Casio CT-S1 vs Casio CT-X700 - Which is Better? 

Thank you for your kind compliments Frank.

I have my Casio CT-S1 on preorder and they should arrive some time in June here in U.S. Won’t be long.

Thank you for your kind compliments.

What's your choice?

Have fun!

Now, 2 years later, I have a feeling that a Go:Keys 3 and 5 review and comparison videos are comming.

Have fun!

do you know any keyboards that are not meant for beginners but still in the same price range?

Which speakers can give more bass on minimal volume?

Great choice!

Are you able to record with onboard recorder?

Lucky you. Have fun!

@@JeremySee I will. This will be my first keyboard, and I've already started learning it with free lessons on RU-vid. It's very fun.

I have the ctx-800!!!!

@@unknownfor3818 how is it throughout your time on it? should i get it

@@unknownfor3818 Do you still enjoy it?

Great choice! 👍🏼

I have the 800. I want the 1 too for the sheer sake of it's design. It's really nice and something great for pull out and play, rehearsal

Have fun!

@@JeremySee Thanks for the review, Jeremy.

It'll be worth it!

Trouble is, I bought the CTX700 because it has a 6 track recorder BUT IT DOESNT WORK!!! IT DOESNT WORK BY THE BOOK AND EVEN THE AGENT AT SWEETWATERS, BLESS HIS HEART❤, FOLLOWED BY THE MANUEL AT HIS END ( for half an hour)AND WE COULDNT GET IT TO WORK, EITHER!😡😡 IT ALSO HAS AN "AUDIO IN" PHONE JACK, BUT NO REGULAR PHONE JACK MIC WORKS THERE, EITHER!😡😡 MAJOR SUCK!! I'm at my wits end on this.😡😭 But as for the rest, it is very good. JUST DONT EXPECT IT TO RECORD OR USE TGE AUDIO INPUT!😡😡

I got the CTS 200 and the ctx 800. The first CTS 200 and 300 boards aren't really gig material far as sound wise. the design however is soooo fresh bro. That's why I got a white one. So basically the design makes up for the sound on the cts200😂😂

Thanks!

Great to hear from you! 😊

Thank you for watching till that far in the video. 🙏🏽

The Galaxy Book Pro isn't cheap! 😁 You noticed the bare feet. 😁

@@JeremySee Yes. Bare feet! I know, but it suits my purpose and multifunctional, though I could get and RD 88 instead. But intergration with my phone and all the specs make itba consideration. But I coukd get a decent high performance laptop for about $600 to 800 with a good processor, RAM and Storage. The Galaxy Book speakers are much, but no problem with BT speakers and such in my audio arsenal.

The earlier video I did was a CT-S300 vs CT-S1. I'm just trying to cover the various choices new buyers have to go through. 😊 It's mostly the older acoustic grand that has textured key tops because ivory was used till not too long ago.

@@JeremySee Ah es, I remember the model now. I'd forgotten ivory keys - I don't recall encountering them except on second-hand pianos. I think ivory keys disappeared on new pianos many years ago, at least in western markets. That's an interesting point - from the outside at least, Singapore seems to sit somewhere between being "Eastern" and "Western" with a leaning more to the latter in most ways except genetically. Academic interest - people are people, and individuals at that, although the world is enriched by the different cultures! Singapore seems a delightful and fascinating blend of both cultural and economic influences - would love to visit, but not possible. Apologies to readers who are reading for the REVIEWS and not personal chit-chat!

Crikey! You are the only one on RU-vid that knows this. 😊 Thanks buddy.

I even asked about it in Casio Music Gear's "Casiotone 2021 Demonstration" live stream and they said that they have no plans in future development.

@@Mr.Face222 That is because Casio sell small numbers of this instead of 61 keys which sell much more, but Yamaha has it.

Indeed. The CT-X700 is very capable.

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth adaptor does not work with the CT-X series unless Casio updates the firmware.

@@JeremySee Too bad. Hopefully it’ll work with the upcoming CT-S400.

Didn't you see my CT-S400 video review where I talked about the BT adaptor?

Jeremy See I must have missed it 😮

Have fun!

Yes, in the works.

Yes, I was waiting for a head-to-head comparison with the default piano sounds on each. I know the CT-S1 has a different custom voice.

The CT-X700 must be lots of fun with all those voices. I think you made the right choice, but I sense you are concerned about sound quality. I don't think the CT-S1 is a true upgrade because these keyboards are too similar. There's an easy fix for you on the sound side if you have a fairly powerful computer. Your keyboard can be connected to a computer via the USB port. You can easily get great VST plug-ins, including pianos samples which are much better than the samples built into professional keyboards. Some are free, but expect to pay for the best quality pianos. Waves Grand Rhapsody, for example, features a Fazioli grand piano and costs only around $30, so it's a good starting point. On a PC you can get a free DAW such as Pro Tools or Cakewalk to host your VSTs. If you ever want to upgrade your action (to do full justice to your VST plug-ins) you can get a weighted action MIDI controller with 73 or 88 keys for less than $400.

@@Zoco101 Thank you for your suggestions sir, I have actually changed my mind now.

CTX800 vs CTS400

obviously.... the guys trying his best

Hola Joe. Lo siento por no ser Jeremy xD, pero, he investigado bastante del tema, pues quiero comprarme algo mejor que el CT-X700. Yo me compre uno hace menos de un año. Es un lindo teclado, PERO, las teclas ... =S, no me gustan. Hacen ruido y molesta. Los teclado baratos (sobre todo los casio no modernos y baratos) te vienen con esas teclas. Creo que el CT-S300 quiza ya trae mejores teclas que el CT-X700 (pero el S300 suena horrible). Como consejo, para que no te arrepientas, ahorra un poquitito más como para comprarte un CT-S400. Te recomiendo eso porque para juzgar un buen teclado, debes considerar varias cosas. Para mi lo primero es la calidad del sonido (y en especial, el sonido del piano) (te recomiendo el sonido de piano del casio CT-X700,X3000,X5000, CT-S1,S400 o superior, o Yamaha PSR-E373,E473. Estamos en el 2022 y no te recomiendo aspirar a algo menos que eso; además, si entendí bien, el CT-X700 tiene la peor calidad de sonido de piano, versus los otros que te recomiendo, pero aun así, tiene un sonido bonito). Lo segundo es la calidad de las teclas (en eso es malo el CT-X700, por eso te recomiendo los casio modernos, CT-S1, CT-S400 y superior, estos tienen nuevas teclas (y a Jeremy les gusto mucho), el CT-X3000 o X5000 tambien debes de considerarlos, pues tienen teclas mejores o mucho mejores que el X700, todos los Yamaha e373, e473 tienen mejores teclas que los casio, segun los gustos de Jeremy). Un punto que a mi me importa mucho ultimamente es que los parlantes sean buenos (los parlantes del CT-X700 no son muy buenos (solo 5W), pero se supone que los modernos CT-S1,S500 tienen un nuevo diseño (parlante y amplificador de 5W) y me parece que vale la pena considerarlos). Por ultimo, el CT-S1 es un teclado MUY INCOMPLETO, creo que te decepcionaras a la larga por tener muy pocas funciones de los "arranger"; pero el S1 tiene sonidos suculentos (quiza le gana en calidad de sonidos al S400, pero el S500 ya trae todos los sonidos del CT-S1, y el S500 si es un teclado minimamente completo (arranger basico)). Si es tu primer teclado, y quieres ir a lo seguro, el CT-S400 quiza es el mejor punto de partida (Si tienes mas dinero, considera mucho un CT-S500, CT-X3000 or un yamaha PSR473 o quiza un korg EK-50, este korg tiene la mejor calidad de teclas de los que te recomiendo). Si sabes que la musica te gusta mucho, "y estas seguro de ser un músico", de frente te puedes ir por un Yamaha PSR-SX700 (o un SX600, mas economico) (o evalua a los korg PA, que no me convencen aun), pues con eso te ahorras como $250 y vas en serio por esas bestias de $1200 o $1600(que son un manjar de sonidos). En lo personal, si quieres invertir poco dinero, y quieres algo profesional a larga, comprate un teclado barato para praticar (S400 ejemplo),y luego puedes optar en un futuro por un controlador MIDI, que junto con instrumentos virtuales (como keyscape o Komplete Kontrol software) son una locura!, con tu DAW, le ganan a cualquier teclado profesional, con ciertas desventajas claro (latencia, computadora, etc)). Si quieres algo mas barato que el S400, solo en ese caso considera un X700 o un S300. Los teclados de 76, yamaha EW310 y EW425, debes tambien de considerarlos (pues te interesa el piano, y a mas teclas mejor). Sobre lo de la tecla de "octava+", la mejor implementacion en teclado barato son yamaha e473 o ew425 (tienen la tecla dedicada para eso, sin teclas SHIFT y cosas por el estilo), pero incluso sin esa tecla, sospecho que no debes tener problemas pues hay formas de suplirla creo. Eso si, no podras quiza imitar las 88 teclas del piano. Yo estoy aprendiendo aun, y tengo la impresion de que NADA reemplaza las 88 teclas de un piano (ni con octavas+-), pero quiza un experto puede desmentirme. (PD: yo creo que me comprare un PSR-EW425 o E473 o un CT-x5000 (usado xD), pues NO QUIERO SOLO 5W,) Tengo un Korg B1SP (88 teclas) (de 24W de amp) y la diferencia es ABISMAL versus el X700 (en calidad de sonido, potencia, etc.), por eso quiero un teclado portatil y lo mas barato posible, que se acerque un poco a la calidad de ese piano digital B1SP. Tambien considera comprarte un piano digital (las 88 teclas son fantasticas, lo malo es que usualmente no tienen las funciones de los teclados arrenger). Investiga tambien el DGX-670 que parece un cosa unica (yo preferiria un arranger y un piano dig. por serparado). Tambien te puedo aconsejar de piano jaja. Suerte leyendo este testamento. (si me equivoque tipeando, me preguntas nomás para corregirme).

I read it all, good review.

Yup! That comparison is in the works.

Ct s1

Pun-ny!

In South East Asia, supply is plentiful. 😁

@@JeremySee Yes, I agree but he price in my country is horrible, 100 usd more😞

@@JeremySee We have no Yamaha DGX-670, no Casio CT-S1, no Casio CT-S400 besides the ones given out for review. We do have stuff like the Yamaha YC-88...the new, more expensive stuff.

I talked about the key action within the video. Go watch again.

And listes. If your ear is wworng, buy a casio infantil. No differencd

No it doesn’t

Ano binili mo? Planning ako ct s1

@@Sugaranch . Ako din planning ng cts1. Nakabili ka na?

Balita s ct s1 yan nyo? Nalilito ako kung psr e373 or ct s1

Guys ano rin binili nio? 2 months na akong ndi maka decide sa ct s1, ct s400, ctx700 at psr e373 😢😢😢

Err.... The piano sound I demonstrated IS THE DEFAULT piano tone when you turn on the keyboards...

Err.... We use USA price. CT-S1 $199 USD & CT-X3000 $299 USD

@@JeremySee Here in the Philippines, they are both around $300 USD. I guess the CT-S1 is kinda overpriced here. Probably coz it's a new release.

PH pricing is erratic and random 😉

Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope Casio is reading this.
