We can only make our dreams come true if we decide to awaken out of them.

This quotation by French singer and dancer Josephine Baker (1906-75) is here meant to encourage all key players to make their

dreams be they large, be they small come true. Choosing the right instrument is the first important step on the way.

In our current product catalogue you will find 25 key instruments and 2 electronic drums. In all models, the prominent know how of

CASIO as a highly successful producer of digital pianos and keyboards is concentrated. We have structured our catalogue in the fol-

lowing manner in order for you to find your instrument comfortably:

Whereas the keyboard derives from the organ, the digital pianois modeled upon the piano. Just like a piano, it features a key-board with 88 keys, integrated scaled hammer mechanics crea-te an absolutely genuine feel while playing.Hence, the acoustic original is not only copied best possible withregard to touch but also with respect to sound emulation quali-ty. Employing highly modern sampling techniques, piano soundscan today be designed which can easily pass a comparison withthe most beautiful grand piano sounds with regard to their natu-ral and special sound properties.CASIO digital pianos have since years been setting the standardsin the areas of touch and sound. They thereby prove themselvesto be top-notch electronic instruments, which give their ownerspleasure for a long time. The current range comprises three inde-pendent series, within which different models stand to choose

from. With this concept, CASIO can satisfy most diversedemands. So which piano series will be able to catch your ear?

CELVIANO: Ageless home pianos who also perfectly quotetheir classical examples visually. The ideal instrument for allthose seeking a genuine alternative to the acoustic piano.

STYLEPIANO: Those seeking a trendsetting digital piano forhome will love this series. Cutting edge technology in an adequa-te outfit.

PRIVIA: The newest development by CASIO. A new class ofdigital pianos with a compact design, clear sound, completeequipment. And the prices are beyond competition.

Naturally Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard

WELCOME TO KEYS AND TRENDS

Part 1: Digital Pianos (pages 0309)Those who love classical music and especially wish to play piano music usually settle for a modern

digital piano. It has 88 keys and a scaled hammer-action keyboard. Several dynamic levels allow

for differentiated play and make every interpretation come alive.

Part 2: Keyboards (pages 1017)Because of their multitude of sounds and the built-in accompaniments they feature, keyboards are

interesting for all those who wish to play music in the most diverse compositions and styles. Be

it with a complete band for accompaniment or as a solo player, be it country music or samba the

possibilities are virtually limitless.

Part 3: Key lighting instruments (pages 1825)For them, who wish to achieve first learning successes on their own, lighting guide keyboards are

the prime solution. The basic idea behind the visual learning systems is learning by playing, the

player simply follows the lighting keys, thereby feeling his way to melody and rhythm step by step.

LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3

Whenever the expression Lighting Guide is dropped, everyone automatically thinks of

CASIO after all, hardly any other supplier can boast a competence equal to ours in the

field of visual lesson systems. The principle of colourfully lighting keys was introduced

by CASIO in 1996 and has continuously been improved since, time and again setting

the standards in the music market. Currently with LK-90TV. The instrument can be con-

nected to a television screen via a video line and the scores awarded by the interactive

lesson system are easily to be read from the TV screen.

With the lighting guide educational system, CASIO addresses beginners and returnees,

who wish to accomplish their first progress on their own. The 3-level, educationally

tested design of the visual lesson system spells fast success. Simply select a rehearsal

song from the song bank and off you go: The instrument explains itself while you play it!

INTELLIGENTLESSON SYSTEMS

Many of the lighting guide instrumentsmade by CASIO have an extra sing-alongfunction. By activating the Sing Alongbutton, the volume of the melody is redu-ced to facilitate vocal accompaniment. Inthis manner, playing and singing skills aretrained alike.

LEVEL 1: Rehearsal of time and tempo

At the first level, the player follows themelody which is indicated by the lightingkeys. Even if the wrong key is pressed,the right note will sound. Thus, the playercan concentrate fully on the rhythm.

LEVEL 2: Learning the right key succession

Here the player must play the right key forthe melody. Help comes from the displayor the voice fingering guide. The accompa-niment will wait, until the right key is hit.

LEVEL 3: Playing normal speed

On level 3, the student is the solo playerand must play freely together with theperfect accompaniment. He is supportedby the lighting keys, which show themelody succession in original tempo.

As a special extra, every AL-100R is deliver-

ed with the CASIO book for Light Guided

Learning. This practical lesson collection

conveys musical theory, playing technique

and instrument operation in a straightfor-

ward manner. By combining simple rehear-

sal songs and exercises with the educatio-

nally tested lesson steps of

the lighting guide techno-

logy, beginners and retur-

nees learn how to play

the piano autodidacti-

cally from the very

beginning on a top-

notch instrument.

Light Guided Learning AL100-R is an ensemble piano in a class of its own;its acoustic and haptic properties interpret the clas-sic original close to perfectly. The top model of theCELVIANO series bundles up the know how CASIOhas acquired in the field of lighting guide education.Each of the 88 scaled keys can additionally light redor yellow. The player follows the light signals withthe fingers of his right or left hand, thus learninghow to play by and by. Beside the three lessonlevels, three different arrangement levels can bechosen for many of the 80 tunes. Depending uponproficiency, the songs are played in differentdegrees of difficulty. Additional playing aides suchas the hand position guide, the on-screen fingeringguide or the voice fingering guide support the prac-tice of fingerings and hand position. AL-100R sim-ply a landmark and beyond competition. The topfeatures in short: 88 scaled lighting keys (hammer

ZPI-Sound-ChipZPI (Zygotech Polynominal Interpolation) soundgeneration produces realistic sounds as clearas glass. This sound quality is producedthanks to optimized data compression andwave form reproduction. The wave form pro-duction through polynominal extrapolation isbased upon a new calculus, which smoothensthe leaps and edges between the samplepoints in the digital-analogue converter. In thismanner, an undistorted and even more harmo-nic sound characteristic is achieved.

HL Dual Elements Soundchip The new HL Dual Elements sound chip (Highlycompressed Large-waveform) offers amazinglyrealistic sounds: The optimization of the sam-ples through HL technology offers excellentsound dynamics; depending upon the strengthof the stroke, different piano samples are play-ed, and also string resonance was realized per-fectly.
