Casio AP-500
88-Note Weighted-Action Cabinet Piano
The Casio AP-500 offers the sound and feel of a grand
piano. It combines quality, style and technology in a beautifully crafted
traditional cabinet. AP-500- includes 88-full-size, weighted and graded Keys,
Casio exclusive AIF sound source, which produces 128-note polyphony so no sounds
will be lost. The keyboard includes two powerful 30W speakers, song memory, SD
card slot and USB for connection to the internet.
The Casio exclusive AIF (Acoustic & Intelligent Filtering System) sound source
delivers all the sound quality and playability of a fine grand piano.
High-precision stereo sampling of a grand piano combines with an original new
filter system to produce sounds that modulate naturally from the moment a key is
pressed until the note decays. The Casio AP-500 piano has a Tri-element system
uses three different waveforms of each note which makes it possible to produce
realistic sounds in response to different key pressures. In addition, an
original AIF Sound Source system communicates each delicate nuance to the sound
source so everything from pianissimos to fortissimos is reproduced with the same
richness of expression as an acoustic grand.
