General
For some, the polished black exterior of an acoustic piano can be truly irresistible. If you count yourself among them, thank your lucky stars (and Casio) for the Casio GP-500BP, a gorgeous digital piano that features the same shiny black finish. Not only does this chic instrument have the looks, it also has the feel of an acoustic model. Its keys are made of wood, and use a special mechanism to ensure a life-like piano experience. When it comes to digital pianos, the GP-500BP is a good addition to anyone's wish list!
Characteristics of the Casio GP-500BP
For sound inspiration, Casio turned to the best possible grand pianos, and after elaborate testing and evaluation, they came up with the technology to reproduce their respective sounds. Are you fond of playing complex piano parts with a pressed-down sustain pedal? The GP-500BP is up for it, and won't drop any notes thanks to its 256-voice polyphony. Additionally, the digital piano's keyboard offers three different playing modes. Layer mode allows you to layer various sounds, which is great if you like to get creative with timbre. Split mode divides the keyboard into two halves, each with its own sound. Duet mode, finally, is ideal for piano lessons, as it divides the keyboard into two halves with the same tonal range, allowing teacher and student to sit and play alongside each other.
Additional Possibilities
Casio has gone to great lengths to keep the sound of the GP-500BP as authentic as possible. Typical factors like closed/open lid, pedal noise and key-off sounds have all been taken into account. Fancy playing in a concert hall? Simply select one of the Casio piano's beautiful reverbs, and 1194934938 you'll imagine yourself there. Would you like to capture your own performance, and maybe make a CD for your friends or family? The Casio GP-500BP allows you to record both MIDI and audio data to a USB stick.
