PX-3BK

Overview

All-round talent ready for the stage

With the limited edition PRIVIA PX-3BK stage piano, CASIO has created a fantastic gift in its anniversary year for all live musicians. The PRIVIA PX-330, which forms the basis of the new limited edition piano, is taken to the next level for the stage. High-performance master keyboard functionality turns the piano into a controller. Editable DSP effects, tone editor and new tones expand its capabilities on stage and in the studio. On top of this, the 4-band equalizer enables a wide range of tone settings. The special feature of this talent-packed piano from CASIO is its weight: since the PX-3BK was designed as a stage model without speakers, it is now extremely light at less than 11 kilos!

250 AiF tones

250 AiF tonesThe excellent AiF Sound source produces 250 top-quality tones, which truly come into their own in both classic piano repertoire and many other genres.

AiF Linear Morphing

AiF Linear Morphing The innovative AiF Sound Source technology produces top-quality tones perfectly suited to both classical piano music and other genres and enables gentle transitions between individual samples and dynamic levels. Complex stereo recordings from a top-quality concert piano (samples) with four dynamic levels provide a particularly authentic sound and allow you to play across various intermediate stages from piano to forte without any sound discolouration or audible leaps.

128-voice polyphony

128-voice polyphonyGuarantee an absolutely first-class piano sound. The expansion of the range of voices has made interpreting complex works a true pleasure and lets you play sweeping chords and make extensive use of the damper pedal.

"Tri-Sensor" scaled hammer-action keyboard
