Clear and natural piano sound
The beautiful piano sound of the NC-300 is derived from stereo digital recordings taken directly from a concert grand piano. The sound is clear and well defined. From the initial strike of the key to the natural resonance as the sound decays, the piano sounds have been sampled lavishly and carefully to faithfully capture the depth and tone of the original instrument. The full dynamic range is preserved, from the delicate crispness of softly played notes, to the rich full character of sustained tones.

Dynamic piano sound
The NC-300 has been equipped with a robust sound system capable of reproducing a rich and vibrant sound, and uses two 10 cm speakers housed in a ported enclosure.

The feel of a grand piano
The NC-300 uses the top-of-the-line Real Weighted Hammer Action 2 (RH2) keyboard. Just as on a grand piano, the key resistance varies across the length of the keyboard, with heavier action in the low register and lighter action as you play toward the upper register. Key touch control lets you select how your playing touch will be translated into the dynamics of the sound. You can choose from light, normal, and heavy response to match your playing style, the character of the piece you are playing, or the nature of the selected sound.

Pedal unit included
All of the pedals of a grand piano”damper, soft, and sostenuto”are provided, a necessity for truly expressive piano performances. The three piano-style pedals are housed in an attractive unit that matches the piano's finish and style. Half-pedaling effects are also supported.

24 sounds, including 11 pianos
The 11 built-in piano sounds range from a beautifully spacious stereo-sampled concert grand to a variety of other pianos suitable for different genres or for ensemble playing. In addition, there are 13 sounds from other categories, including organ, harpsichord, vibraphone, strings, choir, giving you a total of 24 built-in sounds, all instantly available using the front panel switches. Layer mode lets you play two sounds together, as well as adjust the volume balance between them.

Built-in effects
Reverb and chorus can be added independently to each sound. Reverb adds the reverberation quality of a performance in a concert hall. The chorus effect adds a spaciousness and motion to the sound quality. Three variations of each effect are available per sound.

Forty built-in demo songs
Eight of the built-in demo songs are designed to showcase a variety of the sounds in the NC-300. There are an additional 32 classical pieces that spotlight the beautiful piano sounds. The scores for these 32 classical selections are also included.

Audio I/O jacks
The audio OUT jacks let you listen to the instrument's sound through an external amp and speakers.

MIDI connections
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) I/O allows you to access and play other MIDI equipped instruments from the NC-300's keyboard. Likewise, you can also control the piano from an external device that is also MIDI equipped.

Key transpose
The Key Transpose function lets instantly shift the pitch of the keyboard, allowing you to play a song in a new key without changing your fingering.

Metronome
There's also a metronome function that's convenient for lessons. In addition to providing just a click, you can also specify a time signature and add an accent note (standard or bell tone) to the first beat, as well as adjust the metronome volume. The tempo knob allows easy adjustment of the tempo.

Temperaments
In addition to equal temperament, you can choose from two types of historical temperament (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) for historically authentic performances.

Headphone jacks
Two sets of headphones can be connected simultaneously.
