You can find a variety of 18 different sounds to play with included in this Casio Privia PX-160 piano. You may find ones better than others but it’s still more than most of pianos of this price features. You can also hook up pedals to improve your playing. Some of the audio samples you can select are from harpsichords, electric pianos, organs and bass sounds. All of these sounds have been beautifully crafted and are surprisingly high quality.
You can set the piano to 4 different modes or piano sounds: classic, modern, bright and concert. Whatever suits your needs.
In regard to the effects, in the Casio PX-160 you can select from chorus effect to concert hall reverb and brilliance adjuster. Some users think is not that much but it seems compensated by the overall sound quality of the piano.
There are three great features on this keyboard that you must know about before making a decision.
Built-in Metronome – I think one of the most important aspects of being a good musician is having a good time. This keyboard has a built-in metronome, which you can use with the internal speaker to keep your counting in check while you practice scales and arpeggios. The metronome is fully adjustable, meaning you can adjust both the volume and the rate .
Transpose – Did the singer call a tune in a different key but your not the best at on the fly transposing? This is s common issue as seen in this
Casio Privia PX 160 review . The transpose button allows you to change the key you are playing in with the press of a button. You can also tune the piano in tiny increments to match an out of tune recording or backing track.
Layer Sounds – Add to the lush sounds of the piano when performing or recording using Dual Mode, which allows you to stack two presets. My personal favorite is to stack the grand piano sound with the strings, giving you a lush and rich sound perfect for playing ballads. Do you just want to accent the sound you are using? You can also adjust the volume of each sound being layered individually.
