Digital Pianos Casio

Every year people are introducing more and more innovations into the life of mankind, and digital tools are no exception. Electronic equipment is an attempt by inventors to create something new, to combine modern developments with acoustic ancestors, removing the shortcomings of the latter, and they do it very well.

Casio is a well-known company specializing in the production of electronic devices, including musical instruments. Manufacturer country - Japan... This organization produces excellent electronic pianos and pianos under its own brand, differing in their dimensions, functions and appearance, but despite significant differences in different series, they all perfectly fulfill their tasks.

The two most popular musical instrument firms in the global market will never stop competing with each other. It is worth noting that the main factor in choosing a tool is tactile sensations, sound, appearance of the equipment, but there are also a number of criteria that are not noticeable externally. In the Casio piano, the whole emphasis is placed on the maximum approximation to an acoustic instrument and an understandable principle of operation, the manufacturer sets a goal for himself to create sound based on real technologies, which is why this piano format is suitable for novice musicians. Yamaha instruments are much more complex in their design, which makes it difficult to play, and even more so to learn from such instruments.

The sound is based on the use of recording parts of one sound and dynamic stereo.Only these stereos endow the person purchasing the instrument with only three levels of dynamics, which is why it will not be possible to fully convey the exact sound without deviations in sound. At the moment, professional musicians, as well as those who consider themselves as such, at every step scream that Yamaha instruments are much better, confusing young musicians in choosing an instrument for training, but is the brand important when the tool is hardly suitable for newbies?

Casio manufactures many models of instruments, but there are four of the most popular - these are Privia, Celviano, Celviano grand gybrid and Compact. Let's take a look at their characteristics, sizes and functions separately to understand how they differ.

Privia - versatile digital piano suitable for both music school student and experienced creators... Let's be honest: all Casio instruments are suitable for people of all levels and ages. A distinctive feature of this line is a three-touch graduated keyboard and closeness to the real tone of an acoustic grand piano.

The pianos of this series are made to be very portable. They are presented in two segments: compact (sold without stands) and traditional (sold with a stand). The tool is available in three colors: black, white and wood.

Instruments that amaze with their sound will definitely be in the Celviano range. Listening to the music emanating from the upright piano of this line, it seems that the musician is playing an expensive grand piano. This range outperforms the Privia series in several ways, such as increasing depth, resulting in more realistic, deeper sounds, but correspondingly larger instruments. Celviano has three pedals, a cover, and speakers built into a wood cabinet. The tool is available in black and white.

The Celviano grand gybrid was developed in collaboration with K. Bechstein "... Its size is about the same as that of the Celviano line, with a cover present. The piano has a palette of acoustic grand piano sounds, combining electric piano technology. The result is amazing. Compared to its ancestor, the instrument has an authentic sound, the keyboard has been updated, and the hammer action guarantees an excellent playing. The model is presented in two colors: white and black.

A budget price, a handy size, a pleasant sound and a well-balanced hammer-action keyboard - this is how the Compact line should be described. The cover is missing. This model has only one color - black.

Undoubtedly the most important thing in playing music is the instrument itself, but in order to play more comfortably, you can purchase some products, such as carrying cases for digital pianos... Without this accessory, you cannot leave the house with a tool, because it can be easily damaged, but the waterproof and dense fabric of which the covers are made will not allow this. There are also various stands and stands, which are simply necessary for normal and comfortable playing of the digital piano, headphones so as not to disturb neighbors and play even at night, a cape to protect the instrument not only from dust, but also from minor damages, debris and dirt.

The best option for connecting would be a PC. To do everything correctly and correctly, you need to devote time to the synchronization process and figure everything out. To connect, you need a USB cable connected to the computer with the end with a rectangular connector, and to the instrument with a round one.There are situations when a cord becomes unusable, when buying a new one, you need to pay attention to its length - two meters are considered convenient.

Next are installed driver... In most devices, the disc comes with the instrument, it is loaded immediately after it is placed in the drive. If it is not there, the official Casio website contains all the necessary drivers that can be downloaded for free. From the very beginning, digital instruments have built-in programs for recording music in real time, but as soon as the device is connected to a PC, the computer card starts playing the melody, which will affect the volume of the music, as well as the key.

So, step by step instructions for connecting.

• First thing connect the instrument with a cable, which was mentioned above, so that the computer system recognizes the instrument in time.
• Then you need to install and configure the PC sequencers. They make it possible to create and process two or more sound tracks at once.
• After all the manipulations done, start the music processing program. Midi cable can be used. You can purchase an adapter that provides wireless power - which instrument it is suitable for is always written on the label.
• In addition, there is an app called Chordana Play for Piano available in the AppStore and Google Play.that supports some digital pianos. It was created for easier learning of the instrument.

Adjusting the settings of a digital instrument consists of several steps.

Select the POWER button. Adjust the VOLUME volume to the desired volume. Then press TONE corresponding to the tone you want to select. At this stage, the keyboard is already working.

Find and open the "Table of additional programs", then in the attached instructions find the parameter that you need to configure. For example, the TRANSPOSE parameter is used to correct the key. Remember it. Press the button labeled TEMPO / SETTING, after the performed action the indicator lamp should blink.

Touch the symbols that you memorized in the first paragraph. The indicator of this button will begin to change colors. If you want to select several parameters, click on the necessary symbols until the parameter that you want to configure pops up. Select the YES / NO buttons depending on how you want to tune the instrument. Press TEMPO / SETTING to finish setting the parameters.

Changing the touch sensitivity of the keys, correcting the pitch, changing the key of the instrument (to do this, hold the FUNCTION button and select the desired setting) - these and other options can be found in the same place as the rest of the settings.

In most cases, digital pianos have three pedals (if they are not available, you can buy them), which have specific functions: a soft pedal (when pressed, notes are muted), a damper pedal (pressing while playing produces a long reverberation of the notes played) and a sostenuto pedal ( notes continue to sound until the pedal is released). Pedaling will make it more exciting, vibrant and lively
