This is a much more intuitive way of using these features and will also give you quicker and more control over your piano sounds. Kawai also has a proprietary app for iPad where you can connect your iPad to the DG30 and access all these very cool Virtual Technician features from your color touch screen. So you have a choice of playing the Kawai factory piano presets which are very good or customizing those sounds to your individual musical tastes. Once you make these adjustments you can save your settings into memory to instantly recall it later.
But there are some really cool proprietary features this piano has that I like a lot which include being able to edit and customize the acoustic piano sounds in a myriad of ways (Kawai calls this feature "Virtual Technician") such changing the touch curve, individual note voicing and changing the tonal characteristics of the piano sounds, more or less damper resonance & damper noise, string resonance, pedal sustain-decay time, individual note volume, stretch tuning range and other organic elements of the piano sound. I've already talked about the huge instrument sound library this piano has along with the capability of playing General MIDI song files. General MIDI format plays back all the parts using the original instruments being played correctly including preset relative volume settings, EFX, and other parameters. General MIDI song files are not like the regular MIDI song files which can normally only play back single instruments like piano. There are a number of ways to use General MIDI song files including for educational learning purposes.
You can even transpose the key so that if you sing along it can be in a key that is better for your vocal range. Then you can play live piano along with that song, slow the song down so you can play along at a slower speed while learning it, or even mute out one of the instrument tracks so that you can be the lead player instead of letting that recording do all the work.

The advantage to these special GM song files is that they can sound exactly like the song itself with original instruments such as the movie theme from Star Wars, a Christmas song, a popular jazz tune, a famous classical orchestral piece, a Beatles song, or whatever it is you can think of. On the lowest priced Roland, Yamaha, and Samick digital baby grands, the amount of finger force required is over 60 grams and upward to 80 grams which is still good and enjoyable to play, but would require a firmer touch.
In fact the measurable touch-weight on middle C requires approx 58 grams of finger force to press down the key, which is very close to a real grand piano in terms of down-weight so that is a very good thing. In fact, of all the major digital piano brands who make digital grand pianos, the DG30 definitely has the lightest touch overall but is certainly not too light. The RH3 action moves quickly and does not require a heavy touch so that your hands and fingers will not get fatigued when playing for long periods of time. The DG30 is using the most popular and best plastic key action that Kawai produces called the RH3 ivory-feel key action with counter-weight technology and let-off/escapement. Typically when piano companies come out with a new model like this one and it is in a small baby grand cabinet, the functions are features usually are not new and come from technology they are already using in their other models, and this is the case for the new DG30.
