To reproduce the sound of the finest acoustic grand pianos, the new Privia series features Casio's proprietary AiR (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) processor. Accessing more than three times the memory of the previous generation, the AiR processor utilizes grand piano samples recorded at four dynamic levels of sampling to deliver grand piano sounds with long natural decays and remarkable expression. To further the grand piano experience, AiR adds realism by simulating the sound of the open strings when the dampers are raised by the pedal.

In addition to the excellent keyboard action and piano sound, the Privia PX-850 is the perfect instrument for music education. Featuring Casio's Duet mode, the keyboard can be split into two equal ranges, allowing student and teacher to play at the keyboard simultaneously.

To hear your Privia PX-850, you have a few options. To start, the 20W quad-speaker system gives you an instant grand piano experience. Of course, you can also use the outputs to connect the PX-830 to another speaker system, such as a PA system for live performances. Finally, there's a headphone output for silent practice at any hour.

The Casio Privia PX-850's built-in 2 track recorder and metronome allows you to practice any tempo and later listen back to what you just played. The recording features can also be used to capture moments of creativity and remember song ideas. What's more, it's easy to connect the PX-850 to your computer with its built in USB MIDI interface. The PX-850's 88-note weighted scaled hammer action keyboard makes it an ideal controller keyboard for using with music software applications. The USB connection even allows you to move songs to and from the computer into Privia PX-850's flash ROM, so you can save songs you've created. You can even use the PX-850 as a controller for your iPad music apps via Apple's Camera Connection Kit.
