This selection of new instruments, synths and generators illustrates that music technology is always on the move, with endless potential for innovation from both established players and new start-ups. Casio’s Privia range of digital pianos has long been a benchmark for authenticity and playability. The latest model from the Japanese manufacturer is this, the PX-S7000HM.
With built-in Bluetooth MIDI and audio, as well as a microphone input, the piano is ably equipped for every situation – it can even be battery-powered. The integral stand and pedals are fuss-free and modern, while there are new materials and touch-panel controls, offering access to 400 sounds and audio recording. Spruce and plastic resin construction gives the keys an authentic weight and feel.
