Page "Stage piano" Paragraph 2

Stage pianos differ from inexpensive home digital keyboards such as the Casio CTK-533 in a number of ways.

Home digital keyboards such as the Casio CTK-533 provide a hundred sounds, ranging from imitation electric piano and flute sounds to buzzy synth-style sounds.

However, the imitation sounds are created by relatively simple synthesis methods, rather than by sampling or complex Digital Signal Processing-modelling, as in the case of a high-end stage piano.

This means that the sound quality of the Casio CTK-533 presets are not suitable for a professional performance.
