8| Introduction

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 hon-

ky-tonk, and an extensive selection of electric pianos. A realistic harpsichord

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.

10| Introduction

As good in tour or at home

Havian 30 is a compact, lightweight digital piano that you can comfort-

ably take with you on stage. But add the optional modern, stylish dedicated

stand, with support for the damper pedal (included) and a pair of (optional)

headphones, and you will be able to have it anywhere in your home – a stylish

piece of furniture.

Use it for rehearsing or practicing guided by the built in programmable met-

ronome. Or let the included bank of dedicated Piano Styles play along with

you, to make a study session feel like an onstage experience.

Easy to use, like a real piano

Using your Havian 30 is easy, thanks to the touch screen and the clean,

clearly laid-out user interface. This easy-to-use, handy technology, driving

every aspect of the instrument, will make advanced features seem as easy

as touching real objects in the real world.

If you are not comfortable with the touch display, then the innovative tactile

display navigation system will let anybody’s ﬁngers, even if blind or visually

impaired, quickly ﬁnd a reference to the display content.

A band always ready to play with you

Ultra-realistic sounds in the Havian 30 are always ready to play along with

you, in the music style best ﬁtting your music. The high number of included

Styles will satisfy any music genre, but can also be expanded by adding new

Styles. You may also create your Styles, or customize the existing ones.

There are eight Accompaniment parts which will follow your chords. You can

play in the simplest way or with the rich harmonization of a competent jazz

player. We have programmed them to sound natural, and give you the feeling

of a real band, ready to play with you at any time.

Play and write songs

Play Songs in MID and MP3 formats. With Songs, you can show lyrics for your

singer and chords for your fellow guitarist. Any MIDI Song track can be con-

verted into a readable score. Markers allow for jumping back to a passage

you wish to repeat, for example in a piece you are studying or rehearsing.

You can record a MIDI Song using a full-featured Sequencer, or by using the

Styles to record your live performance. Even easier, just record what you

play as an MP3 ﬁle, and listen to it anywhere you like – even while driving to

a party with friends!

Welcome to Havian 30! |11

Your music book

What is a huge collection of Styles and Songs, without an effective form

of organization? The Havian 30 has the one most known to musicians: the

SongBook, a music database allowing for fast song retrieving based on

name, artist, genre or tempo. Styles and Songs are easily recalled by the

SongBook.

The SongBook can even be edited from a personal computer through our

free editor. It can also be synchronized with most modern tablets to become

your handy external digital music sheet reader (third-party software need-

ed).

Open to the world, ready to the future

The USB ports allow for connecting the Havian 30 to any external storage

device or personal computer, smartphone or tablet without the need for a

dedicated MIDI interface. The use of standard MID or MP3 ﬁle formats opens

a world of possibilities when exchanging ﬁles.

Enjoy your musical life with the new Havian 30!
