Premium Sounds and Features

Designed to give you plenty of inspiration, the Recital Pro MKII features 25 realistic built-in sounds spanning acoustic and electric pianos, organs, harpsichord, mallet instruments, synths, and more.

Learn new techniques and experiment with layering two sounds in Layer Mode, or assign different sounds to each hand using Split Mode. For students, Lesson Mode divides the 88 keys into two identical zones-same pitch, same voice-making it easy for a teacher and student to play side-by-side without reaching over one another.

The instrument also includes 10 demo songs, adjustable reverb and transposition settings, and a built-in metronome to support structured practice.
