First!!! Always a pleasure watching you vids. I have sent George W over here from my channel for his Casio CT-X700 fix. 😉 In the meantime, do help me figure out how to adjust the volume balance between dual layers and splits.
This would be amazing if you want to start a New Order tribute band. Just joking, I ordered one last week--$210 including a stand, headphones, and tutorial software--and I can't wait for it to arrive.
Thanks a lot .for this video.Actually I am a novice and bought this keyboard,I was really concerned with the subtle drum beat type of sound after pressing the piano keys ,especially in Grand Piano mode.I thougth this as some sort of manufacturing defect. I even contacted the service team. Luckily I could not find a service centre near me,otherwise I would have taken this to them.But whemn you told in this video , that the hammer drop sound is found in original grand piano, and this model perfectly emulates that, I had a shy of relief.THANK you again

Hi. I've just purchased a casio ctx 700 keyboard. Great sound quality. Can you tell me if its possible to connect external separate external speakers to this keyboard? Is so how please? Great video's. Thank you.
Hi can u do a video to compare casio ctx-700 and yamaha psr-e363 sounds ONLY. Which one sounds better overall in piano. Strugle making decision between them, I focus mainly on piano sounds only, thx.
Hi, I don't have the keyboards anymore but I've reviewed them both. I suggest opening two windows on your browser and playing each review side by side, listening to the differences in piano sounds. I think it's unanimously agreed that the Casio sounds better out of these particular two :) #gearfacts
I'd got the for the CT-X700, the sounds are generally better and the PSR-E363 has none of the features that makes the 463 a decent competitor. I predict that Yamaha will release something AMAZING within the next 18 months though, since Casio has laid down such a strong challenge! Gearfacts :)
Yesterday Yamaha released the PSR E360. But…it's not really much of an upgrade to the line. It sounds like the same sound engine and comes with touch sensitive and comes in a new wood looking plastic casings.
Some smartphones have a headphone socket that doubles as a mic socket. Try feeding a cable into there and seeing if the sound appears in your voice recording app :) Gearfacts
@@gearfacts I did, but the option to record stays on for a second ,then gets cleared out. I have to tinker with it to get it to work. Happens once every hundred tries 😓.
not bad at all. very good sound for just being an entry levil. I would've pegged it for an intermediate at least. way better then some of the ctk models. I have the ctk4400. the sounds. well, aren't a real let down, they're not too bad, especially the organs, synths. but, I usually just keep it as it was a christmas gift, and well, I don't like to take things that my parents bought me back. I always thought the ctx was hire end, and all the ctks were entry level I actually sold my roland e-28 on fb market place for $50 canadian. wanted more, but that was the only offer I got, as I was only selling in my hometown, or outside the city. I suppose different numbers would have different levels. but to be honest, I never understood. some people would call entry level, but yet some would call it pro. I'd get the ctx, maybe someday, but my heart is set on a cts1 right now. love the video, and as always all your videos.
Sorry to hear you got such a low price for your E28! But yep, it’s much harder when you’re not close to a major Metro area. Also agree that the CTX 700 is impressive for its price. I have to be honest that despite the quality I got quite bored with the selection of sounds reasonably quickly, so I guess that’s something to consider if you want to move outside the basic such as piano, strings etc.
hi gearfacts! i just have a question, does your casio ctx700 sounds a little bit strange when it is plugged in? the plugged in sound of my casio ctx 700 is so strange because it has a thin sound compared to the unplugged sound. can you help me with my issue? your reply would be appreciated
Hi :) It sounds like the power adapter you're using is either faulty of the wrong voltage. Sometimes power adapters made for different kinds of devices can create buzzy noises or tones. So I'd try replacing it. Good pace to start anyway.
Hello I have a problem with mine, no key is heard and I do not know what the problem is and I do not know if an option could be resetting it, how can I reset it? or how can I make it heard again?
Nothing stuck in the headphone socket? I left a socket adapter in one once and there was no sound ...confusing for a while but easily fixed! Volume dial turned up? Sometimes having no sound is due to the simplest thing
as for the sound quality, wk500 vs ctx700 which is better? now i have wk500 and it is old but has 6wx2 speakers, so I am not sure i have to go for ctx700.
Hey Michael, thanks for your comment. I can't do anymore X700 videos unfortunately because I had to trade it in on an X3000 so I could go ahead and create more Gearfacts videos. I hear what you're saying about the need for video tutorials though, these things aren't easy to use. I'll see what I can come up with :)
I'd start by connecting a decent bluetooth speaker using AUX from the keyboard's headphone socket. Some of those speakers have a really good tonal range and they have excellent volume for their size. I'd try this before moving on to keyboard amps/
@@JJRUPPPromotions Not really, there are so many options I wouldn't know where to start. I suggest searching "Second hand computer speakers" on the net. They sell really cheap (sometimes even given away) and are often quite loud. Don't buy new speakers if you are on a budget, old speakers often sound just as good, they last for years.
I think you can, if you use your split control. I think you can invert the split somewhere, so that the part that doesn't arpeggiate is on the right. I might be wrong tho
They are difficult to operate, no doubt about it! And the manuals are hard to read. All I can really show you is what I've put in the videos. I even made a video dedicated to the subject of how hard Casio's CT-X keyboards are to operate. It's for a different model to yours but maybe it'll give you some help, I don't know: ua-cam.com/video/kupgqN9nV8g/v-deo.html
I just purchased the CT-X700. I would like to purchase some external speakers to boost up the sound. Can you please suggest what speakers would work with this keyboard. Price range: $50 or thereabouts. Thank you.
Hi TKH, my daughter is probably the best person to ask about this! She has had a lot of success with JBL speakers, and swears by them. I'm pretty sure they make some computer speakers around the $50 mark, so that might be a good place to start. Me personally, I'd go second-hand and find the most powerful Bluetooth speaker I could for that money. Just about all of them have an AUX socket for connection, and they often have surprisingly good volume. Hope that helps! Gearfacts
i have also ctx700 very good. my piano teacher always says good piano tommorow you will teach me piano. for you only my piano teacher say;s that thankyou very very much
Factory reset is often good for problems like this. The keyboard will be not be harmed, just be sure to backup any work you have created before doing the factory reset in the function menu under "other" :) #gearfacts
Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that the display only shows keyboard and f ,g notes with white background, i tried to press the function button but the display remain the same. Can you show me how many time i need to press right or left after pressing function button?
I'm looking to buy my first keyboard as a beginner. In my country YAMAHA PSR e363 is slightly cheaper than (around 10%) CASIO CTX 700. Considering sound quality and overall facts, Which keyboard should I buy? I'm confused. Can you help me? What do you recommend?
The only Yamaha keyboards that beat the Casio keyboards are the ones that start with a "4". They have the dynamic control knobs, and they make ALL the difference! The Casios clearly outperform the Yamaha keyboards that start with "3" or "2". So in your comparison, I'd buy the Casio.
@@gearfacts thanks for the reply! I'm a beginner and I heard something about the usb being different. Can you connect the CTX700 to the computer to grab songs? I heard you can with CTX800
for this price is there any other keyboard that has a sound as good or better than that Grand piano sound? Im looking for a keyboard that sounds like a piano but also can connect to a recording software , I dont need it with a ton of tricks, just a good sound
The CT-X800 has USB connection. I think it's the best piano sound for the money. Either that or try to find a second-hand Korg synth maybe? :) #gearfacts
The grand piano sound is quite great in my opinion, even better than Yamaha PSR-E series
Yes I agree, it's exceptional. Gearfacts
