Williams Pianos has announced the Overture 2 and Rhapsody 2, two digital pianos.
Williams, a leader in versatile, cost-conscious digital pianos, has just introduced two next-generation, 88-key console digital pianos. The Rhapsody 2 and Overture 2 feature exquisite finishes, a new weighted hammer action with incredibly realistic response and feel, high-definition sounds from Williams’ all-new custom sound library, and an impressive feature set.
Both instruments offer 64-voice polyphony, so you can create deep, layered orchestrations without running out of voices. Split and Layer functions enable you to combine sounds as desired, and a Modulation/FX control provides realistic rotary and vibrato effects on select instruments. Both Rhapsody 2 and Overture 2 can be used as a MIDI controller and connect to a computer via USB for recording to any standard MIDI software.
