AP-270

Features

Touch response

Enables dynamic playing by differing sound intensity and sound properties in response to the keystroke. A light, slow stroke sounds soft and gentle, while a hard stroke sounds loud and powerful.

Damper resonance

The nuances generated by pressing the damper pedal are authentically replicated.

Hall Simulator

The Hall Simulator is a high-quality digital effect. The acoustic environment of selected famous concert and music halls, cathedrals and arenas can be imitated in detail and naturally by this feature.

Hammer response

The specific feel of an acoustic piano also comes from the delay between striking the key and the sounding of the string.
The size and mass of the hammer heads and the time that elapses until they hit the strings are directly linked to the pitch and striking intensity on the keyboard. CASIO Hammer Response technology reproduces this mechanical property of an acoustic instrument.

Layer

This function layers two timbres, such as soft piano sounds combined with bowed string instruments, perfectly suited for ballads as well as slow and romantic songs.

3-pedal unit (integrated)

Classic pedal unit as found on the majority of acoustic pianos and concert pianos: 1x damper pedal, 1x sostenuto pedal and 1x soft pedal.

Reverb

Digital effect that adds reverberation to the timbre.

Split

Option to divide the keyboard into two zones playing differing timbres, e.g. bass with your left hand and piano or vibraphone with your right hand when playing jazz or swing pieces.

Synthetic ebony and ivory texture

The elegant keyboard design provides the same luxurious feel and look as genuine ebony and ivory. The carefully roughened surface texture prevents fingers from slipping, even after playing for a long time.

Concert Play

192-note polyphony (max.)

Multi-dimensional AiR Sound Source

AiR stands for "Acoustic and intelligent resonator", which is multi-dimensional sound production newly developed by CASIO.
Together with other innovations, this sound production method constitutes the core of the new digital piano technology. The result is unprecedented, natural-sounding digital reproduction of grand piano playing and sound properties.
