PS
1300 Digital Ensemble
The PS Series
instruments incorporate the most advanced sound generation
technology available with automatic features to facilitate
instant creativity, encased in attractive classical cabinets,
guaranteed to enhance any surroundings. The new PS1000 is the
latest PS Series digital piano from GEM.
The PS1300 offers over
400 ROM sounds -including a new Grand Piano sound developed
for the famous Realpiano Series, with ‘ Damper Physical
Model’’ technology- capable of satisfying any musical
need. 16-part multitimbral, with 32 note polyphony, the PS1000
is compatible with the most popular formats: GM, GMX, SMF 0, 1
and 1+lyrics. The ergonomic user interface lets you easily
navigate within the various parameters; all the functions are
clearly displayed on the colored and backlit display. The
sophisticated arranger section of the PS1300 contains 96
styles with 4 variations
each, made up of 5 tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc. 1/2/3). The PS1300
is an easy-to-use instrument, thanks to a clear panel
layout consisting of direct access buttons and controls.
The practical internal sequencer lets you, quickly and easily,
record your compositions; the PS1300 also allows songs, styles
and presets to be saved on the built-in disk drive. You can
also display the lyrics of songs synchronized with the music
in ‘karaoke’ style, using the built-in Video Interface. The
versatile internal 30W + 30W, 2-Way, 4-speaker stereo
amplification system faithfully reproduces the high quality
sounds and styles of the PS1300.
