The Korg E1 Air is a beautifully styled digital piano that brings expressive sound and refined aesthetics into perfect harmony. With its clean matte black finish, flat-top lid, and compact form, it fits naturally into any room without dominating the space. Whether placed in a living area, bedroom, or studio, it enhances its surroundings while oPering the responsiveness and sound quality of a carefully crafted musical instrument.

Built in Japan and designed for both modern homes and serious musicians, the E1 Air ePortlessly blends form and function.

At the heart of the E1 Air are two expressive concert grand piano voices, each sampled from renowned Italian instruments. One oPers a bright, balanced tone that suits a wide variety of musical styles, from classical and jazz to pop and everyday practice. The other is a newly sampled full concert grand, rich in natural ambience and capable of deep emotional expression. Whether you're performing delicate pieces or preparing for a stage recital, it responds beautifully across the entire dynamic range.

The E1 Air features Korg's Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (Rstrong) keyboard, oPering a playing experience that mirrors the feel of a grand piano. The key weight is graded, with a heavier touch in the bass and a lighter feel in the treble, just like an acoustic instrument. Sensitive to fast passages and dynamic playing, Rstrong provides exceptional control and nuance. Furthermore, five selectable touch curves let you tailor the response to your own playing style.

The E1 Air delivers an authentic acoustic piano experience through a combination of expressive features and refined design. Damper resonance recreates the sympathetic string vibrations that occur when the damper pedal is pressed, adding a natural sense of depth and realism to your sound. Key-oP simulation further enhances the playing experience by reproducing the soft mechanical noise of key release, lending every performance a more tactile, lifelike feel.

A full three-pedal system is included, with damper, soft, and sostenuto functions. Both the damper and soft pedals support half-pedaling, allowing for nuanced dynamic control and expressive phrasing. The positioning and spacing of the pedals have been carefully considered to ensure a comfortable, natural feel underfoot, supporting confident playing across a wide range of musical styles.

E1 Air includes 30 high-quality instrument sounds such as electric pianos, organs, clavinet, vibraphone, strings, and acoustic guitar. Every sound is expressive and performance-ready, with studio-grade ePects including brilliance, reverb, and chorus. These ePects are automatically matched to each preset, so you can simply choose a sound and play.

The E1 Air also comes bundled with powerful apps to support creativity and music production. Korg Module and Korg Gadget 2 Le for iOS provide access to high-quality sounds and a mobile music production environment.

A powerful front-facing speaker system projects sound clearly and directly, maintaining clarity even when the piano is positioned close to a wall. The internal cabinet structure is tightly sealed and acoustically optimised, helping control unwanted resonance and improving clarity across the frequency range.

With 40 watts per side and a carefully tuned response, the E1 Air delivers a natural and immersive piano experience.

Stream audio wirelessly from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth and play along with your favourite songs or backing tracks. The E1 Air also supports USB MIDI and audio, allowing you to record into your computer, use it as a MIDI controller, or play sound from your device directly through the internal speakers. All you need is a standard USB cable, and for iOS devices, a Lightning to USB adapter if required.

When using headphones, the Stereo Sound Optimizer creates a more realistic and spatial listening experience. This helps retain the natural feel of playing an acoustic instrument, even during extended practice sessions. The E1 Air features two headphone outputs, allowing two people to listen and play at the same time. This is ideal for lessons, shared practice, or quiet duet playing. This helps retain the natural feel of playing an acoustic instrument, even during extended practice sessions.

The E1 Air includes a two-track recorder that lets you capture performances on the spot. You can record each hand separately, adjust playback tempo, and store up to 99 songs for review or composition. There are 40 built-in piano songs with tempo adjustment, separate left and right-hand playback, and A-B loop functionality to help you focus on challenging passages. Split Mode assigns diPerent sounds to each hand, Layer Mode lets you combine two sounds for a fuller tone, and Partner Mode divides the keyboard into two equal zones with their own damper pedals, making it ideal for lessons or duets. The E1 Air also includes a built-in metronome, oPering flexible timing support with control over tempo, time signature, accents, sound, and volume.

To support your learning journey further, the E1 Air includes a three-month premium plan for Skoove. This intuitive online platform oPers over 300 songs and more than 10 structured courses, blending ear training with practical technique to help you build musical skills quickly and ePectively.

You'll also receive a TuneCore voucher for 50 percent oP your next single or album release, giving you a platform to share your music on more than 150 global streaming services!

At just 35 cm deep, the E1 Air is compact enough for smaller spaces while still oPering a full-sized keyboard and powerful sound system. The lid opens and closes gently from a controlled angle, adding safety for homes with young children.

A built-in power supply removes the need for a bulky external adapter, helping keep your setup clean and minimal. What's more, the E1 Air features EvoTone, a dedicated internal power system developed specifically for Korg digital pianos. EvoTone ensures clean, consistent power delivery that reduces noise and distortion. It improves dynamic response, enhances tonal clarity, and preserves subtle performance detail - especially in expressive or quieter passages.
