Product description

Solo Synth Mode

• Utilizes Casio's exclusive Hybrid Processing Sound Source (HPSS)

• Monophonic lead instrument with a six oscillator design, which can be controlled in real time via four knobs and nine sliders

• Two virtual analog oscillators, two PCM oscillators, and a noise oscillator are at your fingertips. You've also got a sixth oscillator, which is external; mic and line inputs on the back of the instrument can be harnessed to function as the audio source for this sixth oscillator. Simply plug your iPod, iPhone, iPad or other device into this input, and it adds to your sound. A dedicated spot on the right-hand side of the keyboard provides space for this external gear and is large enough to fit your iPad

• 9 sliders bring the different oscillators in and out of the sound, as well as offering control for other elements, such as the noise generator. Sliders truly give you a more interactive playing experience

• Presets offer everything from bright leads to ripping basses, with deeply editable sounds you can customize to your taste

• Hundreds of waveforms give you ample choices; you can even access those from Casio's original CZ synthesizers

• Enjoy powerful tools, such as reverse key scaling on pitch, enabling you to have sounds or oscillators running in different directions

• Envelopes galore: Pitch envelopes for each oscillator, plus a master for merged sound

• Each oscillator also has an independent filter, with numerous options for filter types, as well as independent key tracking, portamento, dual LFO's and access to a master resonant filter

Numerous Sound Engines For The Performing Musician

• 400 fully editable PCM based sounds, including pianos, electric pianos, strings, brass, guitars, basses, drums, acoustic sounds mixed with synths, and a powerful drawbar organ

• Employ orchestral combination patches with velocity switch sounds, allowing you to play a string instrument and, if you hit the keys with sufficient velocity, trigger more strings, timpani and brass to accompany you

• A performance mode that enables you to produce 4 sounds simultaneously: A HexLayer, Solo Synth or drawbar organ for the first sound, with three other zones that can be populated by either internal or external sounds. Instant recall of effects, step sequences, arpeggiators and phrases

HexLayer

• Dedicated polyphonic mode featuring 6 components that join forces to make one instrument

• Stacked sounds can easily be turned into pads, and you can also blend the various elements using the 9 sliders

• Dig into complex layering, splits and additional velocity switched sounds

Drawbar Organ

• Grants you control of key percussion sounds and rotary speaker effects. Feel free to add vibrato or distortion to get the organ sound you want

13 Track Step Sequencer

• Offering everything from pulsing dance beats to animated synth textures and arpeggios, this step sequencing tool is a true original

• Boasts nine tracks for drums, basses, synths and chordal parts, as well as four controller tracks to add panning, filter changes and other animation to existing parts

• Eight patterns comprise each sequence

• You have the freedom to develop and mix your performances on the fly

• You can even transpose sequences live directly from the keyboard, for a totally immersive and interactive experience

16 Step Programmable Arpeggiator

• In addition to conventional arpeggio patterns, this tool is capable of producing polyphonic synth gated patterns and acoustic instrument emulations

• Fully programmable, enabling you to create your own distinct sounds

Phrase Sequencer
