Description
The Liverpool from Korg brings the magic of Lennon and McCartney's songwriting to a keyboard arranger format. With one-hundred of their most well-known songs, and built-in amplifiers and speakers, the instrument allows anyone to enjoy listening, playing along, or rearranging these classic treasures.
All that is required to start, is to play a set of chords with the left hand, and the keyboard automatically provides an accompaniment that matches the feel of the original song. Then add the right hand to play the melody and the songs come to life. Alternatively, one can use other chords and melodies and use the accompaniments as inspirations for creating custom musical works.
Other functions allow for practicing at a slower tempo without changing the pitch or transposing to taste, muting the bass for minus-one playing, or muting the guitar to play along on a real guitar, or enjoying many of other possible combinations available. The built-in interactive backing generator provides an additional sixty-four "Liverpool Styles."
