The Casio Celviano AP-450 Digital Piano offers musicians a dynamic sound and expressive playability. The 88 keys feature a weighted hammer action and triple sensitivity touch response allowing the full character of your playing to be registered. The AiR sound source produces rich, developed tones close to an acoustic piano. The AP-450 also benefits from split and duo modes, which are ideal for interactive learning with students and teachers alike. The ebony and ivory feel key tops have a responsive touch and are receptive to the subtleties of your playing. The AP-450 is ideal for the developing musician looking for a reliable piano in the home environment.
FULL DESCRIPTION
Scaled Hammer Action Keys
When you play the AP-450, it feels like you're playing an acoustic piano. The Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard responds to the players touch with three sensors that detect the touch of keys sequentially. The simulated ebony and ivory keys offer a luxurious texture and smooth touch of a grand piano keyboard. The minute crimp of the surface finish means that the keys have a perfect fingertip fit, even when you're playing for extended lengths of time.
Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Technology
In addition to feeling like an acoustic piano, the AP-450 sounds like one too. All 88 keys incorporate a stereo resonance simulator, and are able to give remarkably realistic sounds taken from enhanced waveform data sampling, stored on the AP-450's installed memory. The rich, resonating tones that are produced by the AP-450 are due to Casio's Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source. The improvements Casio have made to the memory of the Celviano series mean that it can produce the natural tones you'd only expect from an acoustic piano, beginning with the initial sound and leading into a beautiful extension until the sound eventually vanishes.
Packed with More Features
The damper resonance achieves a deeper and more naturally beautiful resonance than a pedal, the subtle changes in reverberation occur in response to the delicate pressure exerted by even partial pedal operation
The Key Off and Lid Simulator features on the AP-450 contribute to its convincing acoustic piano sound. The new keyboard system reproduces the nuances that occur from the speed at which you release each key, created even more authentic reverberations. The volume and quality of the sound change when the lid on a grand piano is raised or lowered. The lid simulator allows you to select the degree to which the lid is open or closed, providing you with even more options for differing sounds.
