Casio LK-270

Children and young people need someone to point them in the right direction – then they enjoy embarking on new adventures and setting out on their own path. The LK-270 shows them the magic of music with 61 dynamic touch illuminated keys. The unrivalled range of functions – from the new step-up learning system and SD card slot for playing new practice tracks, right through to the high-quality AHL sound features – the keyboard with illuminated keys offers users maximum support while learning to play. Additional learning material: sequencer recordings (6 tracks/5 songs), sampling function (10 seconds), song expansion (10 x SMF/ 320 KB), digital effects (10 reverb, 5 chorus, auto harmonizer, arpeggiator), rhythm editor and much more. Illuminated key learning system: The 61 illuminated keys of the LK-270 act as your guide to a wide range of songs and support the principal of "Learning by playing". Just like traditional piano lessons, the practice piece is divided into individual bar sections and learnt step-by-step 570 AHL tones: The high-quality 570 AHL tones create clear and dynamic sounds, which unfold in all sounds and rhythms found in classical piano pieces, as well as many other genres. 48-note polyphony: Sound diversity at its best: the LK-270 can play up to 48 voices at the same time, turning interpretation of a wide range of musical pieces into a pure pleasure. 180 rhythms: provide you with a colourful overview of the world of music. 152 rhythms (+10 user): 152 pre-set rhythms offer a varied range spanning throughout the world of music. 10 can be added optionally by you. Sampling function: A feature with fun factor: the simple sampling of sounds via an external sound source such as MP3 and CD players (via Audio-in) or microphone (via Mic-in) offers interesting effects and amusing compositions. Whether a bar of your favourite musical piece, loops or drum sounds, human voices or noises of any kind – the recorded samples (up to 10 seconds) can be played via the keyboard and effects added as desired. Arpeggiator: With the arpeggiator, a chord played on the keyboard is divided into a sequence of individual notes repeated in succession. Perfect for all dance or electro styles! Music Preset: The "Music Preset Library" contains 305 "one touch settings" based on popular rock and pop songs. The useful pre-settings for rhythm, tone, tempo, effects etc. makes time-consuming searches for the right settings a thing of the past. This assistant makes playing the "top 300" child's play! Rhythm editor: Pop rhythm with a touch of jazz, jazz rhythm with a shot of pop: with the rhythm editor, elements from different rhythms can be combined and edited. 10 user slots are available for individual style editing. Music Challenge: This practice is fun and exercises your mind too: Music Challenge is a play function where the player has to hit the illuminated keys as fast as possible. On keyboards without illuminated keys, musicians can play via the large LC display: The aim of the game is to hit the correct keys as quickly as possible. Scale tuning: The scale tuning functions open up a whole new world of oriental quarter tones and the tempering of baroque or classical music. SD card slot: The innovative SD memory medium offers a simple means of expanding the internal song memory of the LK-270 to limitless levels. USB Plug & Play/Song expansion: The USB/MIDI (GM) connection enables further Midfile songs to be loaded into the internal memory via the "Song expansion". The memory capacity is 320 KB, enabling up to 10 songs to be saved. No software installation from a CD-ROM required thanks to Plug & Play and the USB driver is compatible with both Mac and Windows (from Mac OSX 10.03 and Windows XP/Vista). Audio input: Play or sing along – a solution for the future: connect a CD or MP3 player to the Audio input of your LK-270. Your favourite tunes are played via the loudspeakers of the keyboard in "half playback" – you can play along for the keyboard part. A good alternative to MIDI playback, particularly if you don't want to edit the song. Microphone input (Mic-in): Simply plug in and get singing: The LK-270 has a practical microphone input facility that allows users to sing along to a selection of songs or make recordings using the sampling function. The microphone is included with the keyboard. Headphone connection: Peaceful enjoyment: the LK-270 comes equipped with a headphone connection. Loudspeaker system: The system featuring two loudspeakers and a power of two times 2.5 Watts produces an impressive and balanced sound.
