Casio CDP-S360BK

The Casio CDP-S360BK is a compact and versatile 88-key digital piano, designed to combine an authentic piano feel with a wide range of sounds and advanced accompaniment features. At just 232 mm deep and weighing 10.9 kg, it fits easily into any home while remaining light enough to be transported to rehearsals, lessons, or on stage.

Its 88-key Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard II reproduces the feel of an acoustic piano thanks to a scaled hammer action mechanism. Three sensitivity levels allow you to adjust the keyboard’s response to your playing style, while the textured finish on the keys enhances comfort during long playing sessions.

The CDP-S360BK features 700 tones and a maximum polyphony of 128 notes, offering a wide selection of pianos, organs, harpsichords, strings, winds, percussion, and other instruments. The Layer and Split functions allow you to layer two sounds or divide the keyboard into multiple zones.

The instrument also features 200 accompaniment rhythms, automatic accompaniment functions, 310 Music Presets, a 100-type arpeggiator, automatic harmonization, and 32 registrations for quickly saving different playing configurations.

The CDP-S360 features 152 built-in songs, including 50 practice phrases, as well as a function that allows you to practice the right hand, left hand, or both hands separately. Its backlit LCD screen makes navigation simple and intuitive.

A 6-track MIDI recorder lets you save up to 5 songs, with approximately 12,000 notes per song. This allows you to record different parts separately, work on your arrangements, or analyze your playing.

For added expressiveness, the CDP-S360BK also features a pitch bend wheel, which is particularly useful for guitar, synthesizer, and wind instrument sounds.

Connectivity options include USB Type A and Type B ports, an audio input, a headphone/audio output, a pedal input, and a dedicated connector for a three-pedal unit. The piano is compatible with the SP-34 pedal unit and the CS-470P cabinet, both of which are available as optional accessories. The half-pedal function is supported with a compatible pedalboard.

Bluetooth Audio and MIDI are available with the optional WU-BT10 adapter. The CDP-S360 is also compatible with the CASIO MUSIC SPACE app, which allows you to control certain settings from a smartphone or tablet and access various educational and musical features.

Its built-in audio system features two 13 x 7 cm oval speakers powered by an 8 W + 8 W amplifier. The piano can be powered by AC or six AA batteries, providing up to approximately 4 hours of battery life.

With its hammer-action keys, 700 sounds, automatic accompaniment, and very compact design, the Casio CDP-S360BK is a particularly comprehensive solution for pianists seeking both the feel of a digital piano and the versatility of an arranger keyboard.
