This digital piano has 80-note max polyphony. For its price, the SV1’s polyphony is astoundingly low. At this price point, there are digital pianos with polyphony ranging from 256-note to unlimited polyphony, so the SV1 definitely loses points here. This digital piano’s keyboard is graded, but Korg takes it to the next level by including key-off simulation and damper resonance. Additionally, the Korg D1’s 120-note polyphony is capable of seeing players through the beginner and intermediate stages of their piano-playing journey and can support the use of the digital piano’s chorus, brilliance, and reverb effects. This means you won’t need to connect your own amplifiers or headphones. Once you turn on the ES-110, you’re ready to go. The music rest that's indispensable for stage performance is included standard, and can easily be attached to the D1. Also included is a compact-sized damper pedal for convenient portability.

Korg D1 vs Roland FP-30The piano voices within this digital piano were developed with Roland’s SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine. As such, the Roland FP-30’s piano voices are rich and realistic. In total, the FP-30 contains 35 onboard sounds: 6 pianos, 7 electric pianos, and 22 other sounds, like organs and strings. For those who are a bit more financially restricted, however, the Korg B1SP is likely the best bet. The B1SP is labeled as an entry-level piano by Korg, so it is perfect for those who simply need a digital piano on which to practice their newfound skills.

The electric piano sounds reproduce not only the tonal differences in response to your playing touch but also the key-off noise. Six variations are built in, covering sounds often used in the popular music of the '60s and '70s as well as tones that are treasured in soul music.
