Features

88 Semi-Weighted Keys

Realistic Touch Response: The Donner DEP-10 features 88 full-size semi-weighted keys, which closely mimic the feel of an acoustic piano. Semi-weighted keys provide a balance between the lighter touch of non-weighted keys and the resistance of fully-weighted keys, making them ideal for both beginners and intermediate players. The responsive touch allows for expressive playing across different genres and styles.
Sensitive Control: Semi-weighted keys reduce the amount of force needed to play, offering a more sensitive touch response. This makes the DEP-10 versatile for various playing styles, from delicate classical pieces to dynamic pop or jazz performances.
Maximized Comfort: The design of the keys maximizes playing comfort, allowing for extended practice sessions without fatigue, making it easier for players to improve their technique.

Multiple Voices

Diverse Instrument Sounds: The DEP-10 includes 8 built-in instrument voices such as Acoustic Piano, Electric Grand Piano, Church Organ, and more. This variety allows you to experiment with different sounds, whether you’re playing solo or accompanying other instruments.
Dual Tone Function: With the dual-tone setting, you can layer two instrument voices simultaneously. For example, you can combine the warmth of strings with the clarity of a piano, adding richness and complexity to your performance.

128-Note Polyphony

Complex Passages: The DEP-10 supports 128-note polyphony, meaning it can play up to 128 notes at once without dropping any. This is particularly beneficial for complex musical passages or when using the sustain pedal, ensuring that every note is heard clearly.
Natural Sound: This high level of polyphony ensures that the sound remains natural and full, even when playing intricate pieces with overlapping notes.

Superior Sound Quality

Built-in Speakers: The DEP-10 is equipped with two 25W built-in speakers that deliver rich, stereo sound. These speakers are powerful enough to fill a room with sound, making the piano suitable for both practice and small performances.
Professional Metal Pedals: The piano comes with a sturdy wooden furniture stand and a professional metal 3-pedal unit (Soft, Sustain, Sostenuto). These pedals offer a robust and reliable performance, ensuring that your playing experience is as close to an acoustic piano as possible.

Digital Effects

Customizable Sound: The piano includes digital effects such as reverb, chorus, and EQ, which allow you to customize your sound. Whether you want to add depth to your performance or create a specific atmosphere, these effects give you the flexibility to shape your sound.
Recording and Metronome: The DEP-10 also features a built-in metronome with four different beat settings and a recording function. This allows you to practice rhythm, record your sessions, and review your progress over time.

Portable Design

Lightweight and Compact: Weighing only 18.5 pounds, the DEP-10 is lightweight and easy to transport. Its compact design makes it suitable for small spaces, and the sleek, modern appearance blends well with any home decor.
Modern Sleek Design: The streamlined body and textured keys not only provide an extraordinary playing experience but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your practice space.

USB MIDI Connectivity

Music Production and Learning: The DEP-10 can be connected to computers and other devices via USB MIDI, making it ideal for music production or learning software. This connectivity allows you to interact with various music apps, compose and edit music, or take online music courses.
MP3 Player and Aux In/Out: The piano also features an MP3 player and audio input/output, allowing you to play along with your favorite tracks or connect to external audio systems.

Headphone Jack

Private Practice: The piano includes a headphone jack, enabling you to practice privately without disturbing others. This feature is particularly useful for late-night practice sessions or when you need to focus without external noise.

Rich Functionality

Double Keyboard Mode: The dual-tone setting allows the piano keyboard to play two sounds at the same time, enhancing creativity during practice or composition.
Versatile Instrument: The piano supports various playing and learning modes, including transposition, 30 demo songs, and a metronome, catering to a wide range of musical needs.

Professional Design and Build

Durable Construction: The piano’s wooden stand and professional metal pedals ensure durability and long-lasting use. The keys are designed to withstand heavy usage, maintaining their quality over time.
Furniture Compatibility: The DEP-10’s modern design ensures that it fits well within any contemporary home setup, providing both functionality and style.
