Published on 12/25/13 at 14:51Heavy hit 88 notes (without aftertouch).
Over 20 sounds of acoustic pianos and over 10 electric piano sounds.
Other sounds categorized (Guitar / Bass, String ...) good bills.
Over 250 GM sounds.
The sounds are not editable.
Both effects are available (reverb and chorus / flanger).
A 16-track sequencer.
Arranger.
Jack MIDI IN and OUT.
Amplifications are good and excellent sound reproduction.
UTILIZATION
One of the best hit heavy for quality / price ratio (for me better than the Yamaha P-90 as it is in the same price range). This is really a great surprise, the piano is lightweight (about 12 kg) and is touched close to that of an acoustic piano. An excellent compromise weight / price / quality.
For the selection of sounds no problem, it is ultra-simple.
For the arranger as it is quite easy to use.
For the sequencer, remember, it is unmanageable, it is necessary to leave the manual every time you want to use. It is impossible to retain manipulations without the instructions so it's complicated to use (you have to press key combinations + other function keys). A key does not have the same function as the LED next to the button is off, flashes or remains lit. Unable to remember is undrinkable.
Fortunately, the manual is correct and MIDI Implementation too, which allows you to connect the camera to a computer and use it with an external sequencer (cubase, rosegarden ...)
SOUNDS
The piano sounds are varied and very good for this price. In my opinion, this is the value for money the most advantageous. Sounds have nothing to envy brands (roland, yamaha), whether acoustic pianos but also electric pianos, the wurly is really excellent and rhodes are good. Compared to the competition and staying in the same price range, this device offers a much higher sound range and good quality.
The drum kits GM Bank are correct and allow good compositions.
The effects are withdrawals. We do not hear nearly the difference between reverb (room and lobby are almost identical). You can also choose between a chorus and a flanger (the flanger is quite efficient for that matter).
OVERALL OPINION
Okay so this is where it goes bad! After three years my piano began to be a problem. Three keys remained insensitive to the sensitivity (these three keys always played fortissimo, sensor failure). Can not play it. I tried to get it repaired by authorized but not repair, I was told that the service was completely casio zero and the last time that such a problem had happened, they took several months before spare parts. I sent a registered letter to headquarters office Casio to express my dissatisfaction and whether they had a solution for me but they never replied letter. So, I gave my piano friends (well almost, they insisted on giving me 70 €). It will serve me a lesson, and I'll catch more buy Casio.
