How to Choose the Best Digital Piano or Keyboard for Your Sound


State-of-the-art AiR Grand Sound Source





Casio’s AiR (Acoustic and Intelligent Resonator) Grand Sound Source offers many impressive features and benefits, such as Multi-dimensional Morphing, which provides for smooth changes between soft and strong passages. Acoustic Simulator technology reproduces the characteristics of sounds generated acoustically by acoustic grand pianos. Harnessing and focusing the power of this state-of-the-art sound engine, the AP-710 delivers not just one, but three of the world’s premier grand pianos from Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna. Each instrument the result of meticulous research and analysis of its unique characteristics, the Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna Grands are faithful, expressive virtual incarnations of these distinctive pianos.





Three of the most outstanding pianos on the planet





Developed in close cooperation with C. Bechstein to achieve a stunning re-creation of string and damper resonance, mechanical noises, and other subtle nuances, the Berlin Grand conveys the sound and playing experience of C. Bechstein’s ultimate achievement, the legendary D282. The AP-710 enhances the sound of this, as well as the Hamburg, and Vienna Grands, with brilliant chord resonance and longer, more natural decay than previous-generation Celvianos, ensuring that each sustained note tells its own complete story. The AP-710 also gives you enhanced sensitivity and expression for pianissimo sounds, especially when at pianississimo and softer.





Ebony And Ivory-textured keys





The AP-710 features Casio’s Tri-Sensor II 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard. Through Casio’s meticulous engineering, the Tri-Sensor II delivers stunningly realistic piano feel and response that conveys every nuance of your performances. This scaled hammer action provides the weighting and resistance of a grand piano without the periodic tuning and maintenance that acoustic pianos do. What’s more, the keys feature simulated ebony and ivory surfaces, which not only feel realistic; they wick away moisture to provide a positive grip for confident playing. We play a lot of pianos here at Sweetwater, but we’ve rarely found a piano-playing experience like this!





Education features and more





The AP-710 features a total of 26 onboard sounds, and you have the ability to layer two sounds or split the keyboard to put a bass sound in the left hand. It has a library of 60 songs you can practice at your choice of tempo, utilizing the dual headphone outputs or the piano’s rich-sounding 20W/channel speaker system. Duet Mode splits the keyboard into two identical ranges, letting a student and teacher play simultaneously. The Concert Play feature makes you the star of a piano concerto, playing with the orchestra. You can fine-tune the volume of your piano part, putting you right where you need to be in the mix. This adjustment is also available while playing along with the onboard Song library.
