Dexibell Vivo S8

The Dexibell Vivo S8 is equipped with a Fatar TP-40 LR keybed featuring 88 hammer-action keys, yet it remains impressively lightweight at just 17.9 kilograms. For added flexibility, up to four pedals can be connected. At the core of its sound engine is a CORTEX quad-core processor capable of generating up to 320 oscillators, providing practically unlimited polyphony. The instrument includes 180 high-quality sounds, ranging from pianos in Dexibell's premium library to electric pianos, brass, strings, synths, and plucked instruments. The 32GB of onboard memory provides ample space for additional sounds in both SoundFont and Dexibell's proprietary DXS format. Organ players are well served with over 100 presets, covering classic Hammond, Farfisa, and Vox tones, along with a detailed pipe organ. Drawbars for upper, lower, and pedal sections are fully adjustable, along with settings for the rotary speaker and other parameters. The integrated audio player allows WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files to be played directly from the piano as backing tracks or accompaniment.

The Italian company Dexibell comprises a team of engineers and musicians who have been working together since the mid-1990s. Their mission is to faithfully reproduce the sound of rare acoustic instruments, such as Romantic-era grand pianos or historic church organs, through digital pianos and sound modules. With their proprietary T2L Technology, they achieve exceptional sound quality while offering extensive customisation through physical modelling. Impressively, their products employ up to 320 oscillators to deliver unlimited polyphony. Dexibell instruments are used by renowned musicians worldwide, including Brian Culbertson, Sheléa Frazier, and Loren Gold (The Who, Chicago).
