New technology rivals sound quality of a fine grand piano.
Casio has applied its advanced electronics technology to develop the HL (Highly-compressed Large-waveform) Sound Source, an innovative new sound source chip that delivers sound quality rivaling that of a fine grand piano. The development process started by taking stereo samples of a world-class concert grand piano and storing the resulting sample waveforms in Privia's memory. Separate waveforms are used for strong keyboard pressure and light keyboard pressure, providing a full range of expression, from lilting pianissimos to thundering fortissimos. Sound is further enhanced by a pair of semi-custom speakers to ensure optimum sound quality throughout the full 88 key range.
New scaled hammer action keyboard designed to capture the touch of a grand piano.
Privia's new hammer action keyboard has been based on a detailed analysis of the dynamic characteristics of a concert grand piano keyboard. The mechanics of Privia's keyboard have been carefully engineered to capture the finest nuances of touch and feel. This innovative new keyboard does not use springs, so that keys react naturally to even slight changes in key pressure for virtually unlimited expressivity. The hammer action of the keyboard has been "scaled," which means that lower range keys feel heavier, while keys in the higher range feel lighter, just like the keys of an acoustic grand piano.
