The keyboard of the instrument has 88 weighted keys with the use of the technology Responsive Hammer III, which has successfully simulated the acoustic grand piano performance. The technology provided greater stability, a fine control of each key pressed. In addition, the instrument has the Let-off technology with a triple sensor and the key release effect.
