How to enjoy Casiotone CT-S500
It's a good sound, so I always want to play it forever.
When choosing an instrument, sound cannot be compromised ... With the CT-S500, which uses Casio's original AiX sound source, you can perform as you wish. It has a built-in high-quality tone that pursues expressiveness with a focus on sound as an instrument. With the active DSP that can be operated in real time with the control knob, it is also possible to apply different effects to each tone. Find your own music with sounds that you always want to play forever, which is well-established by professional musicians.
Because one unit can be used for multiple purposes.
Dreams and opportunities expand.
Now that the playing field of musicians continues to diversify, it is an indispensable condition for musical instruments to choose where to play. For example, use the built-in speaker for home practice and songwriting. For rehearsals and live performances, you can connect to external devices such as keyboard amplifiers and mixers using the standard jack line-out jack. Of course, the compact CT-S500 makes it easy to move. Expand your dreams and opportunities with an instrument that can be used in multiple ways with one unit as a partner.
Good soundAll The musician Ask Because it is a condition of a good musical instrument.
Conditions for a good instrument is just one word, good sound. The AiX sound source installed in the CT-S500, which was born from Casio's highest peak and cutting-edge technology, has achieved a number of high-quality tones that pursue expressiveness by sticking to the sound of a musical instrument. In addition, ADVANCED TONES is a novel and highly expressive tone that maximizes the potential of the AiX sound source. Please enjoy 800 kinds of tones including CASIO CLASSIC TONES which carefully selected and recorded the tones of Casio's successive keyboard synthesizers.
Freedom of expression Go up dramatically
Various effects.
The CT-S500 is also attractive because it allows you to apply various effects such as compressor, phaser, distortion, and wah to the tone. Built-in Casio's original 100 types of 4 DSP effects. Equipped with an active DSP function that allows you to freely assign parameters to the control knob and dynamically change the sound in real time. In addition, it has built-in reverb, chorus, and delay as system effects. It is also possible to apply different effects to multiple tones, such as a layer that overlaps two notes, a split that separates the tones on the left and right of the keyboard, and a melody part and accompaniment part during automatic accompaniment. In addition, you can achieve smooth and natural tone switching while retaining the effect sound of the previous tone. Please experience this instrument with a high degree of freedom of expression that can respond to the attention to detail in the sound.

Song writing Also playing on stage
Supports multi with one unit.
Another feature of the CT-S500 is that it has a full range of functions for connecting to peripheral equipment and related equipment. For example, since it is equipped with a standard jack line-out terminal, it can be smoothly connected to peripheral equipment such as keyboard amplifiers and mixers. You can also turn off the sound from the built-in speaker, expanding the field of activity such as recording or playing on stage. You can also use the CT-S500 as a MIDI data input / edit controller by connecting it to a MIDI-compatible device. Also, if you connect it to a smartphone or tablet with the Bluetooth® audio function, the CT-S500 becomes a Bluetooth® speaker, and you can use it for listening to your favorite music. In addition, you can use the app to cancel melody and accompaniment, change pitch and tempo, enjoy playing along with the song, and practice remembering and playing with your ears.
Though it is compactMore than it looks
Powerful sound.
The CT-S500, which fulfills I want to play right now, uses a speaker unit that has evolved with Casio's technology and a unique bass reflex mechanism Horizontal Bass-Reflex System. A powerful bass has been achieved. With the surround function that allows you to experience the spread of the sound and the volume sync equalizer function that automatically adjusts the sound quality according to the volume, you can hear a solid sound even with a small sound. Experience the deep sound and excitement of the sound, which is contrary to its compact appearance.
A sampling function that allows you to immediately turn your ideas into music.
You can capture your favorite sounds from your smartphone or tablet as two types of tones, sampling melody tones and sampling drum tones. Sampling melody tone allows you to play a melody with the captured sound. Sampling drum tone can change the sound of each part of one drum set to the captured sound. The maximum sampling time is about 10 seconds for melody tone and about 3 seconds for drum tone. You can capture your favorite sounds such as your own voice, pet's bark, and environmental sounds. Furthermore, if you combine it with an active DSP, you can challenge more original musical expression.
Even though it is high spec Because it's compactEasy to carry.
High-spec sound and functions. However, the CT-S500 is also attractive because it is compact and easy to carry, which is convenient for moving to studios and live venues. Of course, you don't have to create a fixed position just for the CT-S500 in your room. With a strap, you can play even if you don't have a stand or desk.
In real time Can be controlledSimple operation panel.
The controls such as buttons, dials, and control knobs are minimized, and the operation panel is simply arranged along with the LCD screen. Therefore, you can use it speedily in real time. It has high operability such as My Setup that allows you to save settings such as tones, rhythms, and effects and recall them immediately, and you can customize the five buttons linked to the LCD screen and the home screen to your liking. .. This enables more diverse and free musical expression. Simple and compact. However, with the CT-S500, which is full of wants, create your own way of enjoying music more than ever.
