Casio CT-S500 61 Key Arranger Keyboard

Casio CT-S500 61 Key Arranger Keyboard Casio CT-S500 61 Key Arranger Keyboard – The Casiotone CT-S500 delivers studio-quality sounds and features in an ultra-portable, easy-to-use keyboard. Smart and customizable, the CT-S500 is ready to bring your music to life at home, on stage, in the studio, or anywhere else. When choosing an instrument, there are some compromises you just can’t make. Playing the CT-S500 featuring Casio’s own AiX Sound Source, you’ll get exactly the performance you imagine. It’s a keyboard focused on sound, offering a range of rich tones created with expressivity in mind. Thanks to Casio’s Active DSP, effect parameters can be assigned to control knobs and tweaked in real time, adding greater dynamism and expression to your performance. Discover your own music with sounds that just want to be played. The CT-S500 features a range of on-board 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. When it comes to system-wide effects, the CT-S500 offers reverb, chorus and delay. And because two independent effect chains can be applied to two separate tones, you can switch back and forth seamlessly. Even when layering two sounds or splitting the keyboard, you can still apply separate effect chains to each tone. When using the auto accompaniment feature, you can apply different effects to the lead (melody) part and the accompaniment part. Take your self-expression to the next level with an instrument that’s all about the sound. The CT-S500 plays nice with other gear, too, offering a range of connection options. The line out jacks let you easily connect to a PA system, keyboard amp, or other equipment for live performances, recording sessions or other setting, and the built-in speakers can be muted if required. Connect other MIDI-compatible equipment and use the CT-S500 as a MIDI sound source or as a MIDI controller. You can even use the CT-S500 as a Bluetooth® speaker with your smart device. Use in conjunction with Casio’s dedicated app for practice, muting melody lines or accompaniment, changing pitch or tempo, or simply playing along when learning by ear.
