Pro-level Digital Piano for Rehearsal and Live Performances

Whether you’re a fledgling performer or a seasoned veteran, the Alesis Prestige Artist 88-key Digital Piano is a fantastic tool for both the practice room and the concert stage. Beginners and anyone looking to brush up on their playing chops are sure to benefit from the Prestige Artist’s powerful learning features, with a Lesson Mode giving teachers and students simultaneous access to the keys and a Recording Mode for tracking and listening back to the nuances of your playing. After you’ve honed your skills, the Prestige Artist’s 30 voices and 256-voice polyphony make great companions on the concert stage, made even better by Layer and Split Modes to combine and separate voices, respectively. A phenomenal arpeggiator adds hefty flavor to your own arrangements with all of your settings clearly on display via the OLED screen. Sweetwater keyboardists love that the Prestige Artist also comes with a sustain pedal and a handy music rest, two required accessories for pianists of all skill levels.

Powerful tools to take you from beginner to master pianist

The Prestige Artist boasts plenty of onboard features to take your playing from “Chopsticks” to Chopin in the blink of an eye. With Lesson Mode engaged, the Prestige Artist splits all 88 of its keys into two identical zones, making it easy for students and teachers to watch each other and play together without needing to take turns at the helm. Once you’ve mastered your lessons and pieces, Record Mode comes into play, recording your performance and playing it back through the Prestige Artist’s onboard speakers with crystal-clear detail. Perhaps best of all is the Prestige Artist’s metronome, an invaluable tool when learning the ropes of your instrument and nailing critical aspects like rhythm and timing.

Everything needed for stellar live performances

Once you’re ready to hit the stage, the Prestige Artist has you covered with everything needed to dazzle and delight audiences. There are 30 unique voices that cover a wide array of keyboard instruments for many different play styles, with Layer Mode to combine any two voices in unison and Split Mode to play them separately. There’s even a high-quality reverb onboard the Prestige Artist, with five different types to find the perfect amount of wash for your playing. And thanks to its 256-voice polyphony, you’ll never run out of notes for even the most technically demanding of piano pieces.

Reviews

One of best digital piano
I bought Alesis 88keys graded hammer .i love the feel of the key and love beautiful sound. A good keyboard for me I got a great deal for the price at sweet water and great music store . Sweet water always have what in want .
Couldn't be happier!
We are starting our with piano, but this one is so easy to use! The kids love recording themselves and the piano teacher loves that it feels and sounds the same as a grand piano!

On a different note, the customer service has been top notch!!! What a breath of fresh air knowing any questions or concerns will be answered quickly! We will be purchasing from Sweetwater again!
High-end quality at a low price!
Music is just a hobby for me, but when I pursue any venture I like to make the investment for only ONE time. I did quite a bit of research prior to making this great purchase. There are plenty of keyboards between the $ dollar range, but for my level of playing I just wanted something that would not leave me feeling that I should have spent just a bit more.

For literally $, I went with the Alesis Prestige ARTIST keyboard. It had 12 more voices and double the polyphony capabilities that the basic Alesis Prestige. I may not understand what effect the higher polyphonic number means, but the keyboard sounds AWESOME! The sustain pedal that is included is a very nice addition.

The keys feel exactly like the console piano that we have in our living room. The advantage of having this digital keyboard is important in two areas. First, it is light-weight and portable. Secondly, it is not susceptible to temperature and moisture content in the area where it is stored. The regular piano requires a constant environment, but this digital gem needs only to have a good quality dust cover.

For anyone starting out, or even just wanting an excellent sounding instrument for gigs, this is a bargain.
Awesome Keyboard - Just what I needed
I'm very pleased with this keyboard. It has the features I needed, 88 great-feeling and responsive keys, excellent sounds, speakers, USB connectivity to my laptop. It was simple to set up, doesn't take up much room on my desktop and I like the stand that has the capacity to hold my piano books. I am very happy with this purchase.
Overall good keyboard

I bought this unit as an upgrade to an unweighted keyboard (thanks Connor for making the exchange easy) It was well worth the extra $. The weighted keys have a good feel. The controls are easy to use and there are 30 voices. It has a "lesson" mode where the keyboard is split into two areas with the same pitch which is great for student/teacher. Also layered so you can play two voicings at once, and you can do a split to have one voicing for bass notes and a second for treble. The outputs feature stereo 1/4 instrument outs which is really good for putting into amp or PA (you can also send a mono out). One of the best features is the headphone outs- both a 1/4 and 1/8 are included. This unit is exactly what I was looking for as a practice piano and for learning. Some cons: there are no bass/mid/treble controls. The sampled voices are OK, but not really good enough for taking to gigs in my opinion - but if you are not looking for Nord like perfection it is passable. Some pros: the speaker array is good and looks cool. In fact the unit as a whole looks great. It has a good sheet music tray. It has reverb. Many parameters can be set, such as volume levels of layered voices. At this price point it is a good overall buy. I did not give it 5 stars because of the lack of EQ controls and the sampling of the voices I think could be a bit better.
