Digital Piano Casio WK 6600 Full Review. Is it a good choice?

Casio has taken models of almost all types of existing pianos with very good results in the long run to compete with established companies such as Yamaha or Korg, today I will be reviewing the WK 6600 model which has a specific niche of professionals and combines quite interesting functions such as 100 DSP effects as well as a pitch bend wheel, in this article I will review several of the features of this model.

Features

• 76 keys with velocity sensitivity (You can adjust the volume of the note depending on how you press it. And it’s different from the weighted hammer action, which is the weight of the keys on a piano.)
• 48 notes polyphony (Number of notes that can sound at once. This includes songs that sound at once. So if you play over an accompaniment sound, more notes will accumulate.)
• 700 Sounds (Different sounds of piano and other instruments)
• 210 Styles (Accompanying styles that adapt to the chords we are playing. For example they will put a bass and a drum set that will adapt and synchronize with the notes we are playing on the keyboard.)
• 100 DSP (Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects. These are digital effects that modify the sound of the keyboard.) Effects
• Rueda de pitch bend (Functionality that changes the sound wave of what you play and then returns to its original state) Wheel
• 32 memory slots
• Common Effects: reverb (Reverberation effect which is a reflection effect of the sound), Chorus
• 100 Presets One-Touch
• 16 parts Split mode (Split the keyboard into two different instruments)
• Transposer (Transposition allows you to move the note spectrum of a keyboard. This allows you to play with transposing instruments. It is not an easy concept but it is made to facilitate the writing of an orchestration for instruments with very different bass and treble registers.)
• Metronome (Element of basic study to study and practice the tempo of a piece of music.)
• LCD screen
• Combined headphone/line connection (jack)
• Sustain pedal (The most important pedal of a piano or keyboard is the sustain pedal and is used to keep the note playing even if you stop pressing the key.) connection
• Audio IN (mini-jack estéreo)
• Usb to Host (It’s a more modern MIDI connector. MIDI allows you to do such wonderful things as connect the keyboard to the computer, record a soundtrack and with certain programs pass with a single click what you have played to musical notes in a score. MIDI tracks store note information)
• Sustain pedal connection
• SD and SDH port
• 2 x 6 W speakers system (not very powerfull)
• Dimensions 1161 x 385 x 147 mm
• Weight: 8,3 kg
• External power supply included and can it works with bateries also
• Music holder
