      Korg SP500 Launched Spring 2002

       
       
      Korg instruments
      are praised by professional musicians around the world for their superior sound. The Korg SP500 Digital Piano continues that tradition with it rich sampled pianos -- including a stunning stereo grand piano. And with a generous 64 notes of polyphony, the SP500 ensures that notes will not be interrupted, even when you perform with full use of the damper pedal.
      Sounds
      The SP500 is loaded with 396 sound programs, all taken from Korgs professional synthesizers. In addition to 19 different piano sounds, the SP500 boasts a selection of electric piano, organ, flute/sax, brass, strings, guitar, drum and synthesizer sounds. There are also eight special Melody Voice programs featuring natural-sounding vibrato that realistically captures each instrument's expressivity. Any two sounds can be layered together or split between the SP500's high and low ranges.  
       
      Accompaniment styles
      The SP-500's professionally-produced accompaniment styles make it easy for you to create great sounding ensemble performances. Its Pianist Rhythm Styles provide accompaniments featuring piano-type left-hand passages that enable even novice players to sound like accomplished pianists. A wide range of Rhythm Styles covering rock, pop, jazz and more enable the SP500 to deliver the full-sounding performance of a complete pro backup band. The Korg SP500 comes loaded with 128 Rhythm Styles, 26 Pianist Rhythm Styles and room for 64 User Styles you can create and save to memory.
       
      Touch view graphical user interface LCD
      The Korg SP500 Digital Piano boasts Korgs advanced TouchView Graphical User Interface, a feature found on the company's flagship music workstations. The touch-panel LCD lets you select or modify sounds and accompaniment styles by simply touching words or images displayed on the screen. Operation is easy, and the functions are literally at your fingertips. The SP500 also provides a Help function to ensure that even first-time users can quickly master its operation.

      Established in 1983 A&C Hamilton Musical Instruments maintains a healthy balance of traditional business values with a keen sense for new business ideas. Getting new customers and keeping existing customers are equally important to us. As the internet has changed all our lives we continue to grow from strength to strength applying the tried and trusted methods of traditional retail sales to this new world of internet sales and store sales. The world is a smaller place but we are all still individuals within it. It is so much more fun selling to some one you can have a chat with, either email phone or in the shop than just sending boxes via couriers. Our company has a solid financial basis to trade and all premises are owned in full by the directors.

      Our Music Shop is on the outskirts of Preston with forecourt parking for 8 cars. Our closest town is Blackpool and nearby is Lytham St Annes. Blackburn and Southport are close by. Lancaster, Morecambe, Wigan, Burnley, Ormskirk, Bolton, Leigh, Accrington are also near me. Manchester Liverpool and Cumbria are around an hour away.
