Style & Elegance
Packed with Casio's renowned Tri-sensor Scaled Hammer-action II keyboard, the Privia PX-160 digital piano provides you not only with realistic piano feel, but also with remarkable, incredibly rich sounds that lend classiness to whatever you're playing. In addition to its stunning grand piano sounds, you also get lush string ensembles and electric pianos that were derived from Casio's award-winning PX-55 stage piano. Throw in a pair of stellar-sounding rear-ported speakers, dual headphone outputs, and dual line outputs, and you can see why the Privia PX-160 has been so eagerly anticipated here at Sweetwater. Delivering elegant looks and first-rate sound, the Casio Privia PX-160 is a phenomenal digital piano!
AIR
Casio's proprietary sound source, "AiR" (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) provides the grand piano sounds in the PX-160. Casio meticulously recorded the sound of a 9-foot concert grand at 4 dynamic levels. The AiR engine delivers this sound with seamless dynamics for a remarkably expressive and powerful performance. Damper Resonance is simulated by AiR for uncanny realism when the damper pedal is used.
New Sounds
The PX-160 also features newly developed string ensemble sounds. These rich stereo strings sound wonderful by themselves or layered with the PX-160's grand pianos, electric pianos, harpsichord and more. The electric pianos have also been updated providing some dynamic sounds derived from Casio's award winning PX-5S stage piano. The PX-160 provides split and layer capability allowing you to play bass in your left hand and have two layered tones in your right. Duet mode allows the keyboard to be split into two equal ranges, so the student and teacher can use the piano simultaneously. A two track recorder can even record and playback your practice and performances. The optional CS-67 stand puts the PX-160 at the proper height and the optional SP-33 pedal system provides the same 3 pedal functionality as a grand piano.
Connectivity
The Casio Privia PX-160 digital piano's built-in 2 track recorder and metronome allows you to practice any tempo and later listen back to what you just played.The recording features can also be used to capture moments of creativity and remember song ideas. What's more, it's easy to connect the Privia PX-160 to your computer with its built in USB MIDI interface. The Privia PX-160's 88-note weighted scaled hammer-action keyboard makes it an ideal controller keyboard for using with music software applications. The USB connection even allows you to move songs to and from the computer into Privia PX-160's flash ROM, so you can save songs you've created.
