As a pianist, I LOVE this keyboard! There are probably better MIDI controllers and better multi-function keyboards out there. But for a lightweight practice piano that I can travel with, it’s perfect! The action of the keys is the best that I’ve experienced outside of weighted or semi-weighted. It’s super easy to carry but the sound and feel is the most piano-like I’ve found. I could easily gig with this unit, too, since I found the right amp cable. So if you are looking for the lightest, most portable piano-like keyboard, this is the one.
@@MrLibardoq Hard to say, I didn’t do a side-by-side comparison. But my usual piano is a Boston grand, and I also own a Roland FP-80 digital piano so I’m pretty particular about sound quality. My piano teacher bought 10 of them for her music school (for the beginning students). I was so surprised to find that we chose the same keyboard!
I had this piano for about a year and only thought it had 28 sounds to choose from... but there's over 60?! There's so many functions that are not intuitivly found. Though, I'm grateful for the video instructions, because the written instruction manual is hard to understand in comparison
@@samuelnerick well, although I like the sleek design of the cts1 the ct-s500 model is actually the one I prefer as it's more in depth. So a cts500 with 73 keys and better action would be perfect for me.
@@jerryx2000 I checked out some demos on the Roland go. Interesting I must say. Some different sounds from this casiotone. I play a Roland Rhodes as well but it's too heavy to carry along all the time. I think in a way Roland go and Casiotone Cts1 are quite similar. Both have no weight piano keys. I had to get used to it.
😄 How did they fit a piano into this keyboard. Sounds better than the real thing. I got it as a gift for Xmas and absolutely love the *sound quality* 👍
I do enjoy my CT-S1 very much. I got the CT-S500 at first but didn't like the look of it and sent it back for the CT-S1. To be honest, mainly because of the looks and I mostly just wanted a few nice sounds. That said, I wish that Casio would make something like the CT-S500 with the same great looks of the CT-S1. Why can't we have power AND style? 🙂
many musicians, especially in Latin America, are looking for a cost-effective, quality and value-added synthesizer that is interesting, the xwp1 is an Excel keyboard, but it would be interesting to have a synthesizer, with the tones of the new Aix tone generator, believe the situation global current, especially here in Brazil, a stylish synthesizer with good tones would be very well received, we have the CTX series but something without speakers would be perfect.
@02:33 video caption say to press the C3 key (the 3rd C note) to turn on Surround tone layering. But then the C2 button is pressed in the video. Same with Surround variations: video caption says press E3 and the E2 key is pressed in the video.
@@michellemonet4358 he told that the c3 is the third C in the keyboard, but it's actually the second since the first one is the C2 (meaning is the second octave C)
I just got the CT-S1 and it’s a great keyboard. A lot of fun to play. I love the acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and the organs. Is it possible to connect the CT-S1 to a PA system or amp? If so, what cable would be best?
I like the Casiotone CT-S1, but it's not a full-size keyboard and I often make mistakes. I hope Casio will update to a full size keyboard (12key=165mm). Does anyone know how to adapt the keyboard to different sizes?
@@Karen-wp4hy It has two Wurlitzers EPs, one has a slower Vibrato (Vintage EP2) and the other has a faster Vibrato (Advanced EP2). They are in the E Piano 2 bank of sounds.
Quando vocês vão lançar um teclado arranjador de samplers para substituir o MZX 300 e 500 pois eles já estão ultrapassados demais e a concorrência está chegando junto? Por favor quando lançar cria Uma opção sem a tela touch pois ela não ajuda nada os deficientes visuais!
There are other Casio keyboards with the split function. This one does have at least upright bass below piano as a split built in (A2). I think it has to do with lack of a screen that allows more functionality.
Can plug in the Casio CT-s1 into a guitar FX pedal? I think the Casio only has a 3.5 mm headphone out, and obviously the guitar pedal has quarter inch input
Why do I have to “recall my settings” every time I turn on the machine. Why doesn’t it just…say on the settings it was last set to. You know…like every other electronic device that exists
Hi there, i have a CT-S1 for some time now ans i love it but the 61 keys are limiting my work so i want to use the CT-S1 as a sound module and play it with my 88 and 76 keys midi keyboards. As the CT-S1 has o DIN midi IN i purchased a Kenton Midi/USB interface. It works and the CT-S1 responds to my playing but the sounds are cut short, even with the sustain pedal. What could be the ussue here? Are there some settings in the CT-S1 ? I already swithed the bluetooth off but no change.
Yes, portability is great with battery power, but: why AA batteries?? Nowadays, that USB charging is about everywhere, why AA batteries?? Why not a built in battery with USB charging like every phone has?? Just why??
