Development history
Today's "electric piano" is a branch of the keyboard family, strictly called "Digital Piano", Taiwan People in the region called "Digital Piano". The "digital piano" is called "electric piano" in the 21st century. Its vocalization principle is that the integrated circuit operates the physical condition such as button strength, pedal, button speed, calls the corresponding sampling signal, and play back after a certain operation. All musical instruments that use digital sampling techniques and simulate piano tones are such. The principle of the general electric piano sensing button is: the piano button is placed under two inductive contacts, and the speed of the hit is determined by calculating the time difference of the induction point and the lower induction point. Some high-end keyboards, there are three inductive contacts that make the strength induced more accurate.
Early electronic piano is a more specialized ground, only a few piano or piano tone, can be tuned, in addition to this, cost full flowers in the keyboard hand. The keyboard of the electric piano has experienced three periods.
(1) Take the spring weight. With a simple spring structure, the keyboard is generated, and the sense of strength is very hard, and the acoustic piano is obvious.
(2) Weight keyboard. Use complex damping devices to make electric piano keyboards that are not too sorry, and there are some delays when they rebound, and the hand is quite close to the acoustic piano. According to different people's preferences, the preferences of keyboards are divided into semi-weight and all-weighted. On this basis, in order to simulate the difference in hitting strength between the strings of the acoustic piano bass area than the strings of the top, the top-level counterpart keyboard is developed, and there is a small difference between different sounds, such a keyboard. It is already very close to the acoustic piano.
(3) sprint keyboard. In order to simulate the intensity of the piano hamma hit the string, the R & D person added a fuser mechanism on the keyboard. When the keyboard is pressed, there will be an simulated hammer and a string to complete the fistature process. This process is silent. of. The electric piano in the 21st century generally adopts the full-assisted hammer keyboard to better simulate the physical feeling of acoustic piano, so that the players can smoothly transition between acoustic piano and electric piano. Of course, some products in order to adapt to hand-to-feel or special uses are more uncommonized, such as the 49-key and half-loaded portable electric piano, 88-key heavier light electric piano, etc.
With people's preferences for music, some electric piano is installed on a complete set of tones, rhythm and accompaniment control. According to the sound, rhythm, function, etc., the electric piano can be divided into pure electric piano and multi-functional electric piano.
Main types
1, false "digital piano", toy piano, actually the toy keyboard used on the computer, the price is hundreds of dollars.
2, miscellaneous digital piano, the appearance of the piano, the hand feels similar to the toy keyboard, the sound is similar to the sound of the cheap keyboard, the price is hundreds of yuan to 3,000 yuan. This category is a little, but you will immediately identify one key to play a key.
3, genuine high-grade digital piano, with the appearance of the piano, realistic feel, high quality tone, price is 6000-20000 yuan. This kind of piano is basically a brand of Japan. This kind of piano is very good, it is worth buying.
and piano difference
price
price is one of most parents most concerned, because this involves parents' investment risks, we know a lot After purchasing the price of the price, the piano did not stick to the piano. The piano became an expensive furnishings at home. This is also a parent after the child has been studying for a long time, the parents It is still not able to make up the most important reason for the piano to buy the piano.
Since the 21st century, it has been called a true electric piano between 3,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan. Of course, there is also more expensive, but as a family used, we only discuss this price range. . Most of the price of ordinary piano is more than 10,000 yuan.
Function
The king of the piano is called the instrument. Among the treasures of world music, the works of the piano can be said to be the most abundant, and the piano to complete these works is of course no problem. The electric piano on the 21st century is also 88 standard piano keyboards, and these piano tracks can also be played. In addition, there is a function of the external electric piano and the function of the keyboard and even the synthesizer, there are many tone and rhythm to choose, which can also be easily transferred, especially for the piano performance is not very high, it is very convenient, It also greatly enhances its entertainment. The electric piano can also wear headphones to practice the piano. For beginners, in the middle of the night, I want to express my emotional music enthusiasts. Professionals who are inspired suddenly, I don't have to worry about disturbing others, and the electric piano has MIDI interface, which can be very convenient Connect with the computer, which also spreads more than the function of the electric piano. Because the electric piano is an electronic product, it has a lot of features, which will not be described here. In general, a good electric piano can not only meet the performance of piano, but in a sense, it can replace a band, which is the reason why the electric piano is widely used by many music workers, and these function piano is not It is impossible to have.
Voice
The sound of an excellent electric piano is mostly close to the perfect real steel. Because the sound of electric steel is taken from the recording studio, it is a means of modern technology, which is obtained from the performance-class famous piano, and the more than 10,000 piano purchased in the market. It is only a piano that is entry level, and if you can't get good lighter and maintenance, the tone is hard to guarantee.
Easy
The weight of the ordinary piano is generally around more than 200 kilograms. It is extremely inconvenient to move. We used to see some of the performances of some schools. People are not easy to drag and carry. Move the piano to the show, people who know how to listen to it when they don't have it. Why? Because the piano is inevitably blocked in the process of moving, the tension of the strings changes, and the sound has been "yellow". To know a lot of tones of the piano, you will be "yellow" as long as a string is running. This is why the piano must be 1-2 times a year, even if there is no move, it is not necessary to say mobile.
The weight of the electric piano is usually only about dozens of pounds, which is very convenient to move, and will not worry about the situation of running, because the electric piano does not need to be ridiculous.
Performance
The live performance of the piano performance is the most influence of the audio equipment. If the quality of the microphone responsible for collecting the piano volume is generally or not professional, we hear at the scene. The piano tone is very difficult, and the electric piano can be easily connected to the sound equipment such as the mixer of the performance on the spot, and its original tone is as maintained as much as possible. .
Hand feels
Whether electric piano can achieve the feel of the piano, this is a problem for the most controversial. This biggest debate is caused by the difference in voices. The piano is through the internal mechanical drive to convey the action and strength of the player's finger to the "hidden" of the piano, so that the "hoes" will produce the piano, and the mechanical transmission of the electric piano is No, it can only be said to simulate the feel of the real piano, but this feeling is the most important feeling of the piano performance, which determines the performance of the piano to the piano and perform music through this control.
Due to production costs, technical resources, market strategies, there are many different pianons on the market. Some electric piano can only say that it is a widened electronic piano. Although this electric piano is also 88 standard piano keyboards, there is also a healthy choice. We use this type of electric piano as a keyboard. It is also very good, and the price is very good, after all It is 88 standard piano keyboards, which is almost all the keyboards. But if you use this electric piano as a piano, it is obvious that it will not make the people of the piano to develop a lot of bad habits. It is also very difficult to correct. Because such electric piano is very unambiguous in the play of the finger in the play, in other words, "Touch" it and "play" it doesn't have much difference, this shortcoming presence makes electric piano have caused a lot. People's prejudice, including some music teachers who don't know much about new technologies, new products, think that all electric piano is like this, and the piano is not allowed, not to mention replace the piano.

Buying skills
Keyboard hand sense
Electric steel keyboard is generally light than true steel keyboard, this is no way. However, some electric steels have no weight or weight, so absolutely cannot be bought. To buy, buy a good weight. The electric steel on this price is generally not simulated to simulate the string structure, so it is impossible to have a solid steel response curve, as long as the weight can meet the requirements.
Resolution
Obviously, the higher the resolution, the more delicate the response, the more helpful, the performance of the performance is meticulous. This can only feel it when playing in actual play, seeing advertising is useless. Some inferior quality, it is simply the response of the keyboard, the lightest and the most accent is very small, and it is actually charged steel.
Voice
There can be much more attention. Some piano makes it a hundred or even more than 200 tones, but what kind of sound is it? ! Listen to its piano tone (big piano, PIANO1, PIANO2, etc.), it is simply the soft wave table of the keyboard or sound card! Did you blame the piano? ! So don't pursue the number of tones, don't forget, you are buying a digital piano, not buy a keyboard. Those pins that only 6, 8 kinds, more dozen tones are often more expensive than 100 tones! Because it is a real piano tone, from the piano sound, PCM encoding it takes to the big triangular piano. In fact, inferior sound source is actually the sound of the electronic piano, electronic synthesis.
Function
Remember, a penny. The same price, I am sure to choose less. Some fancy features, when you bought it, you can find it when you buy it. The merchant is not a fool, it is impossible to sell you more and more cheap products. So you don't cover your longevity, touch your luck, must firmly believe: buy less features.
price
As we all know, the profit of musical instruments is relatively high, and the merchants like products that have been produced in the distance, the price is opaque, so that you have no price. In general, a piano of a retail price of 4,000 yuan, the transaction price is about 3,000 yuan, the ex-factory price is about 2,000 yuan.
