The Casio Casiotone LK-S450 portable keyboard makes learning to play your favorite tunes easier than ever with a Key Lighting System that illuminates the way and shows you what note to play next. The Step-Up Lesson Mode with 160 songs and exercises lets you control how quickly you move through the levels, so you can enjoy learning at your own pace from the comfort of your home.
The LK-S450 features 61 full-size keys with touch sensitivity that adds rich expression to each note you play. It employs the company's AiX Sound Source technology to accurately reproduces every nuance of more than 600 high-quality acoustic and synthesized instrument sounds including electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, drum kits—and of course a Concert Grand piano. There are 200 auto-accompaniment styles with a backing band that can play a variety of musical genres from around the world, such as pop, jazz, R&B, rock, dance, Latin, and world music to name a few. Jam with the band and use the 6-track song recorder to record your performances, and play them back later.
The built-in speakers are great for sharing your music with friends. Plug in headphones for quiet play at any time. The 3.5mm aux input enables you to connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs, while the 1/4" microphone input (with gain control) lets you connect a mic for singing along.
USB MIDI enables the keyboard to control other instruments or allows you to connect it to your computer. Plus, you can download the free Chordana App on your iOS or Android smartphone/tablet to learn any MIDI file while viewing traditional notation, a special visual piano display, or both. A separate USB-A port is available for the optional WU-BT10 Bluetooth MIDI/audio adapter, which enables you to connect wirelessly to other devices and control them via MIDI, or so you can use the LK-S450 as a Bluetooth speaker. This port can also be used to connect an external flash drive.
A tablet-ready music rest and an AC adapter are included, but the keyboard can also run on six AA batteries (available separately) and hang on a strap for truly mobile operation.
- Perfect for any level, the LK-S450 is your own personal teacher with its Key Lighting System guiding you through each piece by illuminating the keys in sequence. Play along to any of the 160 built-in songs with ease. Slow the tempo to help you practice or learn melodies individually by selecting left-hand or right-hand parts only. The LK-S450 will act as your other hand.
- The LK-S450's 200 full-accompaniment Rhythms make it a perfect jamming partner. Simply play a few notes, and it will create an entire backing band that reacts effortlessly to the way you play—with vibrant acoustic drums, vintage drum machines, global percussion instruments, rock-solid basslines, horn ensembles, rhythm guitars, and so much more. You have the freedom to change the key and tempo, or turn your favorite music into a backing track with the Cancel Melody or Cancel Accompaniments functions.
- Connect your phone/tablet or music player to the aux input and play along with your favorite music.
- If Karaoke is more your style, plug in a mic and sing along to one of the built-in songs.
- Play music from your smartphone or tablet though the keyboard's speakers with the Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor WU-BT10 (available separately).
- Entertain yourself with a tune by playing along with the piano roll.
- With the free Chordana Play app for iOS/Android, you can also learn to play any MIDI file using standard notation, a Piano-Hero-style display, or both.
- Horizontal Bass Reflex technology combined with custom speakers and surround-sound function produce powerful and vivid sounds with a deep resonance unexpected from such a compact keyboard. To ensure consistent audio quality, the Volume-Sync EQ function automatically adjusts the bass and treble balance, achieving a clear and energetic sound at any volume.
