Welcome to HAVIAN 30! |9
01 Introduction
Welcome to HAVIAN 30!
Many thanks, and congratulation on purchasing the KORG HAVIAN 30 Digital
Ensemble Piano. We’re sure it’ll give you countless hours of great piano and
band instrument tones that will feel as good as they sound!
The real piano experience
So much of the HAVIAN 30 digital ensemble piano has been designed to give
you a great piano experience. The high-quality, weighted piano-like keybed
gives you a completely authentic feel and touch. The grand piano, recorded
in multiple dynamic levels, sounds absolutely natural. You will feel you are
playing a real piano – no matter what your musical tastes are.
More than just grand piano
To broaden your choice of piano sounds beyond the meticulously crafted
grand piano, HAVIAN 30 features an intimate upright piano, an evocative
honky-tonk, and an extensive selection of electric pianos. A realistic harp-
sichord is also included, and can be tuned by choosing one of the carefully
crafted period tunings. From ragtime to R’n’B, from classic rock to modern
jazz, from early keyboard music to the latest piano hits, you’ll find what is
needed to play centuries of great music.
Listen the natural way
All HAVIAN 30 sounds go through studio-quality effect processors that fur-
ther refine your sound before coming through high-quality stereo audio
outputs and integrated speakers for an amazing listening experience. The
sound is clear and detailed even at the lowest volume level, for the pleasure
of the late-night rehearsing musician.
