The Korg B2N spearheads a new generation of Korg digital pianos. Very approachable and easy to use‚ the B2N features Korg’s acclaimed Natural Touch keyboard with lighter-touch keys that are effortless to play, even for children. The responsive, full-sized, 88-key NT keyboard with adjustable touch control fosters proper playing technique — vitally important for beginners. And the sound is what we at Music Experience expect from Korg: gorgeous, lush, and inspiring. Korg’s new sound engine delivers 12 stunning sounds, including legendary grand pianos from around the world, electric pianos, and organs. The B2N offers ample connectivity and comes with a generous software bundle to spark your creativity.
Korg equipped the B2N with its newly developed NT (Natural Touch) keyboard, so it reproduces the touch of an acoustic piano with heavier action in the low register and a lighter feel in the upper register. Perfect for children who are just beginning their musical journey, the NT keybed provides a positive sense of striking the keys while causing less player fatigue over long periods than fully-weighted hammer actions.
The B2N delivers a total of twelve sounds that cover a diverse array of genres, including five opulent pianos from Korg’s new, state-of-the-art piano engine, as well as rich and distinct electric piano, organ, harpsichord, and string sounds. The world-class German grand — coveted by concert pianists for its massive, expressive power — offers stunning vibrancy and dynamic range, soaring highs, and thundering, articulate lows. Korg includes the majestic German Concert Piano as well as the Classic Piano with a delicate, complex timbre. There are three impeccable Italian pianos onboard the B2N, represented by the lively Italian Concert Piano, the bright Jazz Piano, and the gorgeously resonant Ballad Piano.
Immediately recognizable from decades of iconic records, the B2N’s electric piano responds to your playing dynamics and even simulates key-off sounds. You’ll find the organ sounds to be perfect for rock and jazz; and as a bonus, the B2 offers the sublime sound of a real, sampled pipe organ.
The B2N connectivity works with a variety of music software and hardware, opening up new possibilities for enjoying your digital piano and creating awesome music. Connect your smartphone, tablet, or computer to the B2N’s USB-to-Host port and use the B2N as a MIDI controller to play software instruments or external sound modules. Your performance on the B2N can also be recorded as data on your smartphone using an optional Lightning-USB camera adapter (sold separately), and sound from your smartphone can be heard through the B2N’s onboard speakers. The B2N’s audio-in jack also lets you play along to your favorite music and hear everything through the B2N’s speakers. Even when you’re not playing, you can use the B2N as a home speaker system for enjoying music.
The B2N comes with software that will take your music to the next level, including a three-month, premium-plan trial membership in Skoove — which offers over 10 courses and more than 300 songs to help you improve your keyboard chops — the Korg Module Le sound module app, and the Korg Gadget 2 Le music production app.
Other B2N features include an onboard metronome, adjustable touch control (light, normal, heavy), and onboard reverb and chorus that place you onstage in the concert hall! A detachable music rest is included and generously sized to accommodate sheet music and a tablet at the same time.
