About this listing
On
Your Own or with a Band. For Rehearsing, or for Playing Live. One Keyboard for
Everything. For practicing at home, for songwriting, for rehearsals, and for
the stage. With the Casio CT-S500 Keyboard, the keyboardist has everything they
need. An all-around instrument, offering high-quality sound and rich
expressivity. It’s fully featured for however you perform - whether it’s live
on stage or streaming over the web. From the moment you first try one, this will
be the musical partner you’ll always want to have around.
Sounds That Just Want to Be Played
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 music with sounds that just want to be played.
One Keyboard, Multiple Uses, Endless Possibilities
With musicians performing in an ever-widening array of settings, the fact
that you can't always choose where you’re going to play makes the instrument
you use all the more important. Maybe you'll want something with a built-in
speaker so you can practice at home or compose. For rehearsals and gigs, the
keyboard has standard line-out jacks for easy connection to a PA or other
external equipment. What’s more, the compact size of the CT-S500 makes it super
portable. With all your bases covered, you've got a musical partner with
endless possibilities.
Great Sound - What Every Musician Expects from a Great Instrument
What makes a great instrument if not the great sounds it produces. The
CT-S500 is powered by Casio’s advanced AiX Sound Source. Developed specifically
for instruments focused on sound, it is capable of generating a wide range of
high-quality and highly expressive tones. The CT-S500 additionally offers a set
of ADVANCED TONES, designed for maximum expressive creativity and showcasing
the power of the AiX Sound Source. Also built-in is a collection of CASIO
CLASSIC TONES, hand-picked from the long line of classic Casio keyboards. All
in all, the CT-S500 contains 800 tones for you to explore and enjoy.
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.
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.
Ready, Steady, Connect
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 another
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
smartphone or tablet.
