ACOUSTIC INTELLIGENT RESONATOR
Even temporal tonal changes
are reproduced naturally
*AiR = Acoustic and Intelligent Resonator
One of the chief attractions of the
acoustic piano is its ability to produce
countless subtle changes in tonal
reverberation in response to delicate
adjustments of the pianist’s touch.
CASIO’s remarkable Acoustic and
Intelligent Resonator (AiR) sound source
faithfully reproduces these nuanced
tonal variations unique to the piano.
Not only the lingering reverberation
from the time the sound starts until it
expires, but also the rich resonance of
strings reverberating together can be
reproduced depending on the force
with which the keys are struck.
CASIO digital pianos enable pianists
to play the same piece of music in
innumerable styles, depending on
their intended effect. Although digital,
the pianos’ expressive power is on
a par with that of acoustic pianos.
The optimal resonance produced by
innovative LSI technologies proprietary
to CASIO will win the hearts of piano
lovers everywhere.
The characteristics of CASIO’s newly
developed Multi-Dimensional Morphing
AiR* Sound Source are demonstrated
through attention to detail in expressing
the rich, resonating tones inherent to
a piano.
The temporal changes in tone that
create sound you would expect only
from a piano – beginning with the initial
sound and leading into a beautiful
extension until the sound eventually
disperses – are reproduced naturally.
Even the length of the reverberation
can be controlled at will by the player
by adjustments in touch, as with an
acoustic piano. Seamless variations
that respond continuously to the power
behind each stroke, not only in terms of
volume but also in terms of the nuances
of the sound itself, range from a fine
and gentle ppp (pianissimo), to
an intense and powerful fff (fortissimo).
All 88 keys incorporate a stereo
resonance simulator that realistically
reproduces the string sounds of a
grand piano.
The pleasure of listening to acoustic
changes can be obtained by opening
the grand piano-like lid installed on
high-end models (PX-860, AP-650M,
AP-460), which places a particular
focus on sound-output quality.
These developments represent an
unprecedented evolution of the digital
piano’s expressive power in the areas
of both sound and resonance

CASIO’s remarkable Multi-Dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source
provides temporal changes in tone, beginning with the initial sound and

an acoustic piano, as well as ensuring continuous responsiveness to the
power behind each stroke, ranging from a fine and gentle ppp (pianissimo),
