Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Common knowledge says that if you don't practice diligently and master technique, you can't play a musical instrument. Casio, however, thinks otherwise, which is why it developed the LK-90TV lighted keyboard, which connects to users' TVs to guide them through lesson plans while individual keys light up to direct them to the proper notes. The keyboard employs a comprehensive three-step lesson system, which lets people learn as they play and grades their progress after each tutorial. The keyboard's complement of 61 illuminated keys also means folks will learn on a full keyboard, and the 100 pre-recorded songs gives them plenty of choices for accompaniment. Budding Elton Johns will appreciate the sing-along function, which lets people karaoke their way through 65 classics, with the option of loading more songs when connected to a computer through the USB interface. The karaoke option displays song lyrics across people's TV screens while they play, so both keyboard players and guests can harmonize their way through a host of favorites.

The LK-90TV owes its impressive sound to its HL dual-element sound chip, which delivers rich, crisp tones. The setup also offers an extensive repertoire of 128 general MIDI timbres, 128 tones, and eight drum sets, letting users experiment with a variety of beats and sounds. The advanced MIDI interface makes it easy to add other tones as well, all of which store via the SmartMedia medium. Additional features include an assignable pedal jack with sustain, soft, and rhythm start/stop options; 120 rhythm patterns; transpose and tuning controls; and a practice phase switch. Now stop messing around with ineffective keyboard lesson plans and get to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool, December 26, 2004

By 

Brad Melendy (Keizer, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Casio LK-90TV 61-Key Lighted Keyboard with Karaoke Function (Electronics)

My kids got this for Xmas and its very cool. Comes with 100 songs and you can download more with your computer and pipe them over via USB or on a Smart Media card. The keys light up on the programmed songs to help you along and an LCD display tells your tempo and what fingers you should be using on which keys.

If you have kids that play piano, its very nice that they can now practice somewhere and be quiet or use headphones.

It's a little intimidating with all its buttons and features, but otherwise a very nice piece of equipment. Comes with a power adapter and microphone. Consider getting a keyboard stand and bench so you can put it wherever you want since it is portable (compared to a piano). In its most basic form, you just plug in the power, turn it on and start playing.

Got this key board for Christmas for my mom. But she also got me one. There is no ac adapter in the box like item describes only downer. Lots of fun though. My mom got my lk-90 at sam's and she only paid 150 with a stand included..oh and the one from sam's did have the adapter who can figure.

5.0 out of 5 stars I played Moonlight Sonata without a single lesson!, March 9, 2005

By 

Alicia White "sierramoon3" (TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Casio LK-90TV 61-Key Lighted Keyboard with Karaoke Function (Electronics)

This is an outstanding keyboard. I've never had a piano lesson, yet I was able to play Moonlight Sonata right after taking it out of the box. This keyboard has a feature that lights the keys you are supposed to play about 2 seconds before you are supposed to play them. As a result, you are able to play complicated songs without a single lesson, or reading a single page of sheet music. It's very satisfying. While I am teaching myself to play the piano, I am able to play beautiful and complicated songs. It's a great way to stay motivated.

My keyboard did not come with an adapter either, so you'll have to pick one up seperately.
