AHL Sound Source and 48-Note Polyphony

The Casio CDP 230R comes readily equipped with Acoustic and Highly-Compressed Large-Waveform (AHL). When coupled with the authentic to touch Scaled Hammer Action, it brings the sound of the digital CDP 230R closer to that of an acoustic piano, and delivers more texture and depth with every keystroke. Also included is the polyphony, which will which can create up to 48 notes simultaneously; a significant advantage when playing at a higher level, or just as a way to experiment.

Tones, Songs and Rhythms

Up to 700 separate tones are stored within the CDP 230R, making the possibilities endless to expand variation in a performance. The effect of a full band can also be achieved at the touch of a button with the CDP 230R’s Auto Accompaniment feature, producing all the chords and supplementary harmonies you need to easily build the layers of a performance. Further, there are 200 pre-set rhythms that can act as a full musical accompaniment, and 152 stored songs to either play along with or simply just listen to.

Music Effects

The CDP 230R is packed with features to help create the most original music possible. Reverb and Chorus are present to embed each keystroke on the timbre with classic effects. The Layer function can allow you to layer two tones alongside one another, resulting in the perfect accompaniment to slower performances. The Split effect can then divide the CDP 230R into two separate instruments, meaning the player can control two effects with either hand. This shows the amount of variety and variability available to create a truly unique performance.

Powerful Lesson Functions

The Step Up Lesson feature on the CDP 230R is an effective way of learning how to master songs. The feature allows the player to listen to the desired phrase, play it with assistance via the LCD screen, and then perform it on their own. The CDP 230R will then evaluate the performance, and can even give assistance by calling out finger numbers. This means effective learning, anytime, making the CDP 230R perfect for both beginners and more intermediate players.
