Casio AP500 Digital Home Piano
The Casio AP500 gives you the sound of an acoustic piano in a stylish space saving design.
A new AIF Sound Source delivers all the sound quality and playability of a fine grand piano. High-precision stereo sampling of a grand piano combines with an original new filter system to produce sounds that modulate naturally from the moment a key is pressed until the note decays. A Tri-element system uses three different waveforms of each note, which makes it possible to produce realistic sounds in response to different key pressures. In addition, an original AIF Sound Source system communicates each delicate nuance to the sound source so everything from pianissimos to fortissimos is reproduced with the same richness of expression as an acoustic grand.
Includes two powerful 30W speakers, Song memory, SD card slot and USB for connection to the internet.
Casio AP500 Features
- Advanced Casio exclusive AIF sound chip
AIF (Acoustic & Intelligent Filtering System) Sound Source
Precision, large-volume sampling of waveform data combines with the latest in waveform processing technology to produce natural, amazingly realistic grand piano and other acoustic musical instrument sounds.
- 128 note polyphony
Notes reverberate naturally without being cut off during high-speed passages and pieces that require intensive damper pedal operations. It also provides plenty of playability for four-hand duets as well.
- Tri-element for piano tones
Three separate samples of a grand piano are employed for strong, light, and medium keyboard pressure. The result is an amazing range of expression for a digital piano.
- Acoustic resonance
An acoustic resonance system reproduces the resonant effect of a grand piano damper pedal for more realistic piano performances.
- 2-way speaker system
4-speaker 2-way sound system for crear, rich, powerful output
- SMF tunes are easily extended by USB / SD card
You can store up to 10 songs you have downloaded with your computer as songs 61 through 70 of the Music Library and practice along with them as they play, just as you do with the built-in songs. You also can use the CASIO SMF conversion software (SMF Converter) to convert SMF data files you have purchased or created, and transfer them to the digital piano’s Music Library.
- Lesson Function
You can turn off the left hand part or right part during playback of a Music Library tune, and play along with the remaining part.
