The GEM GRP-800 digital grand piano

GEM's team of sound design engineers produced a new, large high quality PCM database of stunning realistic instrument recordings. Included is the astonishing Fazioli® F308 concert grand piano. The real-time physical modeling system, made possible by DRAKE technology, also reproduces classic electro-mechanical instruments like Rhodes™, Wurlitzer™ & Clavinet™ with astonishing reality. 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 DSP effect section generates various reverbs and high quality effects, adding dimensional spatiality and warmth to the instrument's overall sound.

The GRP800 is equipped with a weighted keyboard incorporating an advanced graded hammer action - a feel normally associated with high-end grand pianos. The realistic touch and high level of expressive control makes this instrument ideal for virtually any style of piano performance.

The GRP-800 has these added benefits:

• The digital metronome makes learning easier
• A recorder (2 track, 20,000 event) allows you to record and re-listen to performances.
• An internal music library containing 50 of the world's most famous piano pieces
• A music scorebook containing all the pieces of the library.
