The DRAKE (Dsp Risc Advanced Keyboard Engine) technology acclaimed for its astonishing performances in the Promega & Realpiano Series pianos is available in the RP-X module. Offering musicians the possibility of always having available a wide selection of the best electric and acoustic piano sounds including the famous Fazioli F308.
