Casio AP-620

250 AiF tones

• The excellent AiF Sound source produces 250 top-quality tones, which truly come into their own in both classic piano repertoire and many other genres.

AiF Linear Morphing

• The innovative AiF Sound Source technology produces top-quality tones perfectly suited to both classical piano music and other genres and enables gentle transitions between individual samples and dynamic levels. Complex stereo recordings from a top-quality concert piano (samples) with four dynamic levels provide a particularly authentic sound and allow you to play across various intermediate stages from piano to forte without any sound discolouration or audible leaps.

128-voice polyphony

• Guarantee an absolutely first-class piano sound. The expansion of the range of voices has made interpreting complex works a true pleasure and lets you play sweeping chords and make extensive use of the damper pedal.

"Tri-Sensor" scaled hammer-action keyboard

• Piano feeling: The scaled hammer-action keyboard with 88 touch response, weighted keys is based on the keyboard of a concert piano and provides an authentic playing experience. A third sensor in the keyboard allows players to use particularly fast techniques without the notes sounding unnaturally cut off.

180 rhythms

• 180 preset rhythms offer a varied range spanning the world of music.

Sequencer (recorder)

• With the sequencer (17 track/5 song), you can record your own ideas quickly and easily in real-time (capacity: 10,000 notes).

Registration memory

• Faster access: You can file up to 96 set-ups (8 x 12 spaces) in the registration memory.

Two piano setting keys

• Piano sound tailored to your own taste: The piano setting key switches to grand piano sound at the touch of a button. Two settings are available: "classic" for a soft, discreet sound and "modern" with a more lighter, brighter character.

High-quality DSP effects

• The AP-620 digitally reproduces the high-quality sound of a top concert grand piano complete with first-class reverb effects. The simulation of the resonating strings that is provided by the "Acoustic Resonance" CASIO effect rounds the sound experience off perfectly.

60 songs

• Listen, sing along, play along: 60 top quality songs are stored on your AP-620.

8 digital effects

88 Keys

• The scaled hammer-action with 88 touch response weighted keys are based on the grand piano keyboard and make for an authentic playing feel.

Ivory touch keyboard

• Both an audible and visual delight: The refined, matt keys with ivory touch not only look sophisticated and high quality, but provide a comfortable playing surface and additional stability to prevent your fingers from sliding. Enjoy a realistic playing experience!

LC display

• Retain an overview: The LC display provides you with easy access to the instrument's functions.

Duet function

• Ideal for lessons: the new duet functions allows teachers and pupils to play parallel to each other. The AP-620 can be divided into two keyboard areas, which can be transposed individually.

PANEL-Lock

• Safe: With the PANEL-Lock function, the control panel is protected from unintentional moves while playing.

Metronome

• Keep to the beat: The integrated metronome helps you keep to the rhythm.

Stereo LINE IN / OUT

MIDI-In/Out

2 headphone connections

3 pedals

• The AP-620 features a 3-pedal unit with expanded damper capability.

Powerful speaker system

• Impressive sound: The powerful two-way system with four speakers and 2 x 30 watts of output power ensures an exhilarating sound delivery. The sound is not only projected in the direction of the player but also to the rear or downwards, depending on the model.

• This creates a three-dimensional and more natural sound.

SD card slot

• The innovative SD memory medium offers a simple but limitless way to expand the internal song memory of the AP-620.

USB Plug & Play/Song expansion

• The USB/MIDI­(GM) connection enables further Midfile songs to be loaded into the internal memory via the "Song expansion". The memory capacity is 320 KB, enabling up to 10 songs to be saved. No software installation from a CD-ROM required thanks to Plug & Play and the USB driver is compatible with both Mac and Windows (from Mac OSX 10.03 and Windows XP/Vista).

Music preset

• The "Music Preset Library" contains 300 "one touch settings“ based on popular rock and pop songs. The useful pre-settings for rhythm, tone, tempo, effects etc. makes time-consuming searches for the right settings a thing of the past. This assistant makes playing the "top 300" child's play!
