Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably lighter and less nuanced than a high-end digital piano, but still allows for some dynamic expression, a definite step up from non-weighted keys.
Yes, it has a pedal connection, but you'll need a compatible Casio pedal unit – it doesn’t support standard sustain pedals directly.
The recorder is fairly basic and intended for simple practice tracks; don't expect professional-level recording capabilities.
