Timeless Instruments Reborn
We've analyzed the sound and structure of vintage musical instruments used in hit songs from the past to the present, and brought them to life using our unique technology. We've even included CASIO CLASSIC TONES. We've captured the iconic sounds of our own rich lineage of keyboard and synthesizers, such as the Casiotone 201, to celebrate the 1980s debut of our electronic musical instruments. Tune into the authentic sound of great musicians.
Sound That Brings the Room to Life
Experience dynamic sounds with the CT-S1's newly developed built-in speaker system. The innovative Horizontal Bass Reflex technology and specially designed speakers provide clear, crisp notes with a powerful bass 'punch' in a chic and compact form. Take your musical immersion experience a step further and lose yourself in lush soundscapes amidst the full power of surround sound. Maintain superior sound quality at any decibel with the Volume-Sync EQ function that automatically adjusts the presence of bass and treble, even at low volumes.

With the Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor WU-BT10*, you can pair your smartphone or tablet to your keyboard, and listen to or play along with your favorite songs through the CT-S1's powerful speaker system. The Chordana Play app allows you to personalize your experiences. In Audio Mode, change the key and adjust the tempo. Using the 'cancel melody' or 'cancel accompaniment' buttons, turn your favorite music into a backing track and play along. Lesson Mode utilizes the MIDI capability to individualize your lessons and make learning fun.
