- The PX-S3100's Smart Scaled Hammer-Action Keybed with the company's proprietary key-scaling system reproduces the individual characteristics of each of its 88 keys, which are heavier in the lower range and become lighter as the player ascends the instrument—just like an acoustic piano. Combining this with simulated ebony/ivory key textures, which prevent slippage caused by perspiration and give players a more tactile experience, the PX-S3100 delivers an authentic piano touch designed to be a source of inspiration.
- Listen closely to the German concert grand piano sound with newly enhanced string and damper resonances, and you'll hear the complex harmonics that bloom from inside the body of an acoustic piano along with mechanical sounds of dampers rising, keys being pressed, and keys returning to their original position. Hammer response and key-off simulation deliver greater detail, reacting naturally to playing dynamics. In addition, Casio has upgraded the speakers and their enclosures with newer materials. The result is a wider dynamic range and a more natural sound that is much clearer throughout the volume range.
- With 192-note polyphony, the piano handles complex performances without cutting off notes.
- Weighing at 25 lb, the PX-S3100 is a marvel in design. It retains its predecessor’s reputation for being one of the slimmest and lightest digital pianos in the world, in a stylish unibody chassis that’s barely larger than the keys themselves.
- The instrument’s display and touch-sensor controls reveal themselves only when the power button is pressed and are easy to see and use in any light. The dynamic top panel is context-aware, presenting only the controls needed at any moment, while the bright backlit LCD makes exploration a breeze. Then they all disappear when powered off, leaving only a sleek, clean, piano-like finish to admire.
- The PX-S3100 provides the all-important fun factor to keep musicians of all ages and experience levels engaged while exploring their creativity. Beyond acoustic pianos, 700 stunning tones cover electric keyboards, organs, synths, strings, brass, percussion, and more. Drum kits come alive with authentic acoustic drums, vintage drum machine sounds, and a vast collection of percussion instruments and sound effects.
- The layer function allows you to combine two sounds, while the split function lets you to assign two different sounds to low and high zones on the keyboard.
- Automatic accompaniment is on hand in the form of 200 drum rhythms or fully arranged interactive backing tracks featuring old favorites and chart-topping hits. Chord Mode allows you to play complex chord voicings with just one finger, while the Arpeggio function further expands the keyboard's versatility.
- The PX-S3100 is equipped with a pitch-bend wheel for expressive control over its many sounds plus two assignable knobs that can control its powerful built-in DSP effects and other parameters.
- Capture your ideas with the built-in 3-track MIDI recorder or audio recorder. Editable DSP effects including a hall simulator polish the sound to a studio-quality shine.
- The included WU-BT10 Bluetooth adapter adds wireless MIDI and audio capabilities, so you can stream songs from your mobile device through the piano’s powerful speaker system or explore a whole world of Bluetooth-LE-compatible MIDI devices and software.
