The GEM PRP-800 Portable Digital Piano integrates
the technology and specs already available in the GEM RealPiano series
models, with the extraordinary sounds of the GEM Promega series that
has become the reference for professional piano players around the
world. Thanks to the powerful DRAKE processor (DSP-Risc Advanced
Keyboard Engine), the PRP800 offers extraordinary acoustic and digital
piano presets, featuring an incredibly realistic and superb quality
sound with an impressive 80 notes maximum polyphony.
The
acoustic piano sounds incorporate GEM's acclaimed patented physical
modeling algorithms like Damper Physical Model, Natural String
Resonance, advanced Release Technology and Filter Algorithm Dynamic
Emulation (FADE). Simply put, this exclusive technology faithfully
reproduces the natural acoustic properties of a real acoustic piano,
resulting in what we believe to be the most realistic piano tone and
feel ever created.
The internal database includes high standard
PCM sounds with accurate stereo and mono samples, among which is the
famous Fazioli concert grand F308. The exclusive algorithms and
physical models for real time sound generation allows the GEM PRP800 to
reproduce the mythical vintage sounds of famous electronic pianos such
as Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Clavinet with superb reality. 32 sounds (16
presets + 16 variations) are available and can be used in different
modes: Single, Split (with programmable split point) and Layer. The
effects section includes 4 reverbs and 4 modulation (user editable)
effects that enhance the overall sound.
The importance of music
education encouraged the GEM design team to incorporate functions to
enhance the learning process and enjoyment. The digital metronome makes
learning easier, offering a precise reference guide. The recorder (2
track, 20.000 event) allows you to record and re-listen to your
performances. An internal Music Library containing 50 of the world's
most famous piano pieces, all performed and recorded meticulously,
provides tremendous educational benefits.
The Music Library
allows the student to study a piece of music, playing each part
separately at a speed he is comfortable with. Compact, light-weight and
easy-to-carry, PRP800 digital piano features a new 88 note "Graded
Hammer Action" for a perfectly realistic piano feeling along with a
high level of expressive control. The cabinet styling is modern and
elegant, enhanced by a semi-transparent and blue back-lit music stand.
The
internal 10W + 10 W digital amplifier is perfectly tuned and matched to
the audio system that incorporates elliptical speakers. The rear panel
features many connection possibilities including USB interface for PC
use. Using the optional triple pedal (not included) unit it is possible
to totally control the Damper, (thanks to the patented Damper Physical
Model technology), allowing the recognition and control of 16 different
action levels during its use. This also allows possible tones such as
"half pedal" reproducing the real sound of the strings of an acoustic
piano that, pressing the pedal, are free to resonate in sympathy with
the notes being played.
