The instrument features a single curated mix signal, designed to provide a broadcast-ready sound. It includes four round robins and six dynamic layers, ensuring a responsive and expressive performance. The piano's close capture retains key and mechanical details, enhancing the intimate timbre.

This setup supports collaborative workflows, allowing composers to switch between editions while maintaining the integrity of their compositions.
