Incredible accuracy

The Casio AP 470 features Casio's Tri-Sensor Scaled Hammer Action II keyboard. Thoughtfully designed to deliver the most natural and authentic playing experience, the AP 470 is meticulously engineered to recreate the weight, touch, and resistance of a grand piano.

The digital piano is made with simulated Ebony and Ivory textured keys, replicating the touch and playability of an acoustic grand piano. And thanks to the all-new tri-sensor system, you can accurately capture the tonal character of your performance with the AP 470. Casio's AP 470 allows you to perform with total depth, character, and strength.

External Connectivity

For quiet listening, the AP 470 now has two headphone outputs which are located on the front of the instrument. For those who are performing with other amplification, the AP 470 also features 1/4" left and right line outputs on the rear panel. The AP 470 continues Casio's tradition of providing "class compliant" USB connectivity on Celviano digital pianos. This enables the AP 470 to be used with Mac or Windows computers without the need for downloading drivers. Class Compliant USB MIDI also enables the AP 470 to be used as a controller with the Apple iPad simply with the use of Apple's Camera Connection Kit.
