Casio Piano Usb

All built-in tones, including piano and acoustic instrument tones, now sound better than ever before! 48-tone maximum polyphony provides plenty of margin to minimize the chance of notes being dropped when tones are layered and when playing with Auto Accompaniment.

  • *Acoustic & Highly-compressed Large-waveform

An easy-to-play keyboard with an appearance resembling that of an acoustic piano.

Digital effects

Use effects to add reverb for more depth and breadth in your music.

You can sample a sound from a portable audio player or other device, and then play the sound on the keyboard. You also can use sampled sounds to compose music. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Start playback of the portable audio player connected to the keyboard’s AUDIO IN jack to sample voices, musical phrases, and other sounds in the playback.

Play notes on the keyboard using the sampled sound!
If you sample the 'Ting!' sound of a triangle, for example, you can then play notes with the sound
on the keyboard. You even can add reverb, vibrato, and other effects to the sampled sound.


Incorporate a sampled sound into accompaniment patterns!
You can sample a favorite musical phrase or drum sound, and use the same to replace some Auto Accompaniment drum sets.

Connect a digital audio player, CD player, or other audio device and you can play along with music played through the keyboard's speakers.

Music Challenge

Test your response with an exercise that is just like playing a game!

Music Challenge tests your reaction speed by requiring you to press the keys indicated by the on-screen keyboard guide in time with the Auto Accompaniment tempo using the correct fingers indicated by the on-screen fingering guide.

New lesson functions guide you along the way to music proficiency

To master a song, it is best to break it up into short phrases, master each of the phrases, and then put everything together. Step Up Lesson does exactly that, providing you with the support you need to improve your play.

Your lesson score appears on the display screen.

If the keyboard senses you are having problems, it will help you by calling out finger numbers in a simulated human voice.

While many digital pianos have built-in tools for learning and making music, you can expand your possibilities even further through your PC. A digital piano can be easily connected to your Windows or Mac computer opening up a universe of music education, composition, and recording software to explore.

One of the main reasons you might wish to connect your piano to a computer is to record your performances either for self-evaluation for sharing via social media or for sending to family and friends. When you record yourself playing on a digital piano, you are recording data and not actual sound. There is a big difference and some big benefits! Recording data means all of the actions you make when you play a piece — both key presses and control actions. This data is stored in a format known as SMF which means standard midi file and this data format allows you to do many things that you couldn’t do with a simple audio recording.

For example, if you recorded the right hand part of a piece, you could slow it down while practising the left hand. You could perhaps change the sound if you didn’t like the instrument. If you recorded your piece straight into a PC, you could even edit individual notes. It is worth noting that some pianos give you the option to record your performance as SMF data or audio – useful if you want to transfer it to a PC and email or burn a CD – no need to have dedicated recording software on a PC that will read SMF data.

How Do You Connect?

Connecting your piano to a computer is very simple. All you need to send MIDI data from your digital piano to your computer and back again is a USB cable. There are however, two types of USB connector – Type A and Type B. Type A is a “USB to Device,” connector and allows direct connection to a variety of external memory-storage devices such as a USB key. Type B is a “USB to Host,” connector and allows connection to computers. If you plan to use these connections, you need to check the type of USB connections available on the instruments you’re considering. Simply stating “USB” in the specifications doesn’t tell you the type of USB connectivity provided.

Just like a digital camera or printer a digital piano needs a bit of software called a Driver – so you will have to install a driver for your digital piano – all of the major digital piano manufacturers are very good at providing these at no charge. And that’s about it.

Some older digital pianos might not have a USB socket – that doesn’t mean you can’t connect to a computer. Instead of using a USB socket, you can use MIDI sockets. MIDI was originally developed by Roland as a way of connecting two musical instruments together and these MIDI sockets were how you connected them together. Since personal computers don’t have these sockets, connecting a digital piano to a computer requires an adapter that has the MIDI-standard DIN connector on one end, and a computer-friendly connector on the other.

Once you’re connected and you have your digital piano and PC fired up, you’re ready to explore the world of learning, composing and recording!
