Summer NAMM 2005: Casio AP45 Video
September 11, 2006
Summer NAMM 2005: The piano has come a long way since the days of powdered wigs and hand-scribbled
music notation, and the Casio AP45 would definitely get a raised eyebrow from the likes of
Beethoven. This digital cabinet piano has a traditional look, 88 keys,
16 tones, and a two track sequencer. Imagine what Ludwig Van B. would do with that!
One feature Casio is quite pleased with is the AP45's proprietary keyboard action,
which the Casio rep says makes for a lower price tag. The AP45 was introduced
as the replacement for the AP38, and this model's ZPI sound
source will interest ivory ticklers yearning for a grand piano sound . . . Elton
John, anyone?

Story Transcription:
SPEAKER: This is the AP45. This is Casio's best-selling digital cabinet piano. It's replacing the AP38, which you guys are fairly familiar with. It's got 16 tones. It's got a two-track 8,000-note sequencer, brand new Z chip which sounds incredible. With a -12 dB time variant filter, it sounds incredible.
It also sports Casio's brand-new proprietary action. Most companies source their action which allows products to be a little more expensive than they need to be. We manufacture our own; it helps us keep the costs down, allows us to come up with a great quality and value for the dollar so go for it.
