Description
- Casio’s Casiotone CT-S500 packs a powerful sonic punch with 800 lifelike sounds in a sleek, highly portable package. It leverages 61 full-size, touch-responsive keys, making for an absolute joyous playing experience, no matter your preferred style. If you’re looking to practice or compose with a backing track, Casio has you covered with 243 full-accompaniment rhythms that include acoustic drums, global instruments, bass lines, drum machines, horn ensembles, and more. Once you have your ideas laid down, the CT-S500 offers incredibly deep editing tools — three assignable knobs can be programmed to adjust filter, effects, and modulation.
Sophistication in a Compact, Portable Design
One of the CT-S500's most attractive qualities is its compact size; lightweight (at 10 lb) and portable to make carrying it to the studio or stage a breeze. It's an advantage you can appreciate at home too, especially if you like to set up and play whenever and wherever the mood takes you. There's even a strap pin—so no keyboard stand, table, or desk is required.
800 High-Quality AiX-Powered Sounds
The keyboard contains 800 sounds for you to explore and enjoy. Included is a set of Advanced Tones designed for maximum expression and creativity for showcasing the power of the AiX Sound Source. There is also a collection of Casio Classic Tones handpicked from the company's long line of classic Casio keyboards.
Effects to Take Your Musical Expression to the Next Level
The CT-S500 features a range of onboard effects, from compressor and phaser to distortion and wah, to further sculpt your sound. Choose from 100 types of DSP effects for each of the four available effect chains, and assign effect parameters to the physical knobs to dynamically control the sound in real time.
Small Size, Big Sound
Switch on the CT-S500 and you’re ready to start playing. The built-in speakers are designed around Casio’s advanced Horizontal Bass-Reflex System, which delivers powerful low-end sound in spite of the keyboard’s compact dimensions.
