Illuminated key learning system
The 61 illuminated keys of the LK-270 act as your guide to a wide range of songs and support the principal of "Learning by playing". Just like traditional piano lessons, the practice piece is divided into individual bar sections and learnt step-by-step:
» Step 1: LISTEN - The player listens to the relevant bar section repeatedly to get a feeling for the piece.
» Step 2: SEE - The player follows the illuminated keys and sees the correct finger movements on the large LC display. The song playback waits until the correct note is played.
» Step 3: REMEMBER - The player plays the bar section from memory. After a while, the illuminated key function is activated if the correct note is not hit.
When the "Auto" mode is switched on, a set practice goal must be reached before the next bar section is displayed. With the "Next" mode you can set your own learning speed.
