Wide Variety of Sounds

A first-class selection of sounds has been “captured live” at the highest fidelity for the E-80. Enjoy a guitarist’s fingers sliding on the strings of an electric guitar, the natural breath of a flutist, a gorgeous 88-key split stereo-sampled piano and newly sampled drum kits (Rock, Pop and Folk) with natural resonance.

Breathtaking Musical Content

The E-80 features 350 Styles created by a professional team of international programmers who captured their local musical preferences. All of these Styles sound incredibly “live,” and are expertly mixed and mastered. Individual EQ for each tone and drum instrument is provided, plus three dedicated multi-effects for each Style/Song.

Attractive Cosmetic Design

The outstanding new cosmetic design of the E-80 music workstation comes from a top Italian design studio. Truly, the E-80 is a treat for the eyes and the ears.

Powerful Onboard Speaker System

Thanks to its powerful 4-speaker, bi-amped sound system, complete with a Bass Reflex System and a Digital Bass Enhancers, the E-80 delivers incredible, high-impact sound.
