I am a beginner, and I am wondering to pick one between Casio cts200 and Yamaha np21, which one would you recommend to me?

[@SumonAdakpbx]

Desperately want to buy it but it's unavailable in India.

[@Jay-777-p4p]

Hey Jeremy,
Can you use a wireless microphone?

[@UserMW14]

I am looking to buy this keyboard as first keyboard, I am just wondering if the key lighting can be disabled?

[@dajimejebote]

Yup, this is THE ONE. Because, if you want to work on your repertoire and learn actual songs besides "only" improvising, this key lighting system is pretty much unbeatable. Totally effortless and pleasurable learning if you ask me. Good thing the lights can be turned off when not necessary. The price is silly and kudos to Casio. It will make this fly off the shelves. Makes you want to buy one for every family member and one for dog, but I can't imagine it will be this low for Europe.

[@iron_archer]

I was wondering how you turn off the lights? If you could reply with an answer id greatly appreciate it 😁

[@SophieN1229]

@@iron_archer I think you press the 3rd line dot thingy to go to the settings for the lights.I might be wrong because that’s how it works for the casiotone lk-s450

I bought this several months ago and I assure you it's great fun to play.

[@Stephanie9959]

I chatted with Mike Martin of Casio and told him if Stevie Wonder and Kodi Lee cannot play an instrument they should provide a separate control panel with a physical button for every feature. He became grumpy. I said it could be a separate option that you plug into USB or other input. I just went from synth to weighted keys never going back.

[@troyanthony5272]

Just ordered the LK-S250 here in the U.S. for $110 USD. Given it seems to be out of stock at the moment at most places and lists for $159, I thought getting it for a little over a $100 was worth a shot based on the review here.

Now that’s pretty cool. I’ll buy that one then the light keys will be something for me to show out with cause I do epic runs. I grew up on Casio keyboards. SA-67 is where it started at. Now days Casio have some great boards these days. I have ctx700. And I use those along with korg keyboards. I’ll buy this one tho even tho it has 48 poly. I can dig that

I love your mic stand.

[@vanessaholub6704]

Thank you so much for all your in-depth videos. In your opinion, is there a difference in the feel of the keys in the LK-250 vs. the CT-S300? Trying to decide between the two.

[@hiphophannah22]

Which one did you go with? I am deciding between the two as well

[@gabriellejones9985]

I found the lks 250 is the only one with microphone compatibility... and I need that.

[@Aryan-qr8er]

I'll buy this only!!

[@VirtuosicFantasies]

Great Review! Thx :)

[@shakarchi]

I am a beginner and confused about the LK-S250 and LK-265 and they are the same price in my country which one you prefer.
great music Jeremy

[@retiredtechie6585]

Bashir Hashim
, Differences I noted are:
- Multiple buttons, keypad, to select sounds versus a scroll wheel,
- 77 rhythms (S250) versus 100 rhythms (265)
- 10 types of reverb on S250, none mentioned for the 265
Otherwise they seem pretty identical--well, except for the smaller size of the S250, of course.

[@indieh1571]

From what I’ve seen it can connect to my mobile device... does it have an app and do the keys light up and show you how to play songs ? And does it only connect to android devices

[@thebrokeasshobbyist]

I heard you say it in the vid but would like to clarify: Can this be used as MIDI controller?

[@urryd]

Yes

[@Ariesoetomo]

But you don't get any pitch bender, standard midi mostly have those feature

[@pratyushnaigaonkar3208]

This is similar to the groove creator of the psr e463

[@omarramirez9200]

Hi Jeremy, I was considering this because of the lighting up key feature. I would like to learn to play along with my daughters and thought the light up feature is a must. I'm now stuck between the cts1 and this one. The cts1 looks like a superior choice to me. Is the light up feature really going to make that much of a difference for beginners? I'm trying to define if the feature is a gimmick or if it's really worth it for beginners. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[@cartertaylor9380]

Hey, I'm in a similar position right now and was wondering what you ended up deciding on? I'm not sure if the light up keys are worth it or not. Would love some feedback. Thank you you!

[@PittsburghRecordingStudio]

Also YES your voice is fantastic

[@sushmatomar965]

Thanks for review. From India

[@astartesidon609]

anyway what to choose? CT-S300 (w/pitch bend) or LK-S250 (lightning key)?

[@hiphophannah22]

I am deciding between the two as well. Which one did you go with?

[@abii32]

Cual elegiste?

[@leirodrigoxii]

Does the speaker of the CTS300 and this LKS250 the same in terms of power and quality? Or is LKS250 better? Trying to decide between the 2 and I prefer the one with pitch bend but if the LKS250 speakers are better then I'll go with that. Thanks!!

[@LoveRise]

Insightful review looking forward to others on what this unit has to offer. Is it possible to shut off the lighting system to save battery power? It would be great if you could demonstrate if the midi works properly in a DAW like Garageband. And for those of us not familiar with how to use Chordana that would also be useful.🌈

[@JeremySee]

Thanks for watching. Yes, battery live will be longer when you turn off key light. The MIDI is standard implementation and will work with GarageBand etc.

[@LoveRise]

Jeremy See Thank you so much...love the work your doing! Since this keyboard will not be available till november, I was thinking of buying the casio ctx-700 to play now yet I could wait. Which keyboard would be better quality and more versatile?

[@gloom8892]

Hey Jeremy, great review! I’m hoping you (or anyone reading this!) might be able to help out... I’m looking to buy a keyboard for my 90 year old Grandfather. He used to play but hasn’t for many years, so want to get one that can do single finger chords. Does this Casio have that feature? If not is there a keyboard you could recommend? 🙏

[@JeremySee]

Yes it does single finger chords.

[@jaysoegaard]

Great video, I just have a few questions if you find the time, this this keyboard without any smart devices connected to it, let you learn songs from the built-in selection at one hand at a time.? So if I'm playing moon light donate I can first learn the left hand and then the right melody seperatly. Last question, can you slow down the lighting system when learning new songs, so a child can learn to keep up slowly.? Thanks for your time, will buy as a I'm as present for daughter

[@gogreengameon2146]

Can MIDI files of your choice be sent from the PC, in order to light up keys, so that you can use this method to learn songs to your personal taste?

[@ellegaard_k]

You can't, but you can connect your keyboard to a PC(or a tablet) so you can use learning apps like Synthesia, which takes advantage of the key lighting feature.
