@@casiomusicgear could you please do a review on the Casiotone CT-S190 that Costco just put on sale? With all the talk about Christmas shortages, I made an impulse putchase, even though I couldn't find anything about it. Hoped it would be it would be related to this model since it the numbers were so similar and it also had 5 octaves and could be powered by 6 AA batteries as well as AC. Alas, it is NOT touch sensitive. The handle that projects from the case might make it convenient to carry to school or play outside, but it was a bit of a disappointment that it's lacking that key feature since most students need that key feature. Since so many people shop Costco, especially at this season, a review would be very helpful. For the beginners for whom it would be appropriate and inspiring. We lost our home (and musical instruments) from fire, got lowballed by the insurance, then Covid hit so I wasn't teaching in person and didn't replace my keyboards, so I may keep it just to teach out of doors some days. Thanks in advance!

I'm used to $99 keyboards, but you're not getting the quality of a $99 keyboard doubled for $99 more, you're getting like 5X the features for just $99 more. Amazing.

I had the CT-201 as a gift from my folks in my teens. I loved it! I used it in a punk rock band and bought an MT-40 and VL-1 as well as flanger and echo pedal. Fond memories!

I would say that the "buts" come in the form of no accompaniment rhythms, lack of digital display, no external amplifier jack; and limited variety of voices (61)...

As someone who usually plays a medium-sized grand piano, this was the only small keyboard that I could enjoy playing. Even my MIDI controller has weighted keys! The action is as close to piano-like as you can get in a non-weighted keyboard. I bought it as a travel practice piano because I wanted something as light and portable as possible. I absolutely love it. It has a heavier and less “springy” feel than most keyboards. It may be too heavy for someone who plays keys all the time. But for a pianist, I think it’s the best choice.

This year I got Casio CT-S500 instead of Roland Go:Keys, although I am a hardcore Roland fan. CASIO nowadays is doing a great job!!!

im amazed

I am waiting for mine, an off-white one to blend in with my office decor (I have a Roland Lucina Synth Keytar at home). I was seriously considering the Korg Liano 88 key piano, but decided against it. First of all you can't layer the sounds on the Liano, secondly the free software with it that would allow for that is limited to iPhone. There is also just slightly to few sounds for me to be happy with the Liano which I have tried and it plays well. Although I need the facility to connect it with a DAW at times I generally want to use my machine on its own. The 61 key Ct- S1 will also fit on my desk, while the 88 key will not. I am very excited to receive my Casiotone & will give you an update once I've given it a good old go.😊

nice keyboard,waiting for a 49key version to gig with

I am admittedly and frankly trying to influence the influencers to speak out. I am presently selling two 61-key keyboards and when they are gone I am going to get a Casio CT-S1. As far as I can tell, it is about the best you can get in the price range for a combination of piano style keys and action, minimalist design and good tone and sound. Someone with even a minimal background in music (that's me) can utilize any small keyboard if they have a purpose in mind for it. For someone who does not want arranger features, the S1 is great choice. It also would be a great choice for an adult beginner with no musical background. What it is not is a good beginner keyboard for the child and youth market (aka "kids"), for the simple reason that the sound is too adult. The industry keeps on creating arranger keyboards of various quality grades down to $50 for 49 keys and marketing them as beginner instruments for kids. No, they are not beginning instruments for kids. A good 61-key beginner instrument for kids should keys as piano-like as you can make them at the price point, limited distractions and options and good but kid-friendly sound. The Casio CT-S1 is an adult-oriented product. Maybe the industry needs to get together and make a kid-friendly beginner keyboard. Maybe Casio action and Yamaha sound would do it. Do you need 400 voices and all sorts of arranger features to start out on? I don't think a beginner of any age needs them. Speak out. The industry might listen.

Just checking out what you have. Comment from a music lover.

Does the record/play functions have a loop mode? if not, any product on your line up you can recommend?

love this! price of entry is a no brainer. just a fun piece to have around. the Casio brand is ripe for an analog/hybrid synth offering. i’d be first in line for a 61 key synth offering from Casio that leaned into their pedigree of fun/unique sounds- doesn’t need to be a Prophet. i like where their head is at right now.

I'd say it has one of the best sounds... the other is CFX... but they are different

This is a fantastic portable keyboard with great sounds.

I know it sounds like a lot I am asking for. The price doesn’t have to be that low. This model will not be meant for beginners. Professionals also sometimes need something portable.

Hi Shea, If you want to record direct audio, there are a number of interfaces available for iOS and Android phones that will work very well with the CT-S1 (or any other Casio instrument with an audio output). You'll need one of those plus an appropriate cable to connect the CT-S1's 1/8" stereo output to the audio interface's inputs. Your CGP-700 can also record directly to a WAV file. All you need is a USB drive connected to the port on the top panel.

Hey there - if you're wanting to play modern music (rock, pop, blues, country, jazz etc) a 61 key is most often just fine, especially if it has an octave shift built in (so you can move the whole board up or down 1 octave for a song if needed). For many traditional classical pieces you really need 88 (I'm an ex-bass player who started playing piano a year ago; I occasionally use the bottom octave on my 88 key piano, the top octave needs dusting regularly. I'm planning on picking up one of these as a great sounding super portable option)

@ChristianKoehler77

3 жыл бұрын

For popular music it's just fine. 5 octaves cover the range of guitars and human voices well. If you need lower notes (like a bass guitar) you can shift the thing down by one octave (it has the option). You will lose high notes, obviously. But very low and very high notes in one song aren't needed often. And even if they are it's usually just a few very low or very high notes for an ending or something. You will get by if you are a little creative. 61 key keys has been very common on stages all over the world for decades. It works well. If you are into classical piano music you should buy something with the full 88 keys, obviously.

Each one selects a different sound (the ones you'll find in step #1 are among them). So when you're layering, you'll need to use step #2 to select the second Tone. - Hold down FUNCTION, press the C3 key (second-lowest C), and keep holding FUNCTION. - Press the key that corresponds to the Tone you want from step #2 above.
