GHS weighted action is heavier in the low keys and lighter in the high keys, just like an acoustic piano.
The Pure CF Sound Engine faithfully reproduces the tone of a meticulously sampled, acclaimed Yamaha 9' CFIIIS concert grand piano, allowing for incredibly dynamic and expressive playing.
String Resonance recreates the sympathetic sounds of other strings resonating, just like the behavior of acoustic pianos.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- GHS weighted action keys replicate the feel of an acoustic piano, being heavier in lower registers and lighter in higher ones.
- The Pure CF Sound Engine precisely reproduces the acclaimed Yamaha 9' CFIIIS concert grand piano tone for dynamic playing.
- String Resonance technology recreates the sympathetic vibrations of other strings, mirroring an acoustic piano's behavior.
- Damper Resonance DSP accurately recreates the sound produced inside a grand piano when the dampers are lifted from the strings.
- Key-off samples deliver the delicate sound change that occurs the instant a damper returns to the string on an acoustic piano.
👎 Cons
- The GHS weighted action, while realistic, may not fully satisfy professional pianists accustomed to higher-end, more nuanced key actions.
- The Pure CF Sound Engine focuses on one specific grand piano, which may limit sonic versatility compared to pianos with multiple sampled instruments.
- String Resonance and Damper Resonance DSP are simulations, and might not perfectly replicate the complex physics of a real acoustic instrument.
- The "Key-off samples" feature, while detailed, may be a subtle effect that is not immediately noticeable to all players.
- This digital piano is limited to 88 keys, which is standard but may not be ideal for certain classical pieces requiring extended ranges.
