WK-210

WK-210

Overview

Embark on a musical journey

For creative players, the WK-210 is an endless source of inspiration: The new Voice Pad function enables not only voice samples but also other effects and sounds to be played back using the pads. It is also very easy to connect an MP3 player, microphone and a PC to the instrument. The keyboard not only offers a wealth of sound diversity, rendered effectively via the AHL sound chip, but also a vast array of timbres (570) and rhythms (180) and even has a number of treats for fans of eccentric beats, as the scale tuning functions open up a whole new world of oriental quarter tones or the classical tempering of baroque music.

570 AHL tones

48-note polyphony

48-note polyphonySound diversity at its best: the WK-210 can play up to 48 voices at the same time, turning interpretation of a wide range of musical pieces into a pure pleasure.

Step-Up-Lernsystem

Step-Up-Lernsystem The improved step-up learning system from CASIO is based on the principal "learning by playing": as in traditional piano lessons, the practice piece is split up into individual bar sections and learnt step-by-step. The small learning units guarantee motivation and learning success.

» Step 1: Listen
» Step 2: See and repeat with visual support
» Step 3: Remember and play without help

When the "Auto" mode is switched on, a set practice goal must be reached before the next bar section is displayed. With the "Next" mode you can set your own learning speed.
