[. . . ] With 14 different instruments to choose from, the EG2180 and EG8180 will unleash your creative spirit!With a powerful, 80-Watt stereo amplifier and custom-designed loudspeaker system, these pianos can fill the room with rich, natural sound that belies their compact size.

This feature is extremely handy for student/teacher sessions. [. . . ] This allows you to practice parts individually, speeding up the learning process. EUROGRAND's transpose function allows you to change the key at the flick of a switch. Don't like playing in the key of D flat?Transpose the pitch up a half-step, and voila you can now play the song in the key of "C" and it will sound like it's in D flat. This feature really comes in handy if you're accompanying a vocalist who is more comfortable with a higher or lower key than the original version. You can raise or lower the pitch by half-steps, up to a full octave. The EUROGRAND is equipped with a stereo LINE IN connector for external sound sources, such as a CD/Tape/mp3 player or drum computer. This allows you to play along with pre-recorded music via the EUROGRAND's internal loudspeakers or through your own headphones. An onboard MIDI connection enables you to use an external sound generator for even more tonal capabilities. You simply run a MIDI cable from the EUROGRAND to your sound module and then connect the module's audio output to the LINE IN jacks on the piano. The resulting sounds can then be heard through the speakers or headphones. You can also use EUROGRAND's MIDI capability to record and manipulate tracks on your computer. There are many software sequencing programs on the market that allow you to build songs layer upon layer, creating performances that range from simple to extremely complex. Additional MIDI options allow you to produce and/or print sheet music or playback musical pieces. What's more, you can transfer the data from the built-in sequencer to your computer for permanent storage.
