Versatile enough for home, church, school or on stage.

Realism, Expression and Dynamics
The grand piano sounds in the PX-130 delivers an unprecedented level of realism and expression. Four dynamic layers of stereo piano samples are integrated with Casio’s proprietary Linear Morphing System, resulting in a grand piano sound with seamless transitions and a superior dynamic range. For added realism, the PX-130 simulates the sound of the open strings when the dampers are raised by the pedal using Acoustic Resonance DSP. The PX-130 also has 128-note polyphony, enough horsepower for the most demanding musical passages and the ability to layer sounds and use the damper pedal without worry of dropped notes. The result is a grand piano experience that is unmatched at any price.

Expressive Touch
The Privia PX-130 features a new Tri-Sensor 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard. Casio’s superior engineering has resulted in an authentic piano touch that captures every detail and nuance of your performance. This scaled hammer action provides the weight, feel and resistance without sacrificing the portability of the instrument.

Education Features
In addition to the superior keyboard action and piano sound, the PX-130 is the perfect instrument for music education. Featuring Casio’s Duet mode, the keyboard can be split into two equal ranges, allowing student and teacher to play at the keyboard simultaneously. The PX-130′s built-in 2 track recorder and metronome allows you to practice any tempo and later listen back to what you just played. The recording features can also be used to capture moments of creativity and remember song ideas. The optional SP-32 pedal board simulates an acoustic grand piano by providing all three pedals – soft, sostenuto and damper.

Connect and Create
It’s easy to connect the PX-130 to your computer with its built in USB MIDI interface. The PX-130′s 88-note weighted scaled hammer action keyboard makes it an ideal controller keyboard for using with music software applications.

Product Review

The PX-130 is a fully weighted keyboard. For those that don’t know, there are semi-weighted and fully weighted. The fully weighted keyboards feel most like a real piano. When purchasing, I compared this with the Yamaha in the same price range. The Yamaha YPG-535 is only semi-weighted and contains more voice options. Since the real piano feel was more important, I chose the PX130.

It feels sturdy and the keys feel well made. I can see why others may complain about the headset jacks. They are plastic but you would have to be pretty tough with them to break them.

The AC adapter is included. A sustain pedal is included but I purchased the m-audio sustain pedal instead.

The included voices are okay. Not the best, not the worst. The same with the speakers. Your not going to fill a room with this device.

I connected it to a MacBook Pro with Alicia’s Keys software for a more realistic sound. The Midi connection over USB was easy. I did not have to install drivers. If you want a very sweet sound, spend a little more and get this software package.
