Natural Feel and Piano Response
Three sensors are installed to match a grand piano’s keyboard action.
The period of time between a keystroke being detected and the sounding
response occuring is controlled by the strength of the keystroke. Sounding
occurs when playing ends.
When striking a key, three sensors detect the action sequentially.
Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action
Keyboard II means unique grand
piano timing and sound (Fig 1).
The difference between the sound
structures of a grand piano and a
digital piano often centres upon
the difference in timing. The
new Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer
Action Keyboard II responds by
incorporating a system with three
sensors that detect keystrokes
sequentially. This ensures meticulous
variations in the detection time of a
keystroke and sound production,
as well as enabling a sound to be
produced continuously, even when
the key has not fully returned to its
resting position, a feature assuring
excellent playability when the same
note is struck repeatedly.
2. Hammer Response
Hammer Response reproduces
accurate sound-timing balance (Fig 2).
The size of the hammers differ among
the various key blocks in a grand piano.
The sound timing consequently varies
subtly, even when keys are struck
with the same strength. The new
Casio piano keyboard system carefully
reproduces these differences in sound-
production timing and force from one
register to another.
3. Key Off Simulator
Key Off Simulator* reproduces the tonal
variations resulting from finger release
(Fig 3a, 3b).
The lengths of the reverberations and
expressions a piano produces vary
depending on the speed at which
players release their fingers after
touching the keys. The new keyboard
system incorporates a Key Off
Simulator that naturally reproduces
these nuances resulting from key
release. As a result, authentic
reverberations that feel just like those
of a grand piano are expressed.
