<div>Senior staff writer Brent Butterworth is known as an audio journalist, but he is also an accomplished musician who has played double bass with jazz, rock, and folk groups in New York City and Los Angeles, recorded an album with his own jazz group, Take2, hosted regular jam sessions for years, and worked with innumerable keyboard players. He also owns two digital pianos.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>elektrik piano</div><div></div><div>Download File: https://t.co/4aMramIu2B </div><div></div><div></div><div>Previous versions of this guide were written by John Higgins, who holds a Bachelor of Music degree with an audio-production and piano focus from Ithaca College, as well as a Master of Music in keyboard collaborative arts from the University of Southern California. John has worked as a professional music director, performed in concert halls and on nightclub stages, and taught music at a private Los Angeles middle and high school.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Our testing panels have included two pro pianists. Liz Kinnon has performed with artists such as Dizzy Gillespie and Andy Williams, worked as an orchestrator on the animated shows Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Histeria, and currently teaches jazz piano at the Colburn School in Los Angeles. Phil Metzler is a lifelong musician who plays keyboards (and occasionally trumpet) in the pop/rock band Just Off Turner, which has released five studio albums. He also composes music in his home studio in Los Angeles.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Most digital pianos include a simple sustain pedal, which lets the notes ring out, but it is usually lightweight and prone to flopping over and getting kicked around the floor. Even if your piano comes with a pedal, we strongly recommend upgrading to a sturdier, weighted pedal right away. Some digital pianos allow an upgrade to a three-pedal module, which adds the soft and sostenuto pedals found on an acoustic piano; we recommend getting one of these if your piano is compatible.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The FP-10 is feature-packed and supports Bluetooth. It offers many special features, such as a metronome, action adjustment, and the ability to split the keyboard in two so that middle C is in the middle of each half of the keyboard, allowing a teacher and a student to play together on the same piano.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The physical controls leave much to be desired. The FP-10 lacks a digital display, and making adjustments manually is less intuitive on this piano than it is on our runner-up pick, the Casio CDP-S160.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We also liked the two electric-piano sounds. Brent particularly liked the B3 organ sound, and John thought the rotary-speaker sound effect added to the realism. However, the harpsichord and string sounds had a sterile and decidedly digital quality. The internal speakers play loud enough for a small, acoustic jam session.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You can return to the grand-piano sound with a single press of the function button, and the keyboard also has a dedicated button for starting and stopping the record feature. The volume dial feels firm and moves smoothly.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The CDP-S160 comes with a flimsy sustain pedal, which we recommend replacing with a heavier, sturdier pedal. The optional Casio SP-34 three-pedal add-on gives you the additional soft and sostenuto pedals found on an acoustic piano, and we recommend upgrading to it at some point.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The Alesis Recital Pro is by far the easiest to use of the digital pianos we tested, which may be especially important for beginners. Despite being the least expensive of our picks, it sounds good, plays reasonably well, and has the essential features we like to see.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The sound effects, on the other hand, are great, and the Recital Pro has a lot of them: eight different reverbs, eight choruses, and three modulation effects (tremolo, vibrato, and rotary speaker). The keyboard keeps your effect settings for each of the 12 sounds in memory, so it restores them when you choose that sound again or turn the keyboard off and then on. These effects are likely to be less important and useful for a beginner, but they might appeal to someone looking for an inexpensive performance piano.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Ease of use is its strongest asset. You can handle all instrument selection through six buttons on the console (two sounds per button). Buttons for modulation, chorus, and reverb effects are provided, and the piano has a digital display that shows all the settings and parameters.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Another feature that we found useful is the metronome, which you can easily access and adjust through the digital display and scroll wheel. Like our top picks, the CDP-S360 allows you to split the keyboard so that a teacher and a student can play together, or so that a single pianist can access two different sounds (or even two sounds at once in the upper register). The piano-control function of the Music Space app makes this feature easy to configure.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This piano plays just like the CDP-S160. The CDP-S360 uses the same scaled hammer action, and it has the same unusual but nice key texture. In a side-by-side comparison, the two keyboards felt the same.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Like most budget digital pianos, the CDP-S360 comes with a lightweight sustain pedal that tends to wander around on the floor. We strongly recommend replacing it with a heavier, sturdier pedal, or with the optional Casio SP-34 three-pedal add-on, which gives you the additional soft and sostenuto pedals found on an acoustic piano.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We considered the Roland Go:Piano88 as a possible substitute for our budget pick, the Alesis Recital Pro. It has nice-sounding samples, but it lacks weighted keys, which are important for beginners to learn on so that the transition to an acoustic piano is easier.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hello,</div><div></div><div>I have a naive question to identify my needs : </div><div></div><div>What is the main difference (not the price of course) between a yamaha grand piano and kawai VPC1. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I have now a good acoustic piano in my living room but would like to practice with privacy on a really good digital piano. Does it exist piano semi digital semi acoustic ? (not those with a silence system inside that destroys quite a bit the touch) ? </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Regards,Paul Lanthier</div><div></div><div></div><div>The traditional sound of this rare piano has been captured with our reputed attention to detail. We also recorded an innovative technique of meticulously hand-muting the metal tone bars, unlocking a distinct percussive sound which is unlike any other electric piano.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In true Westwood style, we took the original recordings and crafted eight unique textural sounds. Using reel-to-reel, guitar pedals and other methods of re-sampling, they sound like an aged analogue synth and compliment the electric piano perfectly. Some are off-pitch and warped, others are deeper and more pure.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Each one can be altered in character and tonality in its own individual way using the texture fader. Play them on their own, or in any number of combinations to hear the sound of this electric piano in a completely new and re-invented way.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Enjoy grand piano artistry in a portable package with our Allegro IV. From its 88-weighted keys you have instant access to authentic piano sounds and expressiveness. Allegro IV features our expressive Italian Concert Piano sound, with a total of 12 instrument sounds, and features an onboard speaker system unlike any other in its class.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The main difference between a piano (a standard acoustic piano) and a digital piano is the mechanism that produces the sound.</div><div></div><div>The piano produces sounds by channeling the power of the fingers pressing the keys into the hammers, which strike the strings. The vibrations produced by striking the strings are transmitted to the soundboard, and diffused richly, which amplifies the sound. When these vibrations combine with the resonances of strings other than the ones that were struck, it creates a unique sound.</div><div></div><div>In contrast, the digital piano has no strings. Each key is a switch to produce a specific sound, so to speak. An electronic tone generator produces the sounds, which are amplified using a speaker.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Digital pianos made by Yamaha are equipped with hammers, though. These are not for the purpose of striking the strings, as with an acoustic piano, but instead are employed to capture the dynamics with which the key is played, yielding a dynamic response to touch that more closely approximates the experience of playing an acoustic piano.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In an acoustic piano, the tone varies infinitely according to the pianist's touch. It is an instrument that can bring out emotions by playing musical pieces with great expressiveness.</div><div></div><div>At the same time, advances in technology have made it possible for digital pianos to reproduce sounds very close to those of an acoustic piano, and even the feel of the keyboard can be closely simulated by various mechanisms.</div><div></div><div></div><div>There are digital pianos from CASIO for the most diverse uses and demands. The models range from compact digital pianos in keyboard format, to the equally portable PRIVIA pianos with the AiR sound generation developed by CASIO, to the first-class electronic pianos with the authenticity of a classical grand pianos. The latter can be seen in the CELVIANO series as well as the CELVIANO Grand Hybrid digital pianos, which matches up to the original when it comes to the play feel and vividity of sound, expanding on the modern functions of a digital instrument. The CASIO digital pianos from the PRIVIA and COMPACT series are ideally equipped for stage and studio. Get a consultation from a local retailer, who will know which instrument best suits your needs.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Whether midi keyboard from the Compact series, CASIO PRIVIA Pro or one of the exclusive instruments of the premium class - when you choose an e-piano from CASIO, you are deciding on an instrument that can offer more.</div><div></div><div></div><div>These CASIO digital pianos captivate with their exclusive look and feel, as well as their fine finish. Through the combination of acoustic and digital technology, they offer an unmatched acoustic and digital fullness of sound. The designers at CASIO have implemented their full expertise in order to develop the CELVIANO Grand Hybrid Digital Piano, which reproduces authentic play on a concert grand.
