Casio Privia PX-100

The Casio PX-100 is a full sized, 88 key digital keyboard that is portable and contains a variety of different types of sounds. It has standard 1/4 inch connections for outputting your signal and for using a sustain pedal, as well as MIDI connections.

UTILIZATION

The feel of the Casio PX-100 is very good, as the instrument is extremely easy to play. Navigating through this instrument also couldn't be any easier because everything is laid out so that it is easy to see and understand. The instrument contains a series of buttons to choose between different sound patches and to add effects. Even if you have no experience whatsoever with digital keyboards, the Casio PX-100 will be easy to understand and use. The manual for the Casio PX-100 is pretty well put together and designed for the layman to understand, but I honestly don't think that it is necessary considering how easy the Casio PX-100 is to use.

SOUNDS

The sound quality of the Casio PX-100 is surprisingly pretty good. I wasn't expecting much, but the piano and organ sounds are somewhat realistic, and while I personally wouldn't do any recording with this keyboard, it is definitely suitable for live shows and is perfect for home use and practicing. I usually use the Casio PX-100 for its piano sounds, but the other sounds on it are pretty good as well, adding to the versatility of this instrument. Nothing will blow you away on this keyboard if you are a professional, but for amateurs and intermediate players, the Casio PX-100 is perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Casio PX-100 digital keyboard for about a year or so and I've found it to be the perfect practice instrument for those looking to get a good sounding keyboard that is relatively cheap. This is one of the better sounding models that Casio makes and while it isn't the best sounding keyboard in the world, it certainly gets the job done. The Casio PX-100 is a great choice for those players who want a nice sounding digital keyboard without spending too much money.

UTILIZATION

So it's been two months since I made the piano neamoins I try a lot of models before I decide for the one.

It is obviously that the touch is not the same as that of a real piano, it is heavy, but I would say more "progressive" was less the feeling of "guts" caused by a hammer on acoustic model, that finally I found it very enjoyable! I think it's very personal, but I personally prefer the largment to the Yamaha in the same price range.
The use of various option be quite complicated because of the lack of screen: Impossible to find a tempo that we currently must use the keyboard to changed some option (and remember related notes: - /), short, in addition to the function to change the sound and to split the keyboard, the other certainly necesita a small turn in the book, but full in English.

SOUNDS

Good, I think it is weak ....

The piano sound is very nice, with a bit of reverb it becomes quite large and quite realistic. The speakers deserve the right and follow to the lowest notes. In short, for a beginner I think it's ideal ...

It was then three sounds that I find interesting: E-piano, which aims to simulate a digital piano, I think it sounds quite "Norah Jones", I really like. Then there is the classical strings, and finally a very nice sound of vibraphone, which I think might be interesting.

For cons, the other 5 are not really sound great! Specially the one organ which simulates an :-| borders on the ridiculous (one of my old synth yamah PSR290 was better!), There is another electric sound, another sound of the piano and harpsichord ...

In short, I dispoce three cool sound that can fill a lot of style, the others I ca verais with the computer

OVERALL OPINION

Well, it is only a few days I have but I am currently very satisfied, it is another world compared to my old synth!

The keyboard has a great look, not exes heavy and very compact. The walk is not cons by the top (it should be 30 minutes to disassemble, so it's rather something "Deffinitions"), it is more not super nice ... I plan to try to "Build me an in, I'll tell you what happens!

I am completely satisfied with my purchase, it meets all my needs: a keyboard with a touch heavy and a piano sound correct, but also a master keyboard 88 keys, all for a resonable price more than (700 France, 500 in Germany). The only thing that worries me is the hard time given the reputation of the brand, so I took great care, go to 10 years to know

Voila Voila!

Full keyboard, quite a few sounds but it's enough. Allows you to register and add songs the library. Essential functions are l.
In addition it is compact.

UTILIZATION

Touch is enjoyable, though not a sr piano .... but this price! It can work!
The manual is clear.

SOUNDS

I love the two tone piano. To work these two sounds are enjoyable trs.
Other sounds are average, and the organ sound absolutely zero.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one week, I find and TRS trsrussi enjoyable for a beginners (or so) like me who takes over the piano. The ratio quality price is my opinion outstanding.
I would do the same choice without hsiter.

- How many octaves?
7 1 / 2 (88 keys)
- How many sounds effects available? Are ditables?
8 + drums section
There is also a section with 2 squenceur tracks.

2 non ditables effects (chorus and reverb)
- What connection (Audio, MIDI pedals ...)?...
Taken two phones for audio outputs
2 pedals
MIDI IN and OUT
(1 canvas least for the shortage of double-output jack)

UTILIZATION

Coming from a keyboard without keys agile, I am pleased of it.
Test with roland and yamaha of + / - 1000, touching it suited me more, even if others are excellent!
- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
For basic usage, yes, but the use of squenceur is also intuitive that is expected. (1 * less)
- The select MIDI channels, patches is easy?
not applicable
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I rarely read the manuals ...

SOUNDS

The grand piano is excellent, the EPiano are nice and the possibility to combine two sounds is useful (EPiano + strings, the two together ... Epianos)
Immense regret: no sound on all Stereo sound.
Sound practitioner. Effects effective.
VLOC and expression trs good.
A canvas least for the lack of Stereo sound on some.
