The exclusive use of Generalmusic's DRAKE technology in the new RP800 Real Piano, enables all musicians, from beginners to professional pianists, to realize their total musical potential. Professional pianos powered by DRAKE have been acclaimed by leading musicians around the world, as the most realistic sounding electronic pianos ever created.

DRAKE technology and Sounds
Generalmusic's team of sound design engineers have drawn from their years of expertise to produce 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? and Clavinet? with astonishing reality.

Physical Models
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.

Powerful effects
The internal DSP effect section generates various reverbs and high quality effects adding dimensional spatiality and warmth to the instrument's overall sound.

Keyboard feel and performance
The RP800 is equipped with a weighed keyboard incorporating an Enhanced Real Hammer Action, a feel normally associated with a grand piano. The realistic touch and high level of expressive control makes this instrument ideal for virtually any style of piano performance.

Education qualities
The importance of music education and the documented benefits associated with such, encouraged our design team to incorporate functions to enhance the learning process and enjoyment. The digital metronome makes learning easier, offering a precise reference guide. The recorder (2 tracks, 20,000 events) allows you to record and re-listen to your performances. An internal music library containing some of the world's most famous piano pieces, all performed and recorded meticulously, provides tremendous educational benefits. The music library allows you to study a piece of music, playing each part separately, at a speed you're comfortable with. Packaged with the piano is a music scorebook containing all the pieces of the library.
