There\'s something in the air...
CASIO looks forward to presenting its innovative AiR digital piano technology
and the European debut of the PRIVIA Pro PX-5S in Frankfurt
CASIO at Musikmesse 2013 is showcasing its innovative AiR technology in its new
generation PRIVIA and CELVIANO models, thus revealing the impressive performance of
today\'s digital pianos. This music trade fair will also serve as the venue for the European
début of the PRIVIA Pro PX-5S, the latest AiR piano from CASIO. As a full equipped
performance instrument, this modern stage piano has everything a professional musician
could ask for. At Stand A48, Hall 5.0, piano fans will truly be in their element.
The revolutionary
AiR technology from CASIO offers unbelievably precise emulation of
sound production and keyboard response. The newly developed, multi-dimensional AiR
sound source - AiR stands for acoustic and intelligent resonator - generates a superior
richness of sound and resonance. Using the keyboard to create a dynamic grand piano
sound, you can easily forget that you are playing a digital instrument. On the keyboard itself,
the carefully crimped surface texture offers the same look and feel as real ebony and ivory.
All in all, CASIO has managed to add a whole new dimension of authenticity. With
innovations such as lid simulation and the variable piano lid, this CASIO class will make you
sit up and listen very attentively. While on the subject of listening: you can also try out the
new digital pianos to your heart's content in the CASIO Sound Showroom at the
Musikmesse. There's the added bonus of an unusual setting, because just as in the
CASIO@Home POS concept, CASIO offers a new shopping experience of a very special
type - all instruments are presented in a home environment. Welcome to the CASIO Living
Room!
The
PRIVIA Pro PX-5S, CASIO's brand spanking new digital piano with AiR Technology, will
be making its debut in Europe at Frankfurt. This stage piano offers a high polyphony of 256
notes and also encompasses the extended AiR technology package with features such as lid
simulation and hammer response. The Tri-Sensor keyboard has a scaled hammer action,
thus bringing an authentic piano touch to the stage. Weighing just 11.1 kg, the
PRIVIA Pro
PX-5S really hogs the limelight with its vintage classic and cult e-piano sounds and fantastic
features from CASIO's new XW synthesizers. Fully programmable Hex Layer tones open up
unexperienced universes in sound - from atmospheric synth melodies through to complex
orchestra simulations. Stage piano or stage synthesizer? Does it matter? The main thing is
that its live sounds are pleasing to the ear and set your feet tapping.
The controller functions are determined by sliders and knobs. The phrase sequencer with
eight tracks enables sequences and riffs to be called up during performances. The audio
recording system allows you to record 100 songs as WAV files (with 44.1 kHz/16 Bit) directly
onto a USB flash drive. With these outstanding features, the
PRIVIA Pro PX-5S shows itself
to be a true flagship stage piano and is set to take Frankfurt by storm.
The music fair also sees CASIO launching new colour variants for the PRIVIA PX-850 (white
and brown), the AP-450 (white) and the XW-P1 performance synthesizer (orange).
Furthermore CASIO is extending the lighted keyboard range with the LK-127 and the LK-
247.
