CASIO Privia 88-Key Electronic Musical Weighted Keyboard, Black - PX-S5000BKC2

An Authentic Touch, with a Stylish Body:

The Privia PX-S5000 incorporates the same Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keyboard inherited from the upper models. It has a slim, stylish design with a sense of luxury. Great for those who seek a piano that offers both an authentic sound and touch of a grand piano, and a clean, modern look.

Features:

• Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keyboard combines an advanced physical keyboard mechanism with digital control technology for highly expressive playability.
• White keys are made from a high-quality spruce wood/resin composite material for a natural feel and premium finish.
• Stunningly authentic acoustic grand piano tones courtesy of Casio’s unique Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source.
• The world’s slimmest form with a front-to-back depth of just 232 mm.
• Layer and Split functions allow you to layer two separate tones together or split the keyboard into upper and lower parts with individual tones for each.
• The CASIO MUSIC SPACE app exclusively for Casio electronic musical instruments opens up new ways to enjoy making music.
• The included WU-BT10 Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor allows you to playback music from your smartphone or tablet through the PX-S5000’s speaker system.

Design:

• Simple, minimalist design aesthetic matches well with any interior style.
• The world’s slimmest body housing a full-size weighted keyboard with a front-to-back depth of just 232 mm allows greater flexibility in placement.
• Keys made from a new composite material with real spruce wood veneer visible from the side when played.
• Gold Casio logo lends a premium look and feel.
• Flat, high-gloss-finish top panel with touch-sensitive controls.

Sound Source:

• Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source produces a wide range of exceptionally detailed and playable tones, including grand piano tones that include the rich resonances of the acoustic instrument.
• The piano tone subtly changes over time and with every nuance of the player’s style, from the softest of touches to powerful, spirited playing.
• The overtones generated by the piano strings for each of the 88 keys—and the resulting complex body resonances—are faithfully produced to create a beautifully rich and vivid piano tone.

Sound System:

• Built-in speaker system delivers well-balanced sound with depth and weight in the low end and a sparkling high end with a vivid sense of presence.
• Strengthened speaker diaphragm creates shimmering the high frequencies, while the reinforced internal structure keeps the low frequencies tight yet powerful.
• The Hall Simulator/Reverb function recreates the acoustic properties of concert halls and other performance spaces producing a realistic sense of presence. Create your own space with your preferred acoustic settings.

Tones:

• Starting with Casio’s authentically detailed Concert Grand Piano tones, the 23 available tones span all major genres including pop and jazz with electric and acoustic pianos, organs, strings, bass and more.

Keyboard:

• Smart Hybrid Hammer Action Keyboard allows for highly expressive playing from soft to forceful touch through a combination of advanced physical keyboard mechanism and digital control technology.
• Like an acoustic grand piano, the key mechanism uses the weight of the hammers so that the keys feel light when played softly but still responsive when played forcefully.
• White keys are made from a high-quality spruce wood/resin composite material for a natural feel and premium finish.
• White keys are finished to recreate the natural grain of ivory, while the black keys feature a new matte finish that closely resembles ebony wood in both look and feel.
• 88-Key Digital Scaling technology means that volume is individually controlled for each key in response to how hard it is played, with the touch weight varying along the length of the keyboard, like a grand piano.
• Four-step Hammer Response setting allows you to adjust the timing of the sound relative to how the key is struck and which register is being played, like an acoustic piano.
• Three levels of Key Off Response control how quickly the sound decays when a key is released. A slightly more legato or staccato feel can be selected to suit the song.
• Key Off Simulator controls how quickly the sound fades after a key is released depending on how quickly the key is released. This attention to the finest nuances of how a grand piano responds to the player’s expression is typical of the PX-S5000.

Pedals:

• Essential for piano performance, the supplied SP-3 damper pedal can be connected to the PEDAL UNIT jack. For greater expressive control, the SP-34 three-pedal unit (sold separately) with a continuously variable damper pedal, can be connected.

Experience:

• Digital effects, including Sound Modes, Chorus, Brilliance and other DSP effects, add depth and space to sounds.
• Layer function for layering of two different tones, and Split function for splitting the keyboard between lower and upper zones with a bass tone assigned to the lower zone and a freely assignable tone for the upper zone.
• Duet function for splitting the keyboard into two zones of the same register.
• Built-in MIDI record/playback and metronome functions for practice sessions.
• Part on/off function allows you to mute the right- or left-hand part of song data saved in the user area of the digital piano or USB flash drive. Great for practicing each part separately. (Note that the effectiveness of this feature depends on the song data.)
• Two headphone jacks allow for up to two pairs of headphones to be connected for private listening.

Audio Recorder:

• Record your playing as a standard WAV audio file on a commercially available USB flash drive for playback on a computer or other device.

MIDI Recorder:

• MIDI recorder allows you to capture your playing as MIDI song data, which can be played back from the Digital Piano – perfect for piano lessons and practice.
