As promised ppl, here are the pictures of my digital piano!

This is the overlook of it. nice orange glow huh? imagine playing in the dark ^^
Oolala look at e LCD display (only this model of digital piano has it). whole 88 keys display. on the right you can see the entire scale. 8vas are used to display higher notesA smorgasbord of buttons. there's also a pitch bend wheel that only this model has (double kill!) and that trusty numpad. they added shortcut-button-area for quick access to the type of instrument.
Noticed how the piano stands? it wasnt supposed to. the stand comes free! on top of that, this is free too ^^
and this free too.. a 3 pedal compared to a simple sustain pedal

NOW FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE SPECIFICATIONS (=.=) :
Sound Engine: ZPI (Zygotech Polynomial Interpolation)
Optimized data compression and a polynomial interpolation based waveform playback process combine to produce amazingly clear and realistic sounds. O_O wth is this? all i know that its the 3rd best engine they offer. All i know that the best engine casio will jack the price up by up to $400.

Waveform: Tri-element
Three separate samples of a grand piano are employed for strong, light, and medium keyboard pressure. The result is an amazing range of expression for a digital piano. ^^ goodie

Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard
As if the lower keys are hitting large strings in the piano, they are heavier and vice versa.

Hammer Action Keyboard
The bounce and weight feels like normal piano keys!
Touch Response
Press hard, loud. Press light, soft. Anywhere in between? No worries! Supports pp to ff !Full 88 keys! Most important
Speaks by themselves i guess

The first is the number of tones (aka instruments), followed by the rhythms (accompaniment) and the song capacity. The MEMO is a function to store your combination of the above. meaning you can have strings on accompaniment and honky tonk on instruments in the piano's memory, recalling whenever you need them. The last function automatically configures the ideal settings for any rhythm. One Touch Preset setting include tone, tempo, and more.

Synthesizer Function
Find that piano sound too unlike the grand? Tone parameters can be altered to create original sounds, which can then be saved in on-board memory.

From what i just learnt, drawbar control the sound of organs. This function lets you virtually tune the drawbars! interesting =)

High-quality digital effects!
100 DSP effects including acoustic resonance, 16 reverbs and 16 choruses.
Reproduces the resonant effect of a grand piano damper pedal!

Finally, i can expand my tones with downloaded content online! There's also a cd bundled to concoct some complicated stuff ^^
