Product Information

If you’re just looking for something to hit a few notes on Ableton or other music production software then 25-keys might even be enough. Tuning function (aka Fine Tuning, Master Tuning) allows you to shift the pitch from the standard A440 tuning in 0. However, there is certainly a minimum viable size for people who want to learn how to play piano to a good standard. A 25-key keyboard or even a 49-key model might look like a good space-saving option, but you may find that it is extremely limiting when you start to play more complex melodies and songs.

First of all, many of today’s digital pianos use stereo samples, which sometimes require two notes for each key played.Another unique feature of the PX-S1100 is an Audio in port, which allows you to stream your favorite songs and backing tracks from your phone or tablet to the keyboard’s internal speakers. full-size keys means that the product is not so big that it is difficult to take out and about with you.

On a 49 key keyboard, there are 5 C’s, on a 61 and 76 key keyboard there are 6 C’s, and there’s 8 on an 88 key keyboard. Pianists play with two hands so that they can play more complex passages, combining chords with a melody, bass with a melody, or bass with chords. Just like an adult trying to learn how to play the keyboard, getting a model with more than 49 keys will allow you the option to play with two hands, and therefore play far more songs.

There are actually tons of other apps that can expand the functionality of your digital piano in terms of learning, composing, recording, editing music. Just like its very successful predecessor ( P-115), this keyboard is going to be one of the most popular intermediate fully weighted keyboards on the market considering all the new features and improvements it brings over the previous release. In my opinion, these fancy marketing terms are often overhyped and not as exciting as they are advertised. You get a pitch bend wheel, real band backing tracks, over 570 separate voices, the ability to adjust the sound with a master EQ and digital effects such as reverb and even environment effects which allow you to sound like you’re playing in a concert hall or a cathedral. It’s often possible to purchase stands, seats and other accessories in bundles with beginner keyboards.

When you reach the polyphony cap, the piano starts to drop the earliest played notes to free up memory for the new ones, which affects the sound and its fullness. You can’t adequately judge how you sound when you’re actually playing, and the only way to improve is to record yourself and critique. An 88 key piano can be very heavy, and a 76 key piano is going to offer you much of the full size piano experience, without the added weight.Storage: While an option, onboard storage isn’t necessary; students can download software patches and new keyboard sounds on micro-USB cards instead. To put it simply, playing with one hand will usually sound thin and doesn’t allow you to play to a professional standard.

Hi Lucas, I’d appreciate your point of view, as I’m considering getting a digital piano to start learning on as a beginner) and I’ve singled out Roland FP30 and Casio PX-S1000 as the most appealing choices within my budget. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your musical talents or compose your next masterpiece, we have something for everyone. The Piaggero can come with you to band practice, and unless you’re regularly playing Beethoven concertos (or other classical music) then you won’t find the 76-key design limiting. Some digital pianos come with a simulated Ivory (white keys) and Ebony (black keys) key surfaces, which gives them a nice textured feel, helps absorb excessive moisture and prevents your fingers from slipping off the keys.

The cheapest keyboard brands (those found in big-box retailers) often have smaller keys than their higher-quality counterparts. If you want a model that allows you comfortably enough space to learn how to play with two hands, this size could be your answer. Once you learn how to play, you’ll know exactly where you are on every piano or keyboard because of the repeating pattern. So the distance between C and C-Sharp is one semitone, the distance between D and D-Sharp is one semitone and the same can be said for the distance between A and A-flat. You wouldn’t find more unique and innovative keyboards than the new Casio PX-S1100, and its bigger brother, the PX-S3100.
