I see that it's only possible to mix 2 sound maximum, as well as not possible to regulate the volume of style single track, right? It's only possible to regulate the sound's volume of full style, as I can see. I'm talking about this because I'd decide between CT s500 and ct x3000
The lack of 5-pin DIN MIDI ports can be remedied for an extra $50 or so. I got the DoreMidi USB MIDI host box, which I've connected to my CT-S1000v via its microUSB port, and then I just connected the DoreMidi box to my Roland Juno DS via regular MIDI cables. It works like a charm, but I haven't used it for long, so I can't vouch for this particular MIDI host box's durability. The 73 keys would be really nice. I'd also like to see Casio increase polyphony to 128 voices, and also increase the amount of instruments you can layer to at least 3 for upper voices the way Korg i3 and EK50 can do that right now. But the lack of DIN MIDI ports was close to a deal-breaker for me. I almost got the Yamaha MX49 instead of he CT-S1000v. Almost.
@@ivanl.8201 Thank you Ivan for that excellent information , it’s the NAAM show this week let’s hope Casio addresses these issues with some new and improved keyboards . Even since the 80 s Casio has made some keyboards which were potentially great…. but they always left something important out ( always a deal killer)…I m referring to the CZ range which lacked polyphony or velocity…or the hex layer models which had so much potential but wrongly packaged.
@@dougie6897 Yes! Thank you, Dougie. I hope they listen to us. My first keyboard ever was their little PT-1, and I absolutely loved it. Yes, it was cheesy and all, but there's always been that nostalgic brightness to their sound that I think can add some sparkle to just about any song. Yes, I've always loved how the CZ series sounded. I remember being about 12-13 or so, and Erasure had some big hits, and I think Vince Clarke had those CZ's in the mix. The phase distortion synthesis Casio came up with was a thing of beauty; it was like a "softer digital" tone compared to the DX7. I have the Arturia's CZ V plugin and love it so much and surely wish Casio created a new CZ unit with 128/256 polyphony. I think it'd sell like hotcakes. I also think they gave up on their XW-P1 way too soon. Like you said, that hex layer was great, but I think that keyboard fell a bit short. But I wish they didn't give up on it. I think it would have been fantastic in mkII or mkIII release. I wish Casio kept refining their products, much like Korg and Yamaha do. Instead, they often yank them from the market even though there's so much promise, and probably a winning synth in a version 2.0. One of my big regrets was not getting their MZ-2000 keyboard back in the early 00's. It's really shame that line got discontinued for so long. I really wish Casio becomes more patient with their product refinements. I think they have it in them to create some absolutely top-notch keyboards, and I think they're halfway there. Keeping my fingers crossed that they do take some of our feedback, too :)
@@dougie6897 Just one more thing before I forget. One thing that Casio got absolutely right with this model is its' electric piano sounds. They're absolutely phenomenal for this price point, and I think are worth getting this keyboard for alone, if e-pianos are something that you really need. I think combining its' e-pianos with pads from VST instruments or other synths can bring about some pretty amazing results.
Yamaha got a response keyboard to this but it gives the DGX vibe still. When CTX came out, it was totally new now they have this. They're very new like. I have the CTX 800 and the CTS 500. I had the Yamaha but sold them. These Casios are nothing like they used to be. They're sounding like they cost over 2 grand.
I have this and the sounds are decent. The effects are mediocre and difficult to to program and set up. This for me kills it. Probably going to sell it.
This amoints to a giddy advertisement for casio. I've had this keyboard for two weeks, and I will return it today. I was excited by what seems to be on offer here, but now I feel burned. Problems: the otherwise wonderful speakers crackle when resonant and/or dissonant tones are played. There is no "speaker off" switch to bypass that problem by using studio external speakers. Pedals plugged into the designated ports did not work - -including the generic (working) sustain pedal that I unplugged from an older casio keyboard I also own. In the shop where I purchased this keyboard, the salesman and manager could not get either a sustain or expression pedal to work. We all assumed that I had to menu-dive to activate them. No mention of any of these functions in the minimal user manual. No one online seems to have encountered these problems.
I bought a yamaha psr sx700 alittle while ago. I'm thinking of adding this to my collection for more versatility. This is a great keyboard for the price.

This is actually a very good presentation for a keyboard. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, I made my choice to ct s 1000.
Waiting for mine to arrive….fantastic kit
Nice review. Just bought one. It’s perfect.

Casio a fatto tanti passi avanti..
Ma le tastiere entry level restano sempre
Pocco affidabili e con materiali non proffessionali.....
It’s nearly perfect…. It only needs 5 pin din real MIDI and 73 keys and it’s a giging professional option!!

@@ivanl.8201 absolutely correct, I couldn’t agree more 👍

No selective mute for rhythms (chords, bass, drums) is deal breaker. Why not drums only?
Far too much talk, very little playing. 👎
Can you tell me how many custom melody samples you can store on the CT-S500?
Tutte le tastiere entry level costano troppo
Prezzo esagerato troppo altro per un entry level
Excellent review of the Casio-tone 500... I own the 410 and I love it ! Lee
I think they shoul put category buttons or a separate + or - button.
no orig midi ?
Hi am having issues playing MP3 files off a USB on Casio CT S500 can you help out please ?? is there a specific USB I need ??

Thia keyboard is a game change. Take Care Yamaha.

Keys seem misplaced, uneven gaps... ct-s 300 seems much more tidy, better keys on cheaper model??
Which is better, Cts400 or roland ex10?
Can you add a controler to it? I'm a bassist and wanted to add the k mcmillen footcontroller
Anybody know how to get out of registration mode once you're in?
can I create my own rhythm sequences? intro, outro etc?

Love it!!!!

What full size keyboard do recommend for beginners under $500 ?
Still sounds like a toy
