I bought this pedal unit to go with my PX-310. The pedals are of sufficient quality and responsive enough for practice use at home. It has survived 3 years of travelling to New Zealand, Australia, and UK, so it can\'t be that bad! :)

I have a Casio Privia PX-410R with a SP-30 pedal board. The PX-410R is fine, but I cannot recommended the SP-30 for its durability! The pedal pivots on a thin plastic hinge, and it\'ll break in a couple of months of regular use! I fixed mine by inserting an aluminium block at the pivot.

I decided to buy a wk 500 for many reasons. The first and foremost being that there is a 3 month wait for the new Nord Electro. I needed something that covered strings and synth sounds to back up the Nord, as well as something portable and cheap for practice/ composition. So how good a job have Casio done with the WK 500? First and foremost this is an entry level keyboard or back up. At this price you should expect no more. The keys themselves are lightweight plastic. Flimsy feeling but quite playable. They do feel cheap compared to more serious instruments. The inbuilt speakers are adequate but not indicative of the sounds you hear when plugged into a decent amplifier. The sounds themselves are quite good for the price. Easily layered and/or split with minimal fuss. The 32 performance presets are great, but require 6 D cell batteries to be fitted in order to retain your settings. On that note you MUST buy a power supply if you intend to play for serious amounts of time. Built in lessons and auto acompaniment are ok but show this keyboards true market target. Beginners and occasional players. All in all I am quite pleased with this unit. It\'s an honest instrument for the price and is built well. Capable of holding it\'s own in band situations but limited in sound flexibility. I would have given this keyboard 5 stars if it had a stronger effects pallet, but thats probably just wishfull thinking on my part.

Hello spiritual family, This instrument was heard from my home recording playing many of the sounds. When I heard it from far away (in another room and downstairs),queitly, it sounds very clear and the note that I played can be easily made out. The reverb effect goes up to 10 and it is very filling. This is a excellent piano player practice instrument or for a synthesizer players use,(voice 306 and others sound like synthesizers, to me.)

Bought to replace Technics SX P-50. To use on gigs and in the studio. I\\\'ve now spent over a week with this machine. Stage piano sounds: all pianos and e.pianos usable. Keyboard action: very light to medium. Doesn\\\'t tire the hands. Very portable - thankyou! Can use built in audio/speakers as monitors when piano output to main. Recorder ok and very useful for hearing what you/ve just been practising. There are rhythms and gimmicky sounds, if needed? Two year warranty - nice. The music stand design is poor, could easily be broken. Value for money - yes. All Casio have to do now is get rid of the gimmicks, add a kebooard lid, up-grade the body shell to aluminium or hi-tec composite (piano built into it\\\'s own lightweight case?)and Yamaha, Korg, Roland et.al.are no longer into stage pianos.

CASIO PRIVIA PX-320 : Casio PX-320

User: BeowulfX
Rating; 9/10
On the outside, it may look rather "simple" or bland due to its "space-saving" slim design. It's noticeable that it lacks a large LCD screen that more expensive digital pianos have (e.g. Clavinova, Roland etc.). But do not let the simplistic/minimalistic exterior design fool you into thinking this keyboard is a dud, because it can hold it's own in terms of a decent sounding grand piano patch/sampled sound and even saxophone sounds and a vintage electric piano sound. The PX-320, like its predecessor (PX-310), is meant for home studio/stage use which is the reason why it also has a handy registration bank/memory feature for storing various keyboard settings (i.e. pertaining to use of split, layered tones, patch and rhythm settings) that can be useful for quick patch or setting changes while "gigging". The hammer-action feel of the keys are realistic, you can actually hear and feel the hammer action when you press and release a key. It has a 128-note maximum polyphony. Using some tones/patch, however, the 128 note polyphony maybe limited to 64-note polyphony...and this is true in using "special tones" like MODERN GRAND PIANO, breathy ALTO/TENOR SAX and other panel tones that make extensive use of more complex samples. However, majority of the GM tones and even some panel tones and variation tones, do not limit or diminish the existing 128-note polyphony to 64-note-polyphony. So, nothing to worry about here. It has adequate jacks for connection to a PA system/ decent pair of loud speakers (L/MONO and R line out), USB to PC port, MIDI IN/OUT and dual headphones and even a LINE-IN. Some of the variation tones and panel tones make use of their own "effects" (i.e. reverb and chorus). The reverb and chorus effects each have 4 levels. As an example, you can manually set the reverb, say, to a "small room", "large hall" effect. The keys are "touch response" meaning, they're pressure sensitive (most people would refer to it as "velocity" rather than "pressure"), the more force you apply in pressing the keys...the louder the sound you produce...and the lesser pressure you apply on the keys, the "softer" the sound (this is true in using all sound patches/tones, except the drum set patch). It can play STANDARD MIDI FILES TYPE O AND 1. It can record into 2 tracks only and can also record in either SMF Type 0 or in Casio's proprietary music format. The CASIO PRIVIA package comes with a program CD which also contains an application that can be used to convert CASIO recorder music data to STANDARD MIDI FILES (i.e. SMF 0). You can expand the number of built-in classic tunes or songs for possible practice or learning sessions by loading new songs via the SD card slot. You can also use the SD-Card feature as a means to make the PRIVIA piano a MIDI-file player. I've tried using it as a "MIDI controller keyboard" and it works just fine. You'll need a MIDI implementation chart though which is included in the manual (appendix page). The sampled Grand Piano patch, breathy ALTO/TENOR saxophone patches, flute and even the violin are amazingly expressive and even realistic. The onboard effects are limited to reverb (4 types) and chorus (4 types/levels). At least, CASIO has "toned down" the brass section from the old "harsh and loud" brass sounds to a more refined (slight softer) brass section sound. The touch response is great and responsive to the amount of force you apply to individual keys. This is great for more expressiveness in playing music pieces or arrangements. Sadly, the PRIVIA series and most of CASIO's products do not have keyboard AFTERTOUCH. But I can live without it and in my humble opinion, the music does not really suffer that much without an AFTER TOUCH feature. The key resistance is medium-heavy...not too soft (like those in synths and portable keyboard/workstations) and not too heavy (like some poorly made/designed upright pianos). I compared the CASIO PRIVIA PX-320 with YAMAHA's DGX-620 but the 128-note polyphony, good hammer-action feel, some newer features and relatively cheaper price won me over to CASIO's PRIVIA. If ever there's few other things/feature I wish the PX-320 had, it would have to be a PITCH-BEND WHEEL (very useful for guitar patches), a modest if not slightly bigger LCD screen and a numeric keypad button for easy selection of the GM tones/variation tones...instead of having to press the YES/NO button simultaneously with the GM/VARIATION TONE BUTTON to scroll down through various patch numbers to select the tone you want. THANKFULLY AND MERCIFULLY, the registration memory feature of the PX-320 should make recalling sound patches and other settings easier with just a click of a button. I love the Grand piano, saxophone, steel guitar, some electric piano patches and last but not the least, I particularly love the 128-note polyphony and the SD card storage feature. The PX-320 is truly a better version of the older PX-310 in terms of added features and better piano sound samples. It's a true "bang-for-the-buck" digital piano. It's worth the amount I paid for it and it can give the Yamaha DGX-620 a tough competition in terms of decent piano sound and hammer-action/weighted keys.

At this price at Dolphin, this elec piano is a steal. True hammer weight style action, you may as well be playing a real grand. The piano sounds are great for the price, and the ability to layer sounds is a bonus. Other synthesized sound are ok, but if you're looking for Piano sounds on the go, which I am, dont look past this synth. It is relativly light too, so mobility not an issue. ALso it make for a great midi control keyboard if you want to link it to Reason or your fav application. I bought this elec piano with the Behringer ULTRATONE K450FX amp. These 2 combined make the perfect match. These 2 products ceretainly wont break your bank!! So I give it 9/10. It looses just the 1 mark for its synthesized sounds which are ok, but for it's Piano, you cannot go wrong.

Wonderful : Casio PX-720 - Dark

First of all, I am an adult amateur who is still learning how to string notes together. I have heard quite of number of reviews on how players should stay clear from the Privia series or even all Casio digital pianos. However, I wondered have these people really tried them especially the later series before they write or is it because the cost of these ranges simply means this is a substandard product to them. True that the earlier series might be inferior as compared to Yamaha or some other reputable brands however the newer series such as the PX720 & 800 comes in with a bang and obviously with a different approach - sleek and compact is the theme is for these privia series. In contrast with upright looking digital pianos, the PX720 & 800 has a relatively short length/width and with a simple back-to-basic design yet somehow maintains the look of a real piano exuding a sexy feel. Now features wise, this device is loaded with a generous 128 polyphony sound, weighted keys, 3 standard pedals, 2 built in earphone jack allowing slient practicing, 3 sensitivy touch response, 2 box speaks to produce rich sound and not forgetting the Tri-element sound system which uses 3 different waveforms of each note, makes it possible to produce realistic sounds at different key pressures. Enough said, it\'s useless if a digital piano packs a thousand feature but don\'t sound and feel good. Ultimately, what we need is something that feel and sound as close as the real thing. After playing my 720 for 2+ weeks, I would say its quite close to the upright piano in my dinning room. It sounds good although not as rich as my upright and the touch and response of the weight keys feels just right. Overall, I am happy with this product and will recommend it to all players especially those with tight budget and confined space.

After one month of intense use I'm ready to write my serious opinion about this keyboard. It seems to be a bargain for so many qualities. It has excellent sample acoustic piano sounds, rhodes piano is very good as well,and the others 200 sounds including drum sets and an arrangment section with rythms makes this keyboard very complete. It also has midi in/out/through lineout and linein and 2 headphones connections. Well the midi section is primitive. Y can choose the midi out channel but just for whole keyboard (no split is considered). If y want to use it as a multitimbral sound module y have to guess what is the behavior once nothing is explained on manual. After mailing Casio support about this issue, I receive this answer 3 days after "Read the Midi Implementation Chart". Ridiculous! About the keyboard touch and quality. Opps. Keyboard touch is fine but although it has 3 velocity curves it is not easy to achieve very loud or light sounds. Monitoring that with a midimonitor confirm that is dificult to have note velocity over 100 or less than 30. Unfortunatly it seems that the same keyboard isn't reliable as well. 3 days ago G key started to make an aditional mechanical clank sound (it seem plastic hitting plastic). Yesterday C key started with same problem. Well, once I bought this unit cos I mainly need a keyboard with piano touch I'm wondering if I will return.
