Incredible Sound – Three Legendary Pianos. Their individual character and tone faithfully recreated.
The Casio GP-310 Grand Hybrid Celviano reproduces even subtle nuances of the world’s most respected pianos. Three pianos that originate in Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna were chosen for this project. CASIO has painstakingly researched and analyzed the unique characteristics of each piano. CELVIANO Grand Hybrid delivers the brilliant sound of these pianos, reproduced with CASIO’s advanced technology and provides the experience of owning three of the finest pianos on Earth.
- Berlin Grand: A balanced, elegant sound; ideal for playing impressionistic music. Notable for its clear, ringing tone across the entire range.
- Hamburg Grand: A brilliant, rich sound. Loved by pianists for its wide range of expression & well suited for various playing styles and genres.
- Vienna Grand: Noted for its impressive low range. Great for both soft and vigorous playing with its warm tone and is an ideal instrument for music from the classical period.
The AiR Grand Sound Source recreates the grand piano sound experience
CASIO’s AiR (Acoustic and intelligent Resonator) Grand Sound Source is designed to meticulously convey every aspect of the grand piano sound. Smooth dynamics between soft and loud playing are made possible with CASIO’s Multi- Dimensional Morphing technology. Damper and sympathetic string resonance is also faithfully recreated. Even the mechanical sounds of the grand piano are also provided to create a deep sense of realism. Press the damper pedal, and hear the sound of the felt as it lifts away from the strings. Completing the experience, you can even adjust the lid position, which will affect the acoustics of the piano as if you had adjusted the lid on an acoustic grand piano. Closing your eyes, you will feel like sitting at a 9-foot concert grand.
The Grand Acoustic System adds new dimension to your playing
Our hearing goes beyond simply left and right, and we can detect the origin of sound from all directions. Using an exclusive six-speaker amplification system, CELVIANO Grand Hybrid recreates the three- dimensional sound field that an acoustic grand piano generates. The top speakers present sounds normally heard rising upwards. The bottom speakers facing downwards present sounds heard from below. This simulation fills the space with complex, rich sound reaching both the performer and audience. The volume can be adjusted on CELVIANO Grand Hybrid to sound even louder than its acoustic counterparts without sacrificing clarity or detail.
Linear Morphing Technology creates smooth transitions between soft and strong sound based on playing strength.
The Grand Hybrid experience goes far beyond playing piano:
Play in a legendary space
The incredible Casio GP-310 Grand Hybrid includes a Hall Simulator featuring numerous world-class performance venues. Using advanced analysis and signal processing, CASIO has recreated the acoustic characteristics of renowned concert halls, opera houses, cathedrals and other performance spaces around the world. You can instantly select one of these settings, creating an immersive atmosphere for your performance.
Play with a symphony orchestra
Playing with an orchestra is an extraordinarily thrilling event. Concert Play feature demonstrates orchestral performance for a pianist to enjoy an experience of playing as a soloist accompanied by a full orchestra. 15 pieces of music are built in. When you practice, a convenient playback function offers capabilities of play, pause, fast-forward, rewind and A-B segment repeat. Using a Slow Mode, the tempo of these pieces can be slowed to 80% of normal speed as needed.
AiR Grand Sound Source
The CELVIANO Grand Hybrid incorporates AiR Grand Sound Source, a newly developed system using CASIO’s state-of-the-art sound technologies. It includes many impressive features. Multi-dimensional Morphing delivers smooth changes between soft & strong playing. Acoustic Simulator reproduces the characteristics of sounds produced by acoustic grand pianos. The authenticity generated by the AiR Grand Sound Source ensures a pure piano experience.
Multi-dimensional Morphing
On an acoustic grand piano, the volume and quality of sounds change from the time the keys are struck until they die away. CASIO’s Multi-dimensional Morphing technology enables natural,smooth transitions in sound volume and tone based on the power of the keystroke. This technology contributes to more expressive performances.
Acoustic Simulator
Resonance System
The various types of resonance in a grand piano are crucial to the playing experience. The CELVIANO Grand Hybrid incorporates String Resonance, which exposes the harmonic relationships between various strings when keys are struck. Also Damper Resonance reproduces the resonance occurring when a damper pedal is pressed. In the case of the GP-500BP, Open String Resonance and Aliquot Resonance add realism. CASIO’s Resonance System reproduces the resonance of both the strings and sound board of a grand piano by selecting, controlling and synthesizing according to performance conditions.
Hardware Resonator
The unique, newly developed Hardware Resonator synthesizes Damper, Open String and Aliquot Resonances to reproduce distinctive, individual sounds for all the respective 88 keys.
Action Sound System
A grand piano also generates several types of mechanical sounds, which are an important part of the playing experience. CASIO has sought to provide a more realistic simulation by reproducing the sounds of these mechanisms.
Key Off Simulator
The lengths of the lingering sounds produced by a grand piano vary depending on the speed at which players release their fingers after pressing the keys. In a similar fashion, CASIO’s Key Off Simulator controls the length of these sounds based on the key’s release speed. This enables players to express delicate nuances when playing staccato and legato.
Hammer Response
The timing of a grand piano’s sound varies subtly depending on which keys are being played, even when the keys are struck with the same force. To achieve optimal authenticity, CASIO has installed appropriate settings for each of the three grand piano tones. The sound production timing can also be adjusted to suit the player.
