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.
Reviews
Cool keyboardGot 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.
Description is wrong. It does not come with AC adapterAmazon's description clearly states that the AC adapter is "in the box". But mine did not have one and the product information both at Casio and on the box itself says no adapter is included. This really bummed me out, I asked for this for Christmas thinking I'd be able to fire it up right away, but no such luck. Yeah, you can feed it batteries but now I have to order the power supply to really enjoy it. This is false advertising and I'm pretty upset about it. Actually, while we're on the subject, why doesn't it come with the adapter? Pretty cheesy deal all the way around.
great productI gave the LK90TV to my non-musician son as a learning tool.
My two musician sons have hogged it since prima luce.
The box does contain the adaptor. It is hidden in the styrofoam packing material.
I played Moonlight Sonata without a single lesson!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.
No adapter....This was a rip-offI bought this and took it to another state to give to my grandchildren on Christmas Day. What a disappointment. Grandpa thought there was an adapter "in the box" as advertised so we had the whole day with no adapter and no batteries. I notified Amazon immediately. They sent me another whole keyboard but no adapter again. I will have to think twice about believing anything Amazon has in its ads. There were plenty of other places to get this, maybe I should have gone to a store where they could show me what was in the box before I disappoint my grandkids again.
No adaptor here eitherIt seems to be a great product, but I searched all over in the manual to find out whether or not the adaptor was included-on Christmas eve which was not much fun. I think it should've been included for the price I paid.
I gave 4 stars because of all the features. I just hope it lasts.
In one day I've already had to buy more batteries.
Very coolMy 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.
