PRESSMEDDELANDE 20. Mars 2006
The Audience Is Listening!
CASIO at the 27th international music fair in Frankfurt
Norderstedt, March 2006 - With its young, fresh and engaged appearance at last year's music fair, CASIO was a crowd puller in 5.0. The fair booth, open top all sides, told visitors: No fear of contact please, just go ahead and give the gear a try! The karaoke events were also welcomed enthusiastically by the audience, such infotainment is widely popular. This is the starting point for CASIO in 2006. Information! Interest! Inspiration! is the motto the fair crew are adhering to. The aim: to make the CASIO booth (A48) the central drawing card in hall 5.0.

CASIO will be presenting no less than six fair novelties at the music fair and will be demonstrating sales partners and end customers the most current keyboard trends: In the beginner range beginning at 5 octaves, a new CTK model is waiting for all curious greenhorns, and three "fully refurbished" Lighting Key keyboards represent even more fun when playing with friends or family. The WK models now feature USB and SD card for uncomplicated data transfer between the PC and the Keyboard. Also with regard to IDES, the free Internet expansion to the keyboard, CASIO always has novelties to offer. Presently, brand new disco hits from the 70s can be downloaded from the CASIO music site.

The entire product range can be tested and examined from all sides at the "Tryout Stations." In the "Active Areas", the PRIVIA series and Internet expanding via IDES are presented. For this purpose, CASIO has again been able to win over two blooded musicians - when Merih Aktoprak lets her fingers stroke PX-700 and PX-310 or Markus Kuczewski shifts the virtual drawbars on the IDES keyboards, the audience will surely rave.

On stage at the centre of the CASIO booth live music will be presented four times a day. At 10 a.m., 12 noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. we will proclaim: "It's karaoke time!" Who has the courage to get up to the microphone to demonstrate his singing qualities? Karaoke entertainer Ralph Maten (CASIO) knows how to enthral his audience ... Afterwards, the digital pianos from the PRIVIA range and the IDES software will be filling the stage alternately – here the public will again be confronted not with a dry presentation but with a musically vivid demonstration containing numerous sound examples. On public Saturday then the highlight: CASIO seeks the karaoke star! The jury – competently supported by artists and producer Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen – will then choose the best voice of the nine candidates determined at the pre-castings. Great prizes – a karaoke keyboard and a studio session with Uwe Fahrenkrog-Peterson, for instance – make the singing contest on the CASIO stage a must for all vocal aficionados. "Live for the music" – at the CASIO booth, the motto of the fair is filled with life.
