1/10/08 - Galileo Introduces "Virtual Piano" VP 110
High-performance entry-level digital piano designed for students
Galileo Music introduces the VP-110 digital piano. The VP-110 uses the companies’ latest piano technologies and manufacturing techniques. The VP-110 “virtual piano” starts with Galileo’s exclusive “iMotion” piano technology – a morphing technique that combines such acoustic anomalies as “string resonance”, “key leverage” and “damper dynamics” – and then it adds an all-new software technology that creates various ‘virtual’ piano types – including ‘concert grand’, ‘baby grand’ and ‘vertical’. The virtual-piano technology uses a spectrum analyzer to change the quality of the sound as it is being produced – creating ‘bigger’ or ‘smaller’ pianos according to the user settings. Another unique innovation – a “Vocal Guide” – can also be found in the VP-110. This speaking interface uses a pleasant-sounding voice to explain various settings and features – and helps make the VP-110 easier to use (especially for blind or visually-impaired people). The feature can be enabled or disabled by the user.
With the student in mind, the Galileo VP-110 features an Italian-designed cabinet with sliding key cover – available in a simulated dark rosewood finish. Other features of the VP-110 include: a ‘Grand Response’ full-hammer action keyboard; built-in metronome; 2 headphone jacks for private practice; MIDI In/Out/Thru; and stereo audio inputs & outputs. All of these features are presented in a control panel designed specifically for piano students.
