«  excellent value for money »

Value For Money : Excellent
88 Key: 3 sensors to hit heavy, beautiful and good key difference between low and high, very natural, very good hit, as well as digital pianos to 500 € more expensive
128 polyphony: unique at this price!
type arranger yamaha tyros 2 (I have one too) with the same type of function and worse overall (behind realism but not ridiculous)
has two outputs and 6.3mm line in jack also two entrances and two real midi in / out
the kit is purchased with 3 pedals well: as the three pedals of a piano
I also bought the wooden stand for a real set
Casio 72 sounds and 178 GM's non-editable
within 72 casio sounds, 12 piano with acoustic resonance (active when pressing the pedal: nice and pretty)
the rest covers the current needs in all families with often sounds like fun "harpsichord" ep and the dyno ... but below an arranger or synthesizer

UTILIZATION

very good hit (is alone worth the price for this 9), as well as digital pianos to € 500 or more: to discover without snobbery!
Manual ok, not very clear on certain aspects such as harmonizing car right hand that does actually work with the coach (it's written anywhere!)
General simple config with the sounds, rhythms and accompaniments directly accessible
ability to split in two (adjustable with choice of voice) and a layer and more on his right hand (with choice of voice) or three voices at all
a menu function with other settings requiring the document to understand how to access it: noon and whose management function rigolotte duo to play two directly with two keyboards of 44 keys with the same range of notes available

SOUNDS

For myself and compared to samples Korg M3 and XS motif rack: all 12 pianos are at a very good gameplay and good realism in grades
effect of brightness, reverb and chorus are ajoutables direct access: not rendering evil
the other sounds (of 72) are set back from libraries M3/XS but still playable
GM sounds are sounds but GM makes a lot here
very good expression of the sampled pianos on four layers from casio, very realistic and a better keyboard tyros 2 and a 61 M3, good response, very good shades possible with the original setting (fortunately others are all or nothing)
no aftertouch but this is not the goal

OVERALL OPINION

used for a week (for my son as "the first true piano", I find myself rather than go play on my set "tyros 2, Korg M3 61 and motif rack XS" plugged on prodipe Pro 8: it supports comparison and it's very enjoyable to play and hear, even on small speakers embedded 8 w.
In testing with my headphones roland HR 300 (€ 200 memory, a copy of Sony monitors), it still stands comparison
Output line of a chain that's good too (the speakers are embedded unless you plug a headphone load)

I tried models to over € 1500 in Roland, Korg and Yamaha, I find that it plays in the same way for much cheaper
the PX 330 is a good digital piano with a very good value for money and gifts for the price functions (other sounds, arranger, recording tracks ... 16 noon), and features that will allow me to go play there often or to recover as master keyboard to attack my rack XS if my son gets tired.
But he is delighted, and find it much better than playing on my other 2 keyboards and so he plays more, for it is the same piano that he has ongoing concervatoire (this was the first goal)
Part arranger is not at a tyros 2 which cost € 4,000 but for that price, have a heavy hit, the piano sounds good, sounds good other exploitable, arranger functions, this gift is
same choice if I had to redo a need to first hit heavy piano with 88 notes and more enhanced features and a real piece of furniture to stand
Very happy with my choice that I made one, since there is very little opinion on the casio range compared to the ranges Korg, Yamaha and Roland digital pianos for: test of our large and without snobbery, you'll be surprised!
