The keyboard offers three sensitivity levels to deliver the response of a traditional grand piano with a remarkably accurate touch.
• The simulated ebony-and-ivory textured keys feature a fine-grain finish to prevent slippage caused by perspiration. Smooth to the touch, the keys feel comfortable to the fingertips, even during long sessions.

• With layer mode, not only can you play just one single sound, but you can layer a second sound over the first sound.

• The convenient duet mode allows the piano’s keyboard to be split in the center, making it possible for a teacher to play on the left side while the student follows along on the right. Alternatively, one person can play the left-hand part on the left, while another plays the right-hand part on the right.
• To help you practice and perform with precision timing, the built-in metronome offers patterns with 0 to 9 beats at a tempo ranging from 20 to 255 BPM.

• Casio Music Space is a free app exclusively for Casio digital piano and keyboard users. When running on iOS or Android devices connected to your Casio piano via USB, the app acts as digital musical score, a music teacher, a live-performance simulator, and as an all-around app to enjoy learning and playing music. It’s for complete beginners, people taking up an instrument again, and anyone who wants to experience a new way of playing. Expand your enjoyment of music by watching, listening, and playing through the app.
• The piano can also be seamlessly controlled from the free Chordana Play for Piano app for iOS/Android smartphones and tablets. Quickly and easily change settings such as tone, touch response, and metronome.

• The CDP-S160 comes equipped with a standard sustain pedal and can be used with the optional standalone SP-34 three-pedal unit.
• Greater authenticity is achieved with the optional CS-470P stand, which places the instrument at perfect playing height and features a crossbar with three pedals fixed in place as they would appear on a traditional acoustic grand. This functionality appeals to classical and jazz players who seek the immediate familiarity of the pedals being right where they expect them.

Q: 10. Deciding between the Recital and the concert models. is the key feel very different? hammer vs semiweighted adustable feel

A: Yes, there is a difference in the feel of the hammer action and semi-weighted keys on the Alesis Recital Pro and Concert 88-Key Digital Pianos. Hammer action keys can also be referred to as "fully-weighted" and the keys are heavier and can be harder to press down than semi-weighted keys which are lighter and very easy to press. Hammer action keyboards are often favored by players who have experience playing a traditional acoustic piano as this type of keyboard requires more strength and finger dexterity. There are also players who prefer the ease of semi-weighted keys. The sound of the piano can be the same whether the keyboard has hammer action or semi-weighted keys. Keyboards with semi-weighted keys are typically lighter, less expensive, and more portable. This is also true for the Alesis Recital Pro and Concert 88-Key Digital Pianos. There is a considerable difference in the weight of the two models. The Recital Pro weighs 26 pounds while the Concert model weighs 15.6 pounds.
