    After watching a lot of your videos, I chose the CT-S500 to purchase over the Yamaha PSR-475 or PSR-425. The deciding factors for me were, in no particular order (1) bluetooth midi, (2) both a pitch wheel and modulation knob (3) real-time editable synth parameters including filter, envelope and portamento. The compact and light form factor was also a plus, and I might try it out as a keytar; but the downside that goes with that is fewer controls on the front panel and a less powerful sound system. The bluetooth midi makes it great with the iPad. In my view, it is not a great arranger keyboard due to lack of controls; but it is a pretty decent general purpose keyboard and synthesizer for the money (yes, I consider it to be a full synthesizer due to the editable functions), and it is an excellent bluetooth midi controller. It would be even better if it had aftertouch, but you can't have everything.

    As a kid and teen in the '80s Casio figured prominently in my life. I wore Casio watches, used Casio calculators to do my math homework, and although I wasn't into music yet at that time I remember playing with the Casio keyboards at places like Kmart here in the USA. I also have fond Casio memories from the mid-late '90s (I had taken an interest in music by then) of programming my friend's CZ-101, among other synths. Good times!

Nevertheless i followed the release of that new models, seems for me they took a lot from the x's... Me and our band love the accomp. a lot, its a pity that the volume is not adjustable here.

    I slept early on my day off from work and am up early morning watching your videos, and an epiphany came to mind. I love my CT-S1, and it is doing fine for what I need, but the CT-S500 has everything I want and more, albeit for a higher price. You covered all the perks and drawbacks of this keyboard, but it sounds great for me, especially if it has all the CT-S1 sounds, and I can live with those for a pumped up CT-S1 when I need it. When I do, I can let my sister use the CT-S1 that is more simpler for her to use. The Yamaha PSR-EW425 is all around a better keyboard, especially if you want/need the extended 76 Key range, and better sounds and features, if you are going to get one keyboard and don't need the more compact form function and portability of the CT-S500, and the voice synthesis features(which my Roland JD-Xi has a vocorder). It would be a budget consideration for my church keyboard in the future, but I just rather get the Roland RD 88 for the full range weighted keys and the incredible sounds, up to I believe 3000, and incredible features. The V Combo VR-09B is also amazing for a 61 key keyboard and would be great for a second keyboard for my church, or a gigging rig if needed, or alone, but it does not have built in speakers. But would be the one ideal keyboard to gig and take on the go. The Fantom 06/07 is also incredible with even more sounds and features, but is much more expensive, but great for production. So yeah, the CT-S500 would be the most logical step for me, with the RD 88, and maybe the V Combo later. I plan to get an iPad Mini 6 in the future, and maybe the new Mac Mini down the road, so don't need the Fantom. Btw, I got two printer USB 6' cables at my store for $2.25 each. The 10' ones cost almost $12.00. They work with my JD-Xi, the Yamaha PSRs, and the Roland keyboards I mentioned. All the choices with different keyboard to fit everyone's needs, wants and budgets...

    I actually love the sounds on this keyboard and I really like the styles, but I hadn't played with the styles long enough to find the limitations. Your information is really helpful to prospective buyers to decide what they can live with or without. I own the CT-X800 and it sounds thin compared to this model and the sister CT-S1000V model. The bass reflex speaker makes all the difference. I did a review on it and had to buy one for myself! My mom and dad are 83 and 90 years old, so I am going back and forth to alternate with my sister in caring for them. I took my keyboard with me. It's so small! and sounds so good!! I am jazzed! I was looking for a slim case but they are so expensive. I went on a Casio forum and one of the members directed me to a certain rectangular padded rifle case that JUST fits ...no extra room...but it works. I'm hoping the zipper will stand up to wear. It looks like a gig bag with extra pockets. I reinforced all the seams with a fabric fusion product. We''ll see how it holds up. Now even the case is small like the keyboard! One thing I didn't like. In the US; it doesn't come with a manual, only a quick start guide. The manual has to be downloaded. Not handy to have to access it that way when you get stumped, but for what I need, it's perfect. I LOVE your reviews because you always get deeper into the functions and what the advantages/limitations are, more than most (or any) reviewers out there! Thank you!

    Hi Jeremy. An utterly splendid and insightful review as always. And so, a simple question for you: would there be any reason for me at all to "upgrade" my beloved CT-X 5000 to one of these (or more specifically to a CT-S1000v, apart from the voice synthesis feature)? Your insight and opinion would be very much appreciated. My overall impression/evaluation says not, but perhaps you can convince me otherwise. Thanks in advance, and thanks again for these in-depth and inspiring reviews - keep 'em coming!!!

    Great video Jeremy! Thanks for evaluating the CT-S500. As you mentioned, it is portable, powerful and has very good sound, BUT it is so minimalistic that it has too few buttons to operate it... The CT-S500 is beautiful, I can't deny it. But if you need to use rhythms and registration banks at the same time, I think the minimalistic panel and the few buttons will give a little more trouble. I have a CT-X800 today and while it lacks some basic functions and is ugly (haha), it has enough buttons for playing, changing registrations and tones instantly. I just don't look at the PSR E473 because it has only 10 slots for extra rhythms, whereas the CT-S500 has 50. Sound-wise, they are very good, it boils down to personal preference. EDIT: I think the only keyboard that'll fit my needs is the PSR SX600.

    Hi Jeremy, Another very informative and enjoyable video, thanks! I recently bought the Casio CT-X 700 and am very satisfied with the sounds! I've been thinking for a long time which device is best for me. I have long experience with VST plugins, but wanted a real instrument for smaller concerts. First I bought the Roland Go Keys, but I didn't really like the operation and other features. the sound palette is more limited to piano, e-piano and organ sounds and a lot of boring synth sounds. The Casio CT-X 700 also has very nice wind instruments and string sounds! Unfortunately it's a bit bigger than I would like, a 4 octave version with minikeys would be best for me, but you can't have everything ;-) Now my question: Would the CT-S 400 be better suited for me? Or the CT-S 500? It's a bit more compact than the CT-X 700. However, I find the operation via the display a bit cumbersome. The CT-S1 didn't have enough sounds for me. What else would you recommend me? Thanks in advance! Have a great time and best regards Tom

    Hey Jeremy - what do you think about doing a comparison video between Casio's different "top shelf" branches? There's the CT-X, the WK and the MZ-X, which frankly seem very similar to each other (they're all arrangers after all), would be nice if someone did a deep dive into the differences between them, since no one seems to have done that yet.

    Again, this is a great keyboard, especially since it has the CT-S1 tones the CT-S400 didn't have, and it has the pitch bend wheel. And the CT-S1000V if you need and want the voice synthesizer functions. But for some the don't need the compact portability the PSR-E473 may be more fitting for them, and the PSR-EW425 for the 76 keys. I think the CT-S1000V will be enough for me for a while, but I think after that, my ultimate will be the Fantom-07, which is more ideal than the 88 keys, and best weighted action keys. It cost a lot more that the great sounding PSR-EW425, but the sonic sound quality and capability is at serious realistic levels, especially the strings and keyboards. Like I said, the great thing is all the choices, features and great sounds and difference price points for everyone to have something they can afford. But even using a PSS-A50, or my JD-XI as a keyboard controller can work with a laptop and DAW on doftware sounds, many that are affirdable and top tier. In your video description, you always provide links to other alternatives. I will also need to get the new, lastest Apple iPad Air coming out soon to use with the CT-S1000V, and after that, the new MacBook Air for the DAW and such. They are almost as powerful as the iPad Pro/MacBook Pro for a lot less. But the Yamaha PSS-A50 Reface series keyboard are ideal to matchbyour meed for compact and portable on the go playing and recording. The V Combo is also still a great keyboard, but the Fantom-07 can fill that gap. *The other day at work, a nice man came to my store to use the restroom carrying a black rectangular hard case with a Casio logo. It looked in goid condition, but slightlyvdirty like the textured finish might get over the years. When He came out I asked him if that was a music keyboard, abd hecreplied yes, he just bought it. He opened the case and showed me. It was an MT-70 that looked in good condition. I told him about the CT-S1/CT-S500/CT-S1000V, but forgot to tell him about your KZread channel before he left. Hopefully, I will see him again. I gotta research the MT-70 now... Casio keeps saying a certain model was their first keyboard, but I am pretty sure I had their first one when I was real young, but can't find anything on it. It came out soon after their first calculators and watches. It was silver, very basic, with a speaker and I believe maybe 4 or 5 voice tones. I think it was full sized keys, but only two octaves. I wish I still had that.

    Very nice story! The MT70 was my second keyboard ever. After the VL1, 1979. Two years later I saw the band "Trio" perform "Da Da Da" live in a small club. They made the Casio VL-1 world famous! The MT70 was also very fun, it had a small 1 track sequencer, with a trick you could make it loop almost endlessly. Then I had the SK1 and SK8, two fun samplers. After that I had the Casio CZ5000, a synthesizer with an 8-track sequencer! But of course that's no comparison to the new products! I have the CT-S 400 and overall I think it's better than many other models! (Roland Go Keys, Korg Triton Tactile and even the Yamaha MX-49) It's nice that Casio has been producing great and inexpensive instruments for so long that whole generations can enjoy 😊

    Very nice and detailed presentation sir. Although I've already purchased mine missing MIDI In/Out is always frustrating. How am I supposed to directly connect my Reface CP to the S500 for use with the whole keyboard? If you have any suggestions please feel free to inform me as it would be a great convenience . Thank you.

    Try DOREMiDi USB MIDI Host Box or Dual USB MIDI Host Box. I saw a video recently covering the use case of standalone connection of two USB MIDI keyboards with the use of this unit, then I ordered it and seeing from the basic tests it does what it's supposed to do.

    If you get a CME WIDI Jack for your 5-Pin midi device, you can connect with the Casio via Bluetooth midi. At least for home use, Bluetooth midi is great. Bluetooth midi works seemlessly between the S500 and my iPad and MacBook Pro without any hardware devices on the Apple side.

    I thought it might have been some sort of a limited deal. But looking at it online, it does say it comes with the Bluetooth dongle. This makes my decision easier too. Thanks for pointing it out! I was already skewing towards the s500 because it includes the funky cts1 tones, which the s400 apparently doesn't.
