Main features

Thirty-two Premium Instrument Sounds

Built into the Korg G1/G1 Air Digital Piano are 32 unique instrument sounds—including a total of three distinct European and Japanese concert grand pianos. The G1/G1 Air also allows two sounds be played at once from the keyboard. Layer Mode: Each key will play two sounds simultaneously. Split Mode: One of three Bass sounds can be assigned to play on the lower half of the keyboard, independent of the upper sound. Partner Mode: The keyboard can be divided into two playing areas, making it ideal for lessons with student and teacher side-by-side.

Built-in Demo Songs and Etudes

The G1/G1 Air includes a total of 50 pre-recorded performances; the 10 Sound Demo Songs make full use of the onboard sounds, while the 40 Piano Song etudes allow the player to develop their skills by playing along with the entire performance, or with either the rightor left-hand part muted.

Accurate Pedal Features

The G1/G1 Air provides the same three pedal functions found on a grand piano—Damper (sustain); Sostenuto; and Soft (una corda). Both the damper and soft pedals respond to half-pedaling, varying the depth of the effect by how far down the pedal is pressed. Pressing down on the damper pedal also adds realistic damper resonance to the number 1 and 2 sounds of the G.PIANO, A.PIANO and J.PIANO button.

Digital Metronome

Perfect for rhythm training, the built-in metronome offers a user- variable tempo, volume, and time signature. Choose a traditional pendulum sound or modern-day digital tone.

Onboard Effects

The G1/G1 Air offers three built-in digital effects—each offering three levels—to enhance the quality of the internal sounds. These effects can emphasize the brightness and clarity of the tone (Bril- liance); simulate the natural ambience of a concert hall (Reverb); and add depth and motion to the sound (Chorus).

Adjustable Keyboard Touch

Youcanchoosefromfivedifferentsettingstoadjusthowthesound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.

Temperament Selection

In order to create an authentic performance in a wide range of music genres, the G1/G1 Air can be set to one of nine temperaments, including equal temperament, pure temperaments (major and minor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister), as well as temperaments used with Middle Eastern and Indian folk music. When an acoustic piano sound is selected, the stretched tuning used with traditional pianos is automatically selected.

Play in any Key

The Transpose feature can quickly transpose the G1/G1 Air to play in any musical key—without changing the player’s fingering. The Master Tuning parameter can make fine adjustments in the overall

pitch of the instrument.

Onboard Recorder

Integrated into the G1/G1 Air is a powerful two-part recorder. Create, record, and playback a library of multi-part performances that can be recalled at any time.

Dual Headphone Jacks

With two identical headphone jacks, the G1/G1 Air allows two people—parent & child, student & teacher, or friends—to listen and enjoy the sound of the G1/G1 Air simultaneously.

The Right Connections

Your new G1/G1 Air is equipped with a stereo Line Out jack, USB port, plus MIDI IN and MIDI OUT jacks, allowing the G1/G1 Air to connect to an external sound system or recording setup, a computer, or other MIDI enabled devices.

Bluetooth speaker (G1 Air only)

If a device compatible with Bluetooth audio is connected via Bluetooth, the G1 Air can be used as a wireless speaker.

Using pedals

The G1/G1 Air includes all three of the pedals found on a concert grand piano. Using the pedals can add expression, control, and sophistication to any performance.

Soft pedal (left)

Soft pedal

Damper pedal

Sostenuto pedal

The Soft pedal slightly reduces the volume and softens the tone. Accurate half-pedaling allows you to control the depth of the effect by how far down the pedal is pressed.

(“half-pedaling”).

Sostenuto pedal (center)

This pedal provides a similar effect as the Damper ped- al—allowing notes to continue to sound after the key is released—but the effect only applies to the notes already being held down when the Sostenuto pedal is pressed. New notes played after the Sostenuto pedal has been pressed will not sustain.

Damper pedal (right)

As mentioned above, the Damper pedal allows notes to continue to sound after the key has been released, adding a rich, resonant decay. You can also add the damper resonance to the number 1 and 2 sounds of the G.PIANO, A.PIANO and J.PIANO button. Accurate half-pedaling al- lows you to control the depth of the effect by how far down the pedal is pressed. (“half-pedaling”).

In Layer Mode (see page 10), you can select which sound(s) will respond to the pedal.

In Split Mode (see page 10), the pedal only affects the sounds in the higher section of the keyboard.

In Partner Mode (see page 11), the Damper effect can be applied independently by both players.

The metronome

The Metronome provides a steady, rhythmic pulse that acts as a convenient practice aid for all levels of musicians.

Setting the Tempo and Time Signature

Use the METRONOME button to start and stop the Metro- nome. When the Metronome is running, the METRONOME button will be lit, and the tempo will appear in the display; when the metronome is off, the button is dark (unlit).

With the Metronome on, set the tempo using the TEMPO

+ and – buttons. The current tempo will be shown in the display. The tempo range is q =5–240, or 5 to 240 Beats per minute (BPM). Press the TEMPO + and – buttons simultane- ously to return to the default tempo of q =120.

You can also specify the time signature, providing an ac- cented tone on the first beat of the measure. With the Met- ronome running, use the SELECT and buttons to se- lect a time signature from 2/4 to 6/4 (shown in the display as 2–4, 6–4, etc.). Press the SELECT and buttons simulta- neously to recall the default 4/4 time signature.

Additional Metronome Parameters

The Function Mode provides access to additional Metronome parameters, including the volume and sound (page 12).

Other Song Functions

Specifying the mute volume for parts as well as copying and deleting User Songs can be performed from the Function Mode (starting with the “Song: Delete selected part or entire song” function on page 13).

Performance Modes

Playing two sounds at the same time (Layer Mode)

You can play two sounds at the same time on the keyboard. This is called the Layer Mode.

While holding down the button of a sound to be layered, press another sound button. The two selected sound but- tons light up.

The sounds are labeled layer 1 and layer 2 in the order that their buttons are pressed.

For example, if the sound from the G.PIANO button is to be layer 1 and the sound from the OTHERS button is to be layer 2, hold down the G.PIANO button, and then press the OTHERS button.

Previously, each Sound Button should have been used in the Single Mode to select the correct sound.

For example, to layer the German Concert Piano and Clav sounds, first select “” for the G.PIANO button and “ ” for the OTHERS button. Then press both buttons simultaneously to enter the Layer Mode.

When selecting Layer Mode, the total number of voices

that can play at the same time is reduced, depending on the total number of oscillators used per voice by the selected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony” on page 16.)

Sounds accessed by the same Sound Button cannot be layered. For example, Classic Piano and Pop piano are both accessed via the G.PIANO button and thus cannot be layered.

Returning to the Single Mode

To return to Single Mode, press any single Sound Button.

Layer Mode settings

In Layer Mode, adjusting the volume balance between sounds, shifting the octave for each sound, as well as enabling/disabling the damper pedal for each sound can be performed from the Function Mode (starting with the “Layer Mode: Volume balance” function on page 13).

Using split sounds (Split Mode)

When the SPLIT button is pressed and lights up, you can play a bass sound in the lower section of the keyboard and another sound in the higher section of the keyboard. This is called the Split Mode.

In Split Mode, you can select any split point (key that splits the keyboard) for the high notes and low notes.

These settings will not be saved when the G1/G1 Air is turned off; however, the G1/G1 Air can be set to save these settings (refer to “Save parameter settings” on page 13).

When Split Mode is selected, the total number of notes that can be played simultaneously is reduced, depending on the total number of oscillators used by the selected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony” on page 16.)

1.Press the SPLIT button.

The SPLIT button lights up, and the abbreviation of the current bass sound name appears in the display for a few seconds.

2.Press the SPLIT button to access the available Bass Sounds.

The abbreviation for the bass sound name appears in the display for a few seconds.

The selected sound remains the same, even if a different sound button is pressed.

1,2

Abbreviation	Sound name	#
	Acoustic Bass + Any sound	1 +
	Electric Bass + Any sound	2 +
	Acoustic Bass & Cymbal + Any sound	2 +

The # column shows the number of oscillators, or voices, used to create a single note for that sound. (refer to “About maximum polyphony” on page 16.)

Using pedals

In Split Mode, the pedals affect only the right side of the keyboard. They have no effect on the left side of the key- board (bass notes).

Changing the Upper Keyboard Sound

In the Split Mode, changing the sound assigned to the upper part of the keyboard is the same as selecting a new sound in the Single Mode.

Changing the Split Point

To change the dividing point between the upper and lower portions of the keyboard in the Split Mode, simply hold down the SPLIT button and press any key on the keyboard. The split point appears in the display while the button is held down.

The sound range used by the higher section of the keyboard starts with the key to the right of the one that was pressed. The split point remains the same for all three sounds se- lected with the SPLIT button.

Range for higher section of keyboard

Returning to the Single Mode

To return to Single Mode, press the SPLIT button several times; the button will go dark.

Split Mode Settings

In Split Mode, adjusting the volume balance between sounds and shifting the octave for each sound, can be performed from the Function Mode (starting with the “Split Mode: Volume balance” function on page 13).

Performing with another person (Partner Mode)

Two people can play in the same range with the keyboard divided in half between them. This is called the Partner Mode.

1.While no song is being played back, press the FUNC- TION button.

The FUNCTION button will light.

2.Press the FAVORITE button.

“ ” will appear in the display.

3.Press the TEMPO + or – button (at the right side of the display); “ ” appears in the display.

Connecting a New Device (Pairing)

When a new device is connected, “pairing” (mutually registering connection information) must be performed.

The information for up to eight paired devices can be stored. When a ninth device is paired, the information for an existing device is deleted so that the new information can be stored.

Even if pairing failed, the information for that device may be stored on the G1 Air. If the information for eight devices has already been stored, the information for an existing device is deleted.

In order to reconnect to the device whose information was deleted, delete the G1 Air’s information from that device, and then perform pairing again.

1.When the G1 Air is turned on, it enters the pairing standby mode.

Pairing is enabled for only 1 minute after a song number appears in the display after the G1 Air was turned on.

2.Turn on the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected to, and then select “KORG G1Air” in the list of the settings screen that appeared.

When a message appears, requesting permission for pairing, allow pairing.

When a passkey is requested, enter “0000”.

The passkey may also be called a PIN code, password, etc.

3.If pairing is successful, the connected device enters a connection-ready mode and displays a connection with “KORG G1Air”.

Since the displays differ depending on the device, refer to the manual of your device.

Reconnecting to a paired device

•If the Bluetooth function for the device to be connect- ed to was turned off when the G1 Air was turned on

Turn on the Bluetooth function for the device to be connected to.

•If the Bluetooth function for the device to be connect- ed to was turned on when the G1 Air was turned on

Turn off the Bluetooth function for the device to be con- nected to, and then turn it on again, or select “KORG G1Air” in the list of paired devices.

If a connection cannot be established again, turn off the

Bluetooth function for the device, and then turn it on again. If a connection still cannot be established, cancel pairing or delete the information from the device, and then try performing the operation described above in “Connecting a New Device (Pairing)”.

Cutting the Connection

Perform the operation by using the Bluetooth settings screen on the connected device.

If the G1 Air is turned off while it is connected to a device, it may be difficult for the connection to be re- established the next time.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

If any of the following problems should occur, carefully examine the instrument to see if you can discern what the trouble may be, and try resolving it by following the suggestions below. If the instrument still does not function properly, please contact your dealer.

The instrument will not turn on

•Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the piano and the outlet.

•Make sure that the power cord is fully plugged into the AC adapter.

No sound

•Is the cord from the speaker box connected securely to the speaker connector on the G1/G1 Air?

•Be sure that the volume is set to an adequate level, and not set to the MIN value.

•Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on OFF (see page 13). If it is, set it to ON (or turn the in- strument off and then on again).

•Check to see that nothing is connected to the headphone jacks; any connection to either of these jacks will mute the internal speakers.

Notes are interrupted

The maximum polyphony may have been exceeded; see “About maximum polyphony.”

The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key regions

The G1/G1 Air’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that certain overtones seem stronger, affecting the pitch or tone. This is not a malfunction.

Your external MIDI device does not respond to MIDI data sent from the G1/G1 Air.

•Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected.

•Make sure that the G1/G1 Air is transmitting MIDI data on the same channel that the MIDI device is receiving on.

About maximum polyphony

If the number of notes being played simultaneously exceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost since the

G1/G1 Air is equippedwitha mechanism that stops thefirst note being played to give priority to notes played with keys pressed later. Some G1/G1 Air sounds, although they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more oscillators (one note of a sound-generating circuit). Sounds using just one oscillator, such as the Electric Grand and Clav sounds of the OTHERS button, have a maximum polyphony of 120 notes. Sounds using four oscillators, such as the sounds of the G.PIANO button, have a maximum polyphony of 30 notes.

120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony

Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully choose sounds when using Layer Mode to play two sounds simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.

16

System initialization

The G1/G1 Air can be returned to its factory default condition. All functions in the Function Mode will be returned to their factory default settings, and all recorded data will be deleted.

Deleted data or settings cannot be recovered. Before

continuing with this procedure, make sure that you want to delete the data and settings.

1.Turn off the G1/G1 Air.

2.While holding down the FUNCTION and METRO- NOME buttons, turn on the G1/G1 Air.

3.After “ ” will appear on the display for about 2 seconds, the normal power is turned on.

Assembling the Stand

Warning

●At least one other person must help you assem- ble the stand.

Caution during assembly

In order to assemble the stand safely, please observe the following points.

•Make sure that you have the correct part in the correct orientation, and perform the assembly in the order given.

Other cautions

Please check the following points after assembly.

•Loosened screws

The screws may loosen as time passes after assembly. You should periodically check whether any screws have become loose. If you feel that the stand vibrates excessively, it is possible that screws have come loose. If so, re-tighten them.

•When moving the digital piano to another location

To move the assembled stand, remove the AC adapter cord from the stand, close the key cover, and then move it slowly with at least two people keeping it as level as possible.

•Disassembly

If you need to disassemble the stand, do so by reversing the steps of the assembly procedure. After disassembly, keep the screws and other parts in a safe place so that they are not lost.

The G1/G1 Air should always be laid down before disassembled.

Assembly procedure

You’ll need a Phillips (+) screwdriver.

1.Put the protective sheet, which had covered the G1/G1 Air, on a flat floor, and place the G1/G1 Air on that sheet with its rear facing the floor.

After installation, lift the stand to check that the pedal unit

does not fall out.

The push rivet will prevent the pedal unit from falling out. Therefore, it cannot be fully fastened to the pedal board.

11.Firmly tighten the pedal board screws temporarily tight- ened in step 4.

When tightening the screws on the G1/G1 Air, adjust the up/down and front/rear positions on the left and right side panels so that they are equal.

12.Make sure to attach the anti-tipping brackets behind both side panels. And the anti-tipping bracket fastened to the left of the code holder at this time.

Attach the anti-tipping brackets, starting with the round hole at the bottom.

Joints between the side panels and the attached anti-tip- ping brackets should be even (with no level difference left).

13.Ensure that the stand has no gaps and is not tilted, and that all the screws are tightened firmly.

14.Connect the AC adapter (refer to “Connecting the Pow- er” on page 5), pedal cord and the speaker cord to the Connector Panel at the center of the underside of the key- board unit.

When connecting the pedal cord and the speaker cord, ob-

serve the correct orientations of the connectors.

The pedal cord or the speaker cord can be detached from the connector with its locking tab held down.

Caractéristiques principales

32 sons d’instruments de qualité supérieure

Le piano numérique G1/G1 Air de Korg comporte 32 sons (aussi ap- pelés “timbres”) d’instruments uniques, dont une sélection de 3 sons différents de pianos à queue de concert européens et japonais. Le cla- vier du G1/G1 Air permet en outre de jouer simultanément deux sons. Mode de superposition (Layer): Chaque touche déclenche simultanément deux sons. Mode de partage (Split): Vous pouvez assigner un des trois sons de basse à la moitié inférieure du clavier et jouer ce son indépendamment du son déclenché dans la partie supérieure du clavier. Mode partenaire (Partner): Ce mode divise le clavier en deux zones de jeu de tessiture (hauteur) identique, ce qui permet à un professeur et à son élève de travailler simultanément un même passage.

Morceaux de démonstration et études

Le G1/G1 Air propose un total de 50 morceaux préenregistrés, avec 10 morceaux de démonstration des sons de l’instrument et 40 études pour piano permettant de se perfectionner en accompagnant ces morceaux

(dans leur intégralité ou en coupant la partie de la main droite ou de la main gauche).

Pédales de grande précision

Le G1/G1 Air est doté des trois pédales équipant les pianos à queue: une pédale de résonance (forte), une pédale de soutien (sostenuto) et une pédale douce (soft). La pédale forte et la pédale douce offrent toutesdeuxlafonction‘mi-pédale’,quipermetdedoserl’effetdelapé- dale selon son degré d’enfoncement. L’action de la pédale forte ajoute en outre un effet de résonance réaliste aux sons des Nombres 1 et 2 disponibles via les boutons G.PIANO, A.PIANO et J.PIANO.

Métronome numérique

Le métronome intégré constitue l’outil parfait pour le travail ryth- mique et offre des réglages de tempo, de volume et de type de mesure.

Choisissez un son de métronome à balancier ou un son de métronome numérique moderne.

Effets intégrés

Le G1/G1 Air est doté de 3 effets numériques intégrés (offrant chacun 3 niveaux) soulignant la beauté de ses sonorités. Ces effets permettent de rehausser la clarté du son (brillance), de simuler l’environnement acoustique d’une salle de concert (réverbération) et de conférer am- pleur et richesse au son (chorus).

Fonction de réglage du toucher

La réponse dynamique du clavier est une des caractéristiques les plus importantes d’un piano, et le G1/G1 Air vous permet de choisir parmi cinq types différents de réponse dynamique.

Tempéraments

Afindegarantirunjeuauthentiquedansunvasteéventaildestylesmu- sicaux, le G1/G1 Air vous permet de choisir parmi neuf tempéraments, comprenant la gamme tempérée, les tempéraments purs (majeur et mineur), les tempéraments classiques (Kirnberger et Werckmeister) ainsi quedestempéramentsutilisésdanslamusiquetraditionnelled’Indeet du Moyen-Orient. Quand vous choisissez un son de piano acoustique, l’accord étendu utilisé sur les pianos est automatiquement sélectionné.

Jouer dans toute tonalité

La fonction Transpose vous permet de transposer (c.-à-d. décaler la hauteur) instantanément le clavier du G1/G1 Air pour jouer dans toute tonalité voulue, et cela sans changer le doigté. Le paramètre Master

Tuning permet d’effectuer un réglage fin de l’accord de votre instru- ment.

Enregistreur intégré

Le G1/G1 Air comporte un puissant enregistreur 2 pistes. Cette fonc- tion vous permet de composer, d’enregistrer et de lire une biblio- thèque de morceaux comprenant plusieurs parties et disponibles à tout moment.

Deux prises pour casque

Les deux prises pour casque (une sur la face avant et une sur la face ar- rière du G1/G1 Air) permettent à deux personnes l’écoute simultanée.

Connectique irréprochable

Dotéd’uneprisedesortielignestéréo,d’unportUSBetdeprisesd’en- trée et de sortie MIDI, votre nouveau G1/G1 Air peut être connecté

à une sono, un système d’enregistrement, un ordinateur ou d’autres appareils compatibles MIDI.

Utilisation de pédales	Pédale douce
	Pédale de
Le G1/G1 Air dispose de trois pédales: forte,	résonance
sostenuto (prolongement) et douce.
Ces pédales permettent de rendre votre jeu
plus expressif et plus réaliste.	Pédale de soutien

Pédale douce (‘soft’) [gauche]

Appuyez sur cette pédale pour adoucir le son. Vous pouvez contrôler le degré d’atténuation du son en enfonçant plus ou moins la pédale douce (effet “mi-pédale”).

Pédale de soutien (‘sostenuto’) [centre]

L’effet de soutien s’applique uniquement aux notes dont les touches sont déjà enfoncées au moment où vous appuyez sur la pédale; seules ces notes continuent de résonner tant que la pédale de soutien est enfoncée. L’effet de soutien ne s’applique pas aux notes que vous jouez après l’enfoncement de la pédale de soutien.

Pédale de résonance (‘damper’) [droit]

Appuyer sur cette pédale permet de soutenir le son et de produire une chute du son pleine de résonance.

Vous pouvez en outre appliquer l’effet résonance réaliste aux sons des Nombres 1 et 2 disponibles via les boutons G.PIANO, A.PIANO et J. PIANO. La fonction mi-pédale permet en outre d’appliquer un effet de résonance graduel dosé via la force d’enfoncement de la pédale.

En mode Layer (voyez page 30), vous sélectionnez le(s) timbre(s) auxquels la pédale est affectée.

En mode de partage (voyez page 30), l’effet de la pédale est uniquement appliqué aux sons de la partie supérieure du clavier.

En mode Partner (voyez page 31), l’effet de pédale forte

(Damper) peut être utilisé indépendamment par les deux personnes.

Le métronome

Le G1/G1 Air est doté d’un métronome qui vous permet d’acti- ver un son de clochette quand vous vous entraînez.

Régler le tempo et le type de mesure

Le bouton METRONOME permet de démarrer et d’arrêter le mé- tronome. Quand vous lancez le métronome, le bouton METRO-

NOME s’allume et le tempo s’affiche sur l’écran. Quand vous arrê- tez le métronome, le bouton s’éteint.

Les boutons TEMPO + et – permettent de régler le tempo du mé- tronome (il doit être activé pour cela). La valeur de tempo actuelle s’affiche sur l’écran. La plage de tempo est de q =5–240, soit 5 à 240 battements par minute (BPM). Appuyez simultanément sur les boutons TEMPO + et – pour retourner à la valeur de tempo par défaut (q =120).

Vous pouvez aussi définir le type de mesure (comportant un son d’accent sur son premier temps). Quand le métronome est activé, choisissez un type de mesure (de 2/4 à 6/4, représentés à l’écran par 2–4, 6–4, etc.) avec les boutons SELECT et . Appuyez simultanément sur les boutons SELECT et pour rappeler la mesure 4/4 par défaut.
