LK-270

Overview

Discover the magic of music

Children and young people need someone to point them in the right direction – then they enjoy embarking on new adventures and setting out on their own path. The LK-270 shows them the magic of music with 61 dynamic touch illuminated keys. The unrivalled range of functions – from the new step-up learning system and SD card slot for playing new practice tracks, right through to the high-quality AHL sound features – the keyboard with illuminated keys offers users maximum support while learning to play. Additional learning material: sequencer recordings (6 tracks/5 songs), sampling function (10 seconds), song expansion (10 x SMF/ 320 KB), digital effects (10 reverb, 5 chorus, auto harmonizer, arpeggiator), rhythm editor and much more.

Illuminated key learning system

Step-Up-Lernsystem 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.

570 AHL tones

570 AHL tonesThe high-quality 570 AHL tones create clear and dynamic sounds, which unfold in all sounds and rhythms found in classical piano pieces, as well as many other genres.

48-note polyphony

48-note polyphonySound diversity at its best: the LK-270 can play up to 48 voices at the same time, turning interpretation of a wide range of musical pieces into a pure pleasure.

180 rythmes

152 rhythms (+10 user)

152 rhythms (+10 user)152 pre-set rhythms offer a varied range spanning throughout the world of music. 10 can be added optionally by you.

Sampling function

Sampling function A feature with fun factor: the simple sampling of sounds via an external sound source such as MP3 and CD players (via Audio-in) or microphone (via Mic-in) offers interesting effects and amusing compositions. Whether a bar of your favourite musical piece, loops or drum sounds, human voices or noises of any kind – the recorded samples (up to 10 seconds) can be played via the keyboard and effects added as desired.

Arpeggiator

Arpeggiator With the arpeggiator, a chord played on the keyboard is divided into a sequence of individual notes repeated in succession. Perfect for all dance or electro styles!

Music Preset

Music Preset The "Music Preset Library" contains 305 "one touch settings“ based on popular rock and pop songs. The useful pre-settings for rhythm, tone, tempo, effects etc. makes time-consuming searches for the right settings a thing of the past. This assistant makes playing the "top 300" child's play!

Rhythm editor

Rhythm editorPop rhythm with a touch of jazz, jazz rhythm with a shot of pop: with the rhythm editor, elements from different rhythms can be combined and edited. 10 user slots are available for individual style editing.

Music Challenge

Music ChallengeThis practice is fun and exercises your mind too: Music Challenge is a play function where the player has to hit the illuminated keys as fast as possible. On keyboards without illuminated keys, musicians can play via the large LC display: The aim of the game is to hit the correct keys as quickly as possible.

Scale tuning

Scale tuning The scale tuning functions open up a whole new world of oriental quarter tones and the tempering of baroque or classical music.

SD card slot

SD card slotThe innovative SD memory medium offers a simple means of expanding the internal song memory of the LK-270 to limitless levels.

USB Plug & Play/Song expansion

USB Plug & Play/Song expansionThe USB/MIDI­(GM) connection enables further Midfile songs to be loaded into the internal memory via the "Song expansion". No software installation from a CD-ROM required thanks to Plug & Play and the USB driver is compatible with both Mac and Windows (from Mac OSX 10.03 and Windows XP/Vista).

Audio input

Audio input Play or sing along – a solution for the future: connect a CD or MP3 player to the Audio input of your LK-270. Your favourite tunes are played via the loudspeakers of the keyboard in "half playback" – you can play along for the keyboard part. A good alternative to MIDI playback, particularly if you don't want to edit the song.

Microphone input (Mic-in)

Microphone input (Mic-in)Simply plug in and get singing: The LK-270 has a practical microphone input facility that allows users to sing along to a selection of songs or make recordings using the sampling function. The microphone is included with the keyboard.

Headphone connection
