The new RP220 represents the perfect marriage of advanced digital technology and the traditional art of the fine piano-building.

Using the unique ‘FFT Merge’ technology specifically developed by Generalmusic and sophisticated mathematical models, every slightest nuance of the sound and playing characteristics of authentic acoustic pianos has been faithfully reproduced. The RP220 offers the full sonic range of the world’s finest grand pianos, the natural resonance of un-played strings, the real sound of strings when the damper pedal is depressed and the authentic simulation of the attenuation of string vibration after a key is released. The ‘Damper Physical Model’ (GEM patent) allows the damper pedal to recognize 16 different levels during its travel, making even ‘half-pedal’ effects possible and reproducing the real sound of those strings that are free to vibrate when one ore more notes are played with the pedal pressed down. The ‘Advanced Release Technology’ provides a faithful reproduction of the strings’ harmonic reaction to being damped while already in motion, which occurs whenever a key is released. The exclusive ‘3D Transauralizer’ algorithm opens out the sound of the instrument with sparkling clarity, giving a refreshing new depth and character to each and every sound. The ‘Sound Board Simulation’ physical model accurately simulates the behavior of a grand piano sound board, reproducing its acoustic characteristics. The RP220 offers a polyphony of 128 notes and 64 internal sounds plus 64 programmable (including acoustic and electric pianos, vibraphone, harpsichord, jazz and pipe organs, choirs, strings, guitars and basses). The RP220 contains 2 independent digital effects processors with 16 reverbs and 16 effects with separate send levels for each track. Navigation within this vast collection of sounds is made simple by the ergonomically designed control panel with a new 128 x 64 pixels backlit display. A practical sequencer with 60,000 events capacity contains an internal library of almost 300 studies and famous pieces of music written for the piano, integrated by the revolutionary ‘Intelligent Music Search’ (IMS) function. A powerful 3-way 6-speaker 70W + 70W stereo amplification system faithfully reproduces the complex sound diffusion of an acoustic piano, from the full tones of ‘fortissimo’ to the infinite subtleties of ‘pianissimo’. The cabinet offers an elegant design, with finishes to complement any style of interior decor.
