■Unique Acoustic Design for Creating Realistic Natural Sound
The AP-300 incorporates the same core principles of our high-end Grandphonic Sound System to achieve the realistic, natural sound of a grand piano. The sound is designed to disperse from the speakers and reflect off optimized materials that have been placed at optimized angles within the cabinet, which creates a rich and immersive audio experience. The AP-S200 combines this advanced acoustic concept along with its unique open design and slim profile.
■Beautiful Grand Piano Tones with Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source
The Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source produces the expressive power of a grand piano, with tones that change depending on the playing style and the passage of time. This perfectly captures the seamless transition of sound from the moment it is played until it fades away, including changes in the volume and tone. This sound source faithfully produces the rich, beautiful tone of a historic grand piano.
■Realistic Touch with Compact Smart Scaled Hammer Action
The Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard produces the natural touch and feel of a grand piano. The action mechanism is based on the weight of the hammers and changes the level of touch sensitivity according to how strongly the keys are played. The key response is digitally simulated and meticulously designed for each key, which provides a highly realistic playing experience.
■CASIO MUSIC SPACE App for Easy Access to Piano Settings
By utilizing the included WU-BT10 Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor, you can connect the piano to your smart device via a Bluetooth® connection and easily adjust tones and settings such as the keyboard’s touch response, by using the dedicated CASIO MUSIC SPACE app. You can also play along to built-in orchestral tracks or use the piano as a Bluetooth® speaker so you can play your favorite songs while performing at the same time.
