CT-S1 RD Casiotone Piano-Keyboard

Product Information

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

Owned by former band and road manager Kevin Winder, the Mercury has a solid reputation for providing the best quality sound in a convenient and well-equipped venue. This ethos extends to making sure that only the best bands, both established and up-and-coming, are invited to play, resulting in top quality music nights. Maintain a professional and friendly entry point to the general public, customers, dealers and suppliers, both telephonically and face-to-face. The CT-S1’s AiX Sound Source delivers sound quality that you’d expect from a keyboard costing hundreds, if not thousands more. Power on theCT-S1, and you’ll be presented with a dynamic, expressive German concert grand piano placed in a virtual concert hall. You’ll also find essentials like electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, and more, with Advanced Tones adding complex layers that react to your playing. A collection of vintage keyboard sounds is also included, featuring recreations of timeless, sought-after keyboard instruments. We’ve even included classic Casio sounds from our VL, VZ and CZ series. Jesse has had a career that many singer-songwriters would love. He has pursued his music with single-minded determination, and it has definitely paid off.Yo diría que este teclado tiene un perfil muy concreto de usuario: Adultos o jóvenes que buscan tocar por placer. Que no quieren sonar a "Mira Antonio que gracioso, aprendió a tocar cumpleaños feliz con las dos manos" si no más bien a "¿¿Y tú desde cuando sabes tocar el piano??". Que no quieren dejarse el sueldo en un instrumento, y no aspiran a tocar en locales, en una banda, o ser estudiantes de música en una escuela. Tampoco estás buscando tener 20mil tipos de sonido o acompañamientos, solamente, sonidos de piano, que no suenen a juguete. Además, si te compras este teclado, es porque NO le vas a dedicar una horilla al mes, si no que, te gustaría aprender a tocar en serio algunas cosas (sin pretender ser Kylelandry) y pretendes dedicarle ratos libres entre semana. Si aspiras a menos, estarás desperdiciando un buen instrumento y te recomendaría algo más económico. Este teclado tampoco tiene mucha potencia, por lo que con él, pretendes tocar solo para ti, o para algunas personas en un espacio pequeño. Aunque siempre le puedes conectar altavoces y hacer que el vecino te odie. También es perfecto si vas a pasar el 99% del tiempo usando auriculares y no tienes mucho espacio en casa para dejarlo fijo. In fact, the more time you spend with the CT-S1, the more you realise what a well-thought-out keyboard it is. Need a metronome? You’ve got one. Want to record yourself playing? One button press is all it takes. You even get a music stand, though not one that looks particularly attractive or feels like it could take an awful amount of weight. So far Jesse has managed to record four albums, but that’s just a start! He’s still in the prime of his career, and it would seem as though nothing is slowing him down.

Create an impressive sound. Casio's new AiX sound source has been redesigned from top to bottom to create the best keyboard sound that modern technology can produce. With high-performance DSP effects and master EQ, it produces sounds with greater clarity and expression than previously found in a portable keyboard. Added to this are the new Bass Reflex speakers, to deliver a powerful bass sound that will project your sound with strength. The sound itself is rich and surrounding, thanks to 64 note polyphony to let all your notes ring out true. Vary your sound with touch sensitive keys, which you can adapt with three different touch response levels. This will replicate the way that an acoustic piano's dynamics are altered by how strongly you press on the keys. Add expression to your performance. Fun voices and digital effects Over the years he has played countless live shows; ranging from music festivals and parties to selling out venues. He has honed his skill as a performer and audiences always leave with a smile on their faces. Jesse is known to give 150% to every performance! It’s a big thumbs-up from us, then - it may have been around for more than 40 years, but with products like this coming to market, the Casiotone brand seems stronger than ever. He currently performs with the Jimmy Nevis band, electro-pop quartet TheCity and SA ska band Trenton and Free Radicals.Fortunately, your favourite setup can be saved for easy recall later on, as can your favourite tones. Performance & Verdict

The CT-S1 uses Casio's acclaimed AiX sound technology to produce the voices, which is the same high quality as found in the popular CTX3000 & CTX5000 keyboards. The CT-S1 has a total of 61 sounds, included some voices sampled from the very first Casio keyboards & synthesizers from the early 1980s.And then there are the speakers, which - we’ll admit - sound far better than we thought they would, even at higher volumes. There’s little or no evidence of distortion; in fact, if you connect up a smartphone (either via the audio input or Bluetooth adapter) they’re good enough to be used for music listening, too. You can, of course, play along with any steamed- or wired-in audio - a very welcome feature.
