5.0 out of 5 stars It was this or the Yamaha PRSE473
I am a mostly a guitar player but wanted to add some keys to the gigs. I did my keyboard research for a month. And I did find the Yamaha raw piano sounds a bit better than the Casio, that is where it ends and why I picked the Casio. First off, its a much smaller footprint, not bulky! Easy to move around. The key action is very good and I don't like too many buttons. For use, I need a Piano, a Pipe Organ and a couple of other sounds such as Harmonica, Flute and Synth. No Bluetooth needed, no MIDI needed. I'm sure it does that just fine as well but I don't have a use for them. It connects directly to our PA, Stereo 1/4 jacks. The on board speakers are not that great but for learning and practice, fine. For jamming it's always goes to the PA. And it sounds GREAT thru the PA. There is a learning curve to use the controls, sub menus, knobs, DSP, programming and saving the different instrument sounds and tweaking for live use. But once you get it, it's easy to program and easy to switch modes. I use the USB port for powering a goose neck book lamp which comes in handy for darkened stages or nighttime use. All and all, it does the job.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very playable-best features and sounds for me at this price
I went in and tested this for keybed feel against the Yamaha PSR e473. Both are excellent but this one had the best feeling keys (for me). The slightly less wide format vs the 473 makes it more portable, and it has all the hardware outputs I need (excluding midi (it does do midi by USB)). It also blurs the line between synth and piano, while leaning towards piano (which is what I need). So I can apply effects almost like filters, and get a more organic sound (sometimes pianos make other synthetic instruments like horns sound too isolated, or "plucked". This blends sounds better. it is NOT a fully weighted piano like keybed, but it felt good. If you need a piano-piano look at Yamaha or others that try for more of the fully weighted feel. If you do the other stuff in DAWs software, and play a bit with synth, but mainly want a piano...this is good. If you like the feel and sound of this keyboard, but don't need the semi-sythesizer features get the Casio CT S400. If you want to do live/wedding/production stuff, you might want the Yamaha 473
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice arranger keyboard. Simple and complex at the same time - it is up to you where you take it.
A nice solid keyboard at a good price for a novice like me. Love the organ sounds. Still exploring the various sounds, and abilities of this keyboard. Large selection of tones, the ability to split the keyboard is a really nice feature. Take the time to look through the manual, it will be worth the effort.
5.0 out of 5 stars All the sounds you'll need except for DJ
If there are DJ sounds on this I haven't found them, but it's super convenient and easy to carry around. The only trouble is the power supply is unique, so the many plugs I have for my other keyboard won't work for this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good sound, cool legacy name!
I’m not sure of my presets vs. registrations, loading presets would be hard during a song it seems like.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great keyboard
This really helped my husband who has always been very musical and played the guitar for many years but his arthritis got so bad he couldn't make the guitar chords work but this Keyboard really inspired him to get back into his music.
5.0 out of 5 stars I’m gonna have so much fun with this!!
Wow, wow, wow! What can I say?! This keyboard left me speechless. I wasn’t expecting much when I bought it, but let me tell you, it's amazing. Not only is it sleek and portable, but the keys are also a dream to play on. I own both a Yamaha MX49 and Yamaha PSR-E373, and the Casio CTS-500 keys have already become my favorite (out of my portable boards). The matte and lightly textured keys are a delight—I didn’t even care that they aren’t weighted, that’s how great the touch is!That's not all - the sound quality is high quality and professional grade. As a die-hard Yamaha user, I was impressed to find that the grand piano, electric piano, and synth sounds on the CTS-500 are just as good, if not better than my other keyboards. The acoustic instruments still sound better on my Yamaha synth, but you can only ask for so much from one board.Speaking of sounds… I've only had a few hours to play around with it, and I'm already dreading navigating through all the sounds - there are just so many and the minimal interface doesn’t make it efficient. Although I’m sure with some practice and repetition, I’ll get used to it. Here’s a quick tip from my short experience using it: long-pressing the category and +/- buttons make scrolling faster—don’t be like me when I first turned it on and try to sequentially click through 800 sounds!I also love the "My Setup" and banks feature, which make it easy to store tones and rhythms; according to the manual, you can use them for other things, too. I'm still figuring out all the features, but once I do, the Casio CTS-500 will definitely become my go-to keyboard for quick gigs and jam sessions!Overall, I highly recommend the Casio CTS-500 keyboard. The price is unbeatable for what you’re getting. Don't hesitate - just buy it! I had a million other keyboards in my cart (Roland Go Keys, Korg Ek-50, Yamaha PSR-473, to name a few), and I had the expectation that I’d regret my decision… I don’t.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for the buck!
Bought a CT-S1 a year ago. Loved it but only 61 voices and no good way the add effects. This one the CT-S500, has 800 voices and and adjustable effects including a pitch wheel and Modulation knob. 1/4" phono out. Both have the Casio A1X sound generator and they really sound good. Also a rhythm macine included..
Buena relación precio-calidad
No es un teclado profesional pero definitivamente es el mejor en su gama.Tiene salida de audio para conexión a mezcladora lo cual se agradece y al conectarlo a un buen equipo de audio, el sonido mejora bastante y permite su uso en aplicaciones profesionales.Sonidos bastante reales, ritmos variados y bien construidos.Facil de utilizar.
Buen producto
Llego a tiempo y muy bien. Es un buen instrumento
Excelentisímo
Es un teclado excelentísimo, con funciones minimalistas. Aunque esto puede abrumar al principio por el hecho de tener que estar accediendo a submenús constantemente, se puede acostumbrar a esta situación rápidamente. Solo le pongo la pega de que no se puede enviar audio vía USB, solo órdenes MIDI. Pero tiene mejores sonidos que otros teclados de la misma gamma pero más caros
