an intuitive interface of the PianoRemote app, players can engage themselves with a variety of other instrument presets, such as electric piano, strings, organ. Lesson books, metronome, and recorder are programmed as well, to aid players.
The K-300 Aures 2 offers Bluetooth MIDI and Audio connectivity, allowing wireless connection between the piano and smart devices. The Virtual Technician allows users to refine various parameters of their K-300 Aures 2 to fit their musical needs and style in real-time. With equipped USB connectors, the K-300 Aures2 can connect to computers or USB memory devices. Standard MIDI jacks are available for connecting to other instruments.
