ARTESIA APE-88 Oriental Stage Piano

Oriental Stage Piano

88 lightweight keys with velocity sensitivity, 12 buttons for quarter tone scale, sustain, music stand

An absolute novelty on the keyboard market: an "Oriental Stage Piano" with 64 polyphony and 88 light-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys. The APE-88 offers 136 sounds, an automatic accompaniment with 100 styles - including many typical oriental ones - and as a very special feature the possibility of setting your own quarter tone scale with 12 separate mini buttons.

With a width of 1.27 m and a weight of just under 9 kg, the APE-88 is ideally suited for mobile use, especially since it can also be operated with batteries if required. Very practical: the built-in 4x 10 W sound system is loud enough to play small gigs with it. In addition, you can connect a microphone directly to the APE-88 and output it via its loudspeaker; there is an adjustable microphone input on the back

The APE has a built-in 2-track MIDI recorder for recording your own performances. The integrated USB audio interface allows the APE-88 to also be used as a master keyboard and to connect it to iOS devices, laptops or tablet PCs, thereby using additional musical options.
