The Privia PX-3S is a performance-minded keyboard with an 88-key scaled weighted scaled hammer action keyboard withe 250 digital tones, SD card storage, and USB MIDI connectivity. It's a pro-level digital stage piano controller with all the sounds and MIDI capabilities a serious player like you needs for studio work and gigging. At an impossible-to-believe 23.8 pounds, the PX-3S offers full-sound editing, must-have effects like a dial-in rotary speaker for B-3's, and assignable MIDI controls.

The PX-3S sounds and feels like your playing a real acoustic piano. Four dynamic levels of stereo piano samples are integrated with Casio' proprietary Linear Morphing System, for a grand piano sound with seamless transitions and a superior dynamic range. For added realism, the PX-3S simulates the sound of open strings when the dampers are raised by the pedal using Acoustic Resonance DSP.

Designed to be the heart of your performance rig, Its controller features allow you to control two upper and two lower zones. Each zone can be one of the PX-3S' sounds, control an external MIDI device, or both simultaneously. The PX-3S' internal tones can be customized to meet your needs with 64 insert effects (all editable), adjustable filters, envelopes and more. All of your changes can be stored and instantly recalled from the PX-3S' 64 registration locations.

The PX-3S features a new Ivory Touch, Tri-Sensor 88-note scaled hammer action keyboard. Casio' 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 of a piano without sacrificing the portability of the instrument.

To complete its real piano experience, the PX-3S features 128 notes of polyphony, enough horsepower to handle the most demanding musical passages, and the ability to layer sounds and use the damper pedal without worry of dropped notes. In addition, the PX-3S can connect effortlessly to your computer via USB without the need to install drivers.
