Casio CDP-S100BKC5 Full Weighted Hammer Action Digital Piano

Product Information

With the new PX-S and CDP-S line of keyboards, Casio has added a new key action to the mix, and it’s different than the trusted Casio Tri Sensor Hammer Action found on the previous Privia line of digital pianos. The CDP-S100 feature set seems perfect, in that it also has an AUX port for connecting a music source to play along with. Casio’s WU-BT10 Wireless MIDI and Audio Adaptor (sold separately) enables a smartphone or tablet to be connected wirelessly to the piano. While it works well for practice purposes (and the CDP-S100 does not support half dampering), beginners should use the full-sized pedals that emulate the feel of those on real keyboards.

They come anyway and do sound really good on this model, so why not give them a try if you get the chance and let me know. I’ve got custom artwork on these from Half Sumo Collective… I hope you guys dig them as much as I do.Key combinations may seem complicated, but they do make the front panel a lot less cluttered, which is understandable since there aren’t too many features requiring dedicated buttons. Clearly, these grubby marks will come off, but if you are planning on moving around your new white piano a lot, you may want to consider opting for black instead. The CDP-S100 uses an updated version of the AHL sound engine from previous keyboards, delivering up to 4x higher-res stereo audio compared to the previous sound engine.

Although those apps do provide some additional functionality, their main purpose is to make navigating the instrument easier. Low-cost digital pianos like our two featured models usually come with basic accessories: an adaptor, plastic damper pedal, and a music stand. This method involves capturing sound – recording the notes of various acoustic instruments and enhancing these to be ‘played back’ on the piano. The looped sustain thing is something you often find on lower-end models, but with each new model that becomes less obvious. Another example of polyphony consumption is when you’re playing along with a song playback (can also be your own recorded performance) or auto-accompaniment.It’s not a huge deal for some, but the fact that the music stand of the CDP S100 is straightforward to attach and remove is an enormous plus for me. I have a massive passion for anything that makes a sound, in particular guitars, pianos and recording equipment.
