The PL-40R features 271 different instrument tones and is 64-note polyphonic. It not only offers piano sounds, but every instrument of the orchestra as well as percussion, modern synthesizer textures, and sound effects. You’ll find an assortment of 100 built-in rhythm patterns, and the famous Casio Chord system, which enables you to play chord progressions without even knowing the notes that make up the chords.

In addition the PL-40R has a 17-track song sequencer. You can record your performances, lessons, compositions, phrases and more for future playback. Up to ten songs can be stored in its internal memory and an unlimited number on floppy disk or external PC. Other features include: backlit LCD window; mixer function; MIDI IN/OUT jacks, 16-Channel Multi Timbral; two headphone jacks plus stereo line out jacks and a two-speaker audio system.

“What makes this Celviano so special is Casio’s ‘three-step’ advanced lesson system featuring a key-lighting keyboard that provides a powerful, yet easy-to-use teaching tool that will help make your dreams of piano proficiency a reality,” said John Casey, general manager of Casio’s Electronic Musical Instruments Division. He added that the PL-40R has 70 built-in songs. “Simply plug the Celviano in and you can play these songs instantly,” he said. “Just follow the lighted keys, it’s that simple.”
