Thanks for checking out another piano review by Stu Harrison at Merriam Pianos! In this video we’re going to cover Casio’s latest offering, the PX-S1000 digital piano. We’re going to do our best to make sure we cover everything you need to know if you’re looking at digital pianos under the $1,000 price point, and why this one should be on your short list.

Tone Engine and Sound:

The Casio PX-S1000 uses Casio’s AiR tone generator, which is essentially a 4-velocity layer sample-based synthesis engine. It comes with 192 note polyphony, 16 watts of speaker power, and the acoustic piano tone in particular is quite rich and complex. Casio has developed some really interesting technology with regards to reverbs and chorus effects which can be accessed via the on-board ‘Sound Mode’. This feature creates a surround sound like experience, with both the on-board speakers and when playing with headphones.

A potential drawback with the PX-S1000 is that in their attempt to streamline the control surface and create a highly aesthetic appearance, Casio has wound up with a system that relies on a bunch of different shortcut commands to access various sounds. This is a minor complaint, but it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll need to have the owner’s manual close by when you’re getting familiar with this instrument. This being said, Casio has developed an app which allows you to control the instrument remotely, and this is easily accessible via the instrument’s built in Bluetooth capabilities.

There are 18 on-board sounds which are quite nice, but another notable observation, the various sound patches are not normalized to one another with regards to volume, so you may have to do some adjusting when switching between tones.


Piano Action:

The action on the Casio PX-S1000 is not the same action that you’ll see on some of the older Casio Privia models. Interestingly, the action does not have a triple sensor like the PX160, but rather has devolved in a sense with a double sensor action instead, which will likely reduce some accuracy in the output of MIDI information. Considering this, it’s likely that Casio didn’t build this instrument with folks who have extensive acoustic piano playing experience in mind, but rather as more of a gateway product for folks just getting into piano for the first time, who also have an eye for aesthetics.

The texture on the white keys is a definite improvement over past models, and feels much closer to ivory. The weighting feels very good, and despite the downgrade to a double sensor, this is still a solid action and enjoyable to play.


Features/Connectivity:

A really nice feature on the Casio PX-S1000 is the two ¼” stereo outputs, a huge plus for anyone looking to connect to an amplifier. The PX-S1000 is also compatible with a wooden designer stand and a triple pedal unit, but rather than the standard triple pedal bar most manufacturer’s offer, this particular one is a floating unit that does not require fastening to a stand to operate. This is another potential plus.

A quirky decision Casio made here is that while the PX-S1000 features Bluetooth Audio, it does not have Bluetooth MIDI. Usually at this price point, the reserve is true, with Bluetooth Audio typically reserved for much more expensive instruments. There is a USB connector if you would like to transmit MIDI information.


Conclusions:

With a slick, modern appearance, the PX-S1000 is a worthwhile entry to Casio’s famed Privia line. While there are some other models at this price point that might have a better tone, or another that may feel a little bit better, the total package Casio is offering here may be just the ticket for you.
