Deep interaction with the instrument

The audio quality of the Dexibell VIVO S9 is unquestionably stunning, but perhaps even more impressive is the interaction the pianist feels with the instrument. Every minute nuance of playing technique is channeled from your fingers through the newly developed TP-400W hybrid wooden-key, ivory/ebony-feel weighted-hammer action to the VIVO's sound engine. Dexibell's state-of-the-art CORTEX-Quadcore T2L technology then goes to work layering precise, articulate resonances to capture every subtlety of your interaction with the keys. It's all borne out by the sound you hear — creative feedback that inspires the next notes you play. After all: you play better when you sound great!

Masterful control and connectivity

The Dexibell VIVO S9 is a masterful stage piano, but when you're deploying an army of plug-ins and synth hardware, your keyboard controller is your command center. And the Dexibell VIVO S9 puts the controls right where you need them. The ample, grippy pitch-bend and modulation wheels are even ergonomically angled for instant, intuitive access. You're always status-savvy, thanks to the S9's enhanced user interface. Change patches, and the motorized faders automatically snap to their new positions, giving you an instant snapshot of your settings. The VIVO S9 also features 4 MIDI zones, seven rotary encoders, four pedal inputs, and MIDI In, Out, and Thru ports, as well as USB-to-Host and USB-to-Device.

320 oscillators, unlimited polyphony

The beating heart of the VIVO S9 is a powerful quad-core CPU capable of processing 320 digital oscillators. This massive oscillator arsenal provides for virtually unlimited polyphony and allows for the simulation of all elements of the tone, including the cabinet resonances and mechanical sounds such as damper and key-off that are characteristic of acoustic grand pianos, as well as the telltale noises of vintage tonewheel organs. Dexibell uses higher definition, 24-bit/48kHz (32-bit floating DSP and internal processing) as a sound wave format with 256 times more resolution than 16-bit audio, significantly improving both the VIVO S9's frequency response and dynamic range.

High-resolution T2L sound engine

In the T2L sound engine that drives the Dexibell VIVO S9, the recorded waveform length of each individual note is between three and 15 times longer than the typical digital piano. For example, a low note on the VIVO S9 has an original waveform length of 15 seconds, whereas most current models average between one and 5 seconds. This means that the tails of your piano notes are allowed to decay naturally without the unnatural looping that shorter samples require. The result? Thrillingly vibrant and realistic harmonics throughout the evolution of each sustained note.

Dexibell: from Italy, with passion

After 25 years of successful innovation with leading brands worldwide, the Dexibell team came together to establish, in their words, "a dynamic and motivated workshop with an Italian business ethos." Their driving force is passion. A passion for music. And design. From high fashion to high-performance automobiles to high-end cuisine, Italy leads the world. And there is an undeniable passion about Italian design. Springing from this creative and cultural milieu, Dexibell digital organs and pianos seamlessly blend tradition and modern technology to create products such as the VIVO, in which the sweet sound of Chopin’s favorite 1850s piano is voiced by the company's cutting-edge CORTEX-Quadcore T2L sound engine. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Italy, Dexibell instruments sound and look incredible onstage and in the studio and are precision-built to give you many years of high performance.
