Poetry Magnifique

Refined elegance in woodgrain

The beautifully elegant woodgrain finish, named “Poetic Brown”, evokes the gentle warmth and refined aura of Chopin himself. With its calm, sophisticated presence, this finish harmonizes effortlessly with a wide range of interior styles, blending seamlessly into any living space. Subtle details, such as the red felt accents at the base of the keys and pedals, complete the design with a touch of luxury.

Poetry Magnifique continues the much-praised tradition of a lid that closes into a perfectly flat surface. When not in use, the piano takes on the refined appearance of a single, smooth panel, blending effortlessly into living rooms, salons, and any interior with a stylish presence. The flat top also adds practical versatility—ideal for placing sheet music, jotting down notes, or simply enhancing the elegance of your space.

New piano structure that brings out rich resonance

To fully capture the beauty of its two iconic piano voices and a wealth of expressive sounds, Poetry Magnifique has been meticulously refined—from its power supply to its materials and assembly design.

EvoTone: A new chapter in sound evolution

Great sound is about more than high-quality samples. It depends on every part of the signal path, including how power is delivered. EvoTone is Korg’s dedicated internal power system, developed specifically for digital pianos. Unlike the standard AC adapters used by many brands, EvoTone provides clean, consistent power that reduces noise, minimizes distortion under dynamic load, and allows the full tonal range of the instrument to shine through. EvoTone improves attack response, enhances dynamic expression, and preserves even the subtlest musical details with exceptional clarity, especially in gentle passages and more nuanced performances.

Precision speaker design for a true piano experience

The Poetry Magnifique features a meticulously tuned speaker system that faithfully reproduces the depth and brilliance of an acoustic piano. The result is sparkling highs, warm lows, and a balanced midrange delivered with clarity and presence. Every detail, from materials and mounting structure to enclosure design, has been refined for maximum musicality.

Cabinet that supports the sound

The new cabinet is more than just a visual statement. It plays a key role in shaping the instrument’s sound. Its rigid and tightly sealed construction helps control speaker resonance and improves definition across the frequency range. To ensure direct, clear projection, the speakers are positioned at the front of the unit, preventing muffling even when placed against a wall. With a built-in power supply, the E1 Air eliminates the need for an external adapter, keeping your setup clean and unobtrusive - ideal for smaller spaces.

The Stereo Sound Optimizer creates a sense of natural acoustic presence when playing with headphones. It enhances spatial depth and realism, ensuring a more immersive and comfortable listening experience, even during longer sessions.

Poetry Magnifique includes a full three-pedal system - damper, soft, and sostenuto - just like a traditional piano. Both the damper and soft pedals support half-pedaling, enabling greater nuance and control over your expression. The pedal positioning has also been carefully refined to provide a more natural and comfortable playing experience.

USB MIDI/AUDIO

Using a standard USB cable*, the E1 Air connects to your smartphone, tablet, or computer for expanded creative possibilities. Use it as a MIDI controller to trigger external sound modules, record your performance as MIDI data, or play audio from your device directly through the E1 Air’s built-in speakers.

*A USB cable (sold separately) is required to connect to a PC, smartphone, or tablet. For iPhone or iPad, a Lightning-USB camera adapter (sold separately) may be needed, depending on the device.
