Casio Privia PX-110

88 Keys
Ultra Light! (Worn under the arm or in the back with a single shoulder strap ... huge asset to the stage!)
Stereo Grand Piano sound, plus other sounds (violin, bass, rhodes, ability to combine the sounds of them, several sets of battery support)
Sustain pedal (mono, no polarity possible)
Effects: reverb, chorus
Transpose / Tuning
No monitor, fashion buttons / leds
2 built-in speakers (excellent powerful and exceptional record, does not even weigh down together!)
Ability to be mounted in cabinet or in scene mode (remove the wood, and caches up to the place, everything comes with)
Midi In / Midi Out
Two audio outputs (stereo mini jack 3.5mm ONLY .. there on the other hand, it's a little fishing ...!)
Heavy Piano touch (my fingers, the best heavy touch piano in the range less than € 500, compared with Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Kawai ...)

UTILIZATION

INTENSIVE use for 3 years, bought used (he was a year and was little used).
I lugged around a lot of scenes, outdoor, hot, cold, wet, simply cover protected by foam I have NEVER had any problems with it! Everything still works perfectly, and yet I am the piano rock'n'roll, so pick up the keyboard a lot, glissando, hard-hitting ...
An excellent piano, with a heavy touch good, but in the long run with too little sensitivity .. (Very hard to qualify his game, if you press a button, even extremely slowly come to a stop once a loud sound out .. then with a real acoustic piano there would have been no sound)
The grand piano, and in general everything that comes through the speakers of the keyboard is very good quality!
on the other hand, once plugged into a sound system for the stage, there is a very bad balance between bass and treble (very severe acute low, and few mediums too!) So to return with equalizer behind!
After 2 years, I wanted other sounds, so buying an expander and I have been using as a master keyboard.

SOUNDS

A grand piano excellent, rhodes nice, but lack of "distortion" beautiful violins and a bass larger than life.
Équilbre bad bass / treble when the spell on a piano sound (using the stereo output).

OVERALL OPINION

3 years of use, transport nuisance, concerts.
No problems, very good finish, extremely robust.
Ultra portable, musician's friend with a fragile back!
Comes in a wide clio 2!
A real heavy touch, despite the entry-level price.
Too few connections (lack a true sound output)
Keyboard sensitivity a little bit ...
After 3 years, I left for a master keyboard upscale, in order to more sensitivity in the game

UTILIZATION

The hit is very nice, not too heavy (but comparable to some piano), linear smooth, maybe a little slow (to rise) for use classique.Touches quality, flawless finish.
The general configuration uses the keyboard, a little quirky, but once adjusted to suit individual needs, I do not think we touched ay (using the manual useful).
No patch, selection of instruments / rhythms by direct buttons (using PC / sysex possible).
No display, so the choice of reverb / chorus to the ear (or MIDI).
The manual is very clear and full MIDI implementation / Sysex site Casio

SOUNDS

The sounds are great and can be edited via MIDI, so I think it will fit any style of violin playing music.The keyboard heavy, I see no point (that sounds weird and more).
The effects are effective and can be edited via MIDI.
There are 4 levels of velocity but no aftertouch (except MIDI).
The Grand Piano1 is, the 2 is more muffled (but needs improvement), the Harpsichord no interest.

OVERALL OPINION

I 15 days ago (thank you Santa Claus ...)
The keyboard (hit) is the highlight, the lack of display is unfortunate.
I tried all the keyboards of the store (even more expensive) and the PX110 was what I was looking for in terms of hit (the first criterion, I use it with expanders, therefore less important for the sounds). In same price range, I selected the CME UF8, but the hit is execrable (feeling hard spot, down in 2 stages) and the quality of the first models is zero (plastics, electronics ...)
The price / quality ratio is very good. There is no dbeaucoup of choice in this price range and I apreciated increasing gradually as I discovered.
A nice surprise and I would do this choice without hesitation.

88 keys / system support (20 styles) / 32 notes polyphony = (16 in STREO)
can connect two pedals (sustain and sostenuto), which is better than the competition
it is lightweight
finish rather good but the sides are plastic fragile: if we dplace often prvoir a flight

UTILIZATION

Excellent feel a little lighter than Yamaha (my opinion too heavy on the P-90) but much heavier than raliste and Roland
Simple function even if some go through the keyboard
Manuel well done
Splitable keyboard: it's rare that price

SOUNDS

Trs good piano sound (Piano 1 = 3 samples!) Even if it is not at a P-90 or FP-5.
It is necessary all the same prvoir an external amplifier (stereo or 2.1 system like Logitech and Altec Lansing) because the HP tend embrouller sound: it's a shame
I am a dcu by Rhodes silent nicer on the PX-100.
The strings = good in layer
Low = OK if external amplifier
Other sounds are not transcendent
The buddy system is the gadget: the PX is not an arranger. At the limit the battery can advantageously replace the metronome.

OVERALL OPINION

An excellent quality price. Casio continues as if a competition has to be worried.

88-key agile
10 sounds
Split 2-zone
Reverb & chorus / flanger
2 Squenceur track
Small box rhythm
Features like automatic accompaniment left hand ...
Midi in / out
Two headphone outputs.

IT IS SUPER LIGHT: 11.6 kg! This is great ...

Only BMOL:
It has no line-tural! It is therefore out by one of two headphone jacks through a small jack stro ...

UTILIZATION

As for the keyboard I should everything.
I prcise I'm not a pianist but a regular synths plutt LGERS touches ...
I wanted to have a heavy touch sensations qq on the sounds of my piano kurzweil expendeur and to facilitate the qq Czech pianists who spend at home studio recording ...

For the manual I do not even know what language it is ... there is no so simple!

SOUNDS

For the price and overall I think it's great!
The piano sound is an enjoyable trs. Branch on monitors or headphones, it sounds even better and I find it really good. (The two Triqui seems a little more like the electric piano Fender Rhodes and a trs is correct (by against the 2 is a copy of a DX7 ple varitoch for some use. ..). vibraphone and harpsichord are correct ... trs APRS, in terms of two sounds ogre ... (church and "jazz") hum, I do not know what to say .. . The ground of "violins" and the sound of walking bass are justified only by the prsence function for a layer and accompanying left hand (or split on two areas of the keyboard) to the other ...
Otherwise, the effects (always for the price) are correct but may be too Submitted by default ... It should therefore be rgler a bit (at least for me it's for the reverb adjustable from 0 ... 7 through the function key + reverb enffonces and keyboard signal es of 0 and 7 ... if I have all included) actually plutt than to have 8 revebes diffrent, I think they put plutt 8 reverb time values. 0 rglage me the okay. Otherwise it can also be cut.

The speakers are the same as correct if a little LGERS for bass reproduction ... they just tend to confuse the sound ... I think it is better to spend on a pair of external speaker if you like the sound (volume and quality while breathing), but well adpanne qd even be able to play everywhere, not only headphones its instrument. (Rarely found on the amplification MODELS Yam, Roland or Korg onreux more ... so it's nice to plutt we offer for the price!)

Voil APRS it certainly functions y 'personal practices but I do not serve (accompaniment, sequencer tracks 2, bote rate ...). I do not speak to you ...

OVERALL OPINION

This, in any case and I RPET: for its price, weight of 11.6 kg and sound qualities trs correct in this range, it is fall!
I put 10/10 for the report quality-weight / price

ps. (June 8, 2006):
I just figured out how to remove the effect of bad reverbration (while the same effect in it is off ...) which may be defined rsonance reproduce the sympathetic strings of a when playing piano sustain pedals down: in fact, simply remove what they call the DSP on PX-110! ... To do this you must press the "La" in the penultimate octave keyboard by holding down the function key (see Shma in the user manual of the PX-110 ...).
So, by adjusting and removing the reverb DSP a little "space", the sound of a piano is really excellent!
Attention ds back on that tone and the piano, the DSP returns to ON ... Must recommancer the manip!
