WK-500 High-Grade Keyboard: 76 piano-style keys, high tone quality, powerful functions.
Improved sound quality and keyboard feel
All built-in tones, including piano and acoustic instrument tones, now sound better than ever before! 48-tone maximum polyphony provides plenty of margin to minimize the chance of notes being dropped when tones are layered and when playing with Auto Accompaniment. The 76 note keyboard delivers an easy-to-play keyboard with an appearance resembling that of an acoustic piano. Touch Response let's you add delicate nuances to notes by varying how much pressure you apply to keyboard keys. New digital effects lets you use effects to add reverb for more depth and breadth in your music.
