When it comes to keys, Korg knows a thing or two. The company has put their decades of knowledge and experience into delivering a lightweight, full-scale digital piano: the Liano. Designed with Korg's proprietary Light Touch (LS) action, each of the 88 keys are quick and responsive, striking the sweet spot between synth and piano with their formfactor. A straightforward interface provides convenient access to the eight onboard sounds, including two acoustic pianos, two electric pianos, harpsichord, pipe organ, electric organ, and strings. With a stunningly slim profile, you'll experience the Nautilus-derived Italian Grand piano in unflinching resonance, thanks to the 120-voice polyphony and two 8-watt built-in speakers. An optional battery mode keeps you playing for up to eight hours, using just six AA batteries, with a headphone jack and line out easily accommodating any mobility-minded needs. Plus, the USB-B port handles audio and MIDI, getting you connected to other keyboards, computers, or your DAW of choice. Educators, performers, students, and more will appreciate the included music stand and PS-3 pedal switch. Weighing in under 14 pounds, and less than three inches thick, Music Experience's keyboardists agree that the Liano is a must-have keyboard for those seeking portability with uncompromising sound.
What KORG Says...
Imagine how much better life can be with a piano! Music, expression, entertainment, fulfillment - a piano can make every day more enjoyable. But a piano takes space, it's heavy, it needs tuning, it can be too loud for some homes, so what can we do about this? KORG is proud to announce an all new slim, lightweight piano that solves these problems all while delivering a great feel and outstanding piano sound! Love music and piano even more. Start your new musical life with the Korg Liano!.
The Liano is a mere 130 cm deep and just 7cm thick - including speakers! - while still offering a full-size 88-key keybed. You benefit from a slim, lightweight design, while keeping the important functionality and performance of a piano.
The main operations of the Liano are so easy to understand. Turn the front panel dial to quickly switch between one of eight sounds including piano, electric piano, organ, strings and more - it's that simple. The star amongst the sounds is a renowned Italian grand piano with a beautiful tone, a piano featured at concerts worldwide. The Liano features two effects, a reverb and chorus, that add richness to the sound.
The speakers are located on the front panel to bring the sound directly to you. The bass reflex speaker features specially designed ports, providing a dynamic low-end sound that would otherwise be difficult to produce. And for silent practice there is also a convenient headphone socket.
Even with 88 keys and speakers, this piano weighs just 6.2 kg (plus approx. 200 g when six optional AA batteries are installed), so Liano is easy to move around and store as needed. The lightweight and optional battery power for Liano means it can be used in a wide variety of environments - indoors and outdoors!
*(There is an optional SEQUENZ SC-B2N soft carrying case for Liano.)
Even with built-in speakers, the Liano can run on 6 x AA batteries, giving you approximately eight hours of playing time. Use Liano at home, school or outside at parties, on stage or in street performance - there is plenty of battery life and plenty of fun.
*Note: Battery life depends on the type of batteries used and conditions of use.
The Liano uses a custom designed KORG light touch LS keybed particularly recommended for beginners as well as for players who don't like a heavy key action.
Use the Liano on its own or connect to a computer* and use it as a master keyboard to record music on your DAW software, control an app that offers more piano sounds or otherwise expand Liano's functionality.
*Connection to your PC requires a USB cable (sold separately), and connection to your iPhone or iPad requires a USB cable + Lightning-USB camera adaptor (both sold separately.
The Liano is bundled with software to help improve your music making. These apps include "Skoove" with several levels of piano lessons; "KORG Module" and "KORG Gadget 2 Le" for DAW-based music production; and a 50% discount coupon for "TuneCore", an app that helps you sell your music to the world.
The Liano includes a pedal and sheet music stand you can start playing right away.
With its slim and lightweight body along with a brilliant Italian grand piano sound, Liano allows you to enjoy playing whenever and wherever you like!
