Hi Jeremy, I don't hate, my opinion differs greatly from yours. You proclaim Yamaha PSR-E343 keyboard as vastly superior to Casio CT-X700. Yet have not compared sounds, styles etc. This holds no credibility for me.
Damon, I didn't say the PSR-E363 is vastly superior to the CT-X700. Did you watch my earlier video, the one where I unboxed the Casio? I said Casio is much better feature wise than the Yamaha. I am not recommending my viewers buy the CT-X700 here because a very basic function of any credible keyboard, that which is the adjustment of volume balance between layers and split is missing. I didn't say the Casio is bad. I'm just saying do NOT buy. Things may change should Casio release a firmware to patch this critical flaw. In my later video, I did say that the CT-700 is great value if you are using it for gigs in a band. But for the purpose of most of my subscribers here, who are using keyboards as an arranger keyboard, the feature basically makes this keyboard a no go.
Hi Jeremy (correction, thank you, 363, not 343 as I erroneously mentioned) - there's no clearer way to say one product is superior to another, than by saying "DON'T buy the other". Whilst I agree Split/Layer Part volume adjustment is great to have for some players, the majority of purchasers of keyboards at this price don't adjust volumes between parts. And there are preset combination tones (e.g. Strings Piano #014), already nicely balanced. CT-X3000 and CT-X5000 offer part balance and tone editing, truly superb speakers systems, 42-channel mixer etc - for not a lot more money (market dependent, I guess). In my experience, it's actually difficult to compare the PSR-E363 and CT-X700/800 - the sound quality and pro-level DSP effects (already programmed for each sound) of many of the 600 tones on CT-X700/800 are far superior. The rhythms styles and accompaniments sound better than the PSR-E363 and keyboards from all other brands costing a LOT more. CT-X700/800's 6-track recorder (vs 2-track on PSR-E363). Thanks for allowing me to share my experience and opinions on your channel, anyway.
You probably should have titled it "Why I would NOT buy...". Your review suggests you like everything except for the inability to change each split/layer volume. This would not be a deal breaker for most people, especially looking at the price difference.
This is definitely a deal breaker for an arranger keyboard. If you just want piano sound then dont buy arranger keyboard. If you buy this even for the piano sound, you're way underutilizing it. Better go buy alesis recital if you dont need the arranger function.
So just around 2 days ago We went to a local Keyboard distributor and they sold only Casio, personally there were never any Yamaha distributors around me at any distance so the PSR series weren't an easy option. I was only looking for a good keyboard with General MIDI support so I could playback VSTs and record to my pc using MIDI, Full-size keys, Touch Response (I wasn't looking for Weighted keys because here where I'm from, keyboards that have that feature are way over my budget weirdly-enough.), and hopefully good and loud speakers and decent built-in sounds, but those were all the essentials. Originally I wanted to buy a Casio ctk-3500 because it was very cheap here and I thought it fulfilled enough of my needs, I wasn't really trying to focus on the built-in samples and sounds and features because I was focusing to do that all through MIDI, I just needed at least a 61-key MIDI keyboard essentially, I would rather buy the ctk-3500 with all these very essential features than get a midi keyboard that's either less keys or not full-size keys for the same price. So I went to the store and they told me they had already sold out of CTK-3500s and they weren't planning to sell any more of them, so they introduced me to the CT-X700, I already knew that this was way better but first I had to look at the price, I was paying for a portion of the keyboard based on my budget and my mom added on what I needed if my budget wasn't enough, (My original budget was only for the ctk-3500 at least which is about $125-150.... And I'm still a teenager without self-reliant and consistent income.). So they showed me the ct-x700 and I thought I liked it, I liked the sounds, or at least definitely better than nothing, and I knew I preferred it over the ctk-3500 but I kept thinking about the price, it was orignally selling for around $320 here, so already a huge jump, but luckily it was heavily discounted so it only came around at $260, so We went away for a little bit then went back to finally buy it, I was very excited as it was the first time I would be able to practice piano with my own keyboard for the last probably 9-10 years. Unfortunately they told us that they didn't have stock at the time and they couldn't sell the demo display model, bummer... So they offered us if We wanted the CT-X800 instead, and as you said, very little features added onto it plus a little very minimal design change (Just like the color of the labels...) and so We asked the price, originally it was running for around $380, over-priced but a normal gap here where I'm from, We weren't comfortable with the original price but very very luckily they told us that it was actually getting a discount of 10% plus extra discounts from promos, so the keyboard only came around to be like $282. So rather than coming home without a keyboard (I've been waiting a long time and where We went to find this distributor is actually very far from our house and considering it's currently summer and I don't have enough willpower to commute to such a far distance and to bring home a huge box with a keyboard.) We bought it and I came home... Now when they tested it was perfectly-good but then I opened it myself after bringing it home after a few hours, the upper D key was stuck up, like it popped up or something. I was quite disappointed to see this and I imagine this was caused by either the way it was placed inside our car or the way it was upside down when I opened the box, but nonetheless I went through the unboxing extra-carefully so I couldn't place it all on myself as blame. Either way, the keyboard was amazing, but I guess that's coming from the standpoint of a person who is only exposed to either toy keyboards or real grand pianos out of his range so I don't really have any relative opinion on the same range of product. But all I know is that I'm satisfied and especially with the price difference between this (in our case though, it was heavily discounted.) so I was satisfied.... I couldn't really complain about the original price since goods, especially already-expensive electronics are so expensive that some products I could tell you were triple the original srp and I would think it was just the normal way things went. But seeing the situation in other countries where the prices are rather standard, yeah I think it's complete non-sense to buy the CT-X800 for it's price comparing the the CT-X700, yes I get that the CT-X700 is supposed to be the entry-level keyboard for many people, but either way even if it was $20 or $100 (in the US) it's not worth it to label it a higher product for the "extra features" you get, the CT-X700 is amazing for it's price in my opinion, again not the best price value but better than a lot of keyboards in it's range, and especially for Casio, but the CT-X800 is way too little for the extra price you're paying, if I were in the US I would have rather bought one of the CDP keyboards than get the CT-X800 over the X700. But that's coming from a very-limited point of view, but either way, whether you want them for the arranger features or not, the only thing you're getting is the ability to play music from a USB flash drive and the pitch bend wheel... Absolute bleh especially for people in the US.
Despite the layer/split flaw (i personaly don't need these to make my songs), many of the new sounds in the CT-X700 are much better than the ones on Yamaha Psr e363/e463
I still think the ctx700 is still making everyone saying "the PSR-E363 sucks!" but the ctx700 is newer so maybe Yamaha will create a model with better sounds for keyboards around $179. The E363 is better if.. You need less world styles/rhythms Adjust dual/split volume Maybe if you think the Sweet! voices are very usable You can connect an app to access a pitch bend and modulation wheel, with other ways to manipulate your sound such as Cutoff, resonance, reverb, chorus, attack, release, volume, and pan. Also the E363 has more arpeggiators and harmony features.
Hello viewers, interms of layering sounds, adjusting the level you are right about that but Actually, casio mentioned at NAMM, that the ct-x3000 and the 5000 has that features, editing capabilities of the 3000 and 5000 is deeper. thats y i didn’t purchase a ctx700 or 800. The x3000 and 5000 has that.. the ctx700 and ctx800 is still a great deal for the price compare to other keyboards with same price range
Casio ctx 700 is a touch sensitive keyboard, I think, volume control for layers is not required. If you want to play something loud, hit it hard and vice versa
I received the CT-X700 as a gift today, and I've been exploring it. I watched your previous video, you showed me some great features. Fortunately, for what I need it for, unprofessional purposes, I feel I was given a nice keyboard for the money. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks for watching Candy. The CT-X700 is great value for money. No doubt. I am sure you will enjoy making beautiful music on it. Do subscribe and hit that bell icon. 😊
Things I didn't like about the CT-X700 1.The speaker's power output is too small for a keyboard that sounded decent with a low price. Only 2.5 watts per side with a total of 5 watts. Typical for many keyboard in this price point. 2. Just like the Yamaha, it got several sounds that the samples are unchanged from CTK series. It seems that the AiX processor only focuses on the piano, woodwinds, and synths. The guitars and strings are exactly the same as the CTK, which uses a different processor but are given a new DSP effect 3. Lacks tone editor. For a decent low-end keyboard like this, a tone editor is definitely necessary. Go for the X3000 to have all the editing capabilities 4. Too much ethnic music styles (Indian, Chinese, Arabic, etc.) which are considered useless by most arranger keyboardists (except if they want to makea traditional music) 5.The pop styles are unique and modern, but jazz styles are still inferior to Yamaha. Advanced jazz chords like the flat 9th, sharp 9th, 11th, 13th and altered 7th are not possible in this keyboard, while in Yamaha it is all possible in the "Full Range" mode
I must say that your fourth comment is definitely from a Euro/America-centric perspective. And I don't think "ethnic style" is a proper word to describe music styles that you are not familiar with.
That volume adjustment function is only possible on Casio keyboards that have a built-in mixer. I bought a new CT-X800 to replace my old CTK-711 without realizing it didn't have the 16-channel mixer I was used to having. The CT-X has a lot of tones I like, but I think I'm going to miss the mixer function.
i have a keyboardist who has used psr 450 , psr s710 , psr s910 , s970 , and sx900 .. i also use p35 piano , synth mm6 , and many more .. i am a yamaha fan .. but a few month back i tried something that new to other brands such as Casio , Kurzweil and Vsti Software. i found something different yamaha . First for the piano, my CDP S piano is much better than the Yamaha P35 starting from the keys, and the sound of the piano, gives me a new impression. then I tried to buy the ct s1, and I was very surprised, fortunately the price range has a really mature sound color, even the piano I like much more than my PSR sx900 which costs roughly 4 to 5 times more expensive. not to mention the design and practicality, even though I ended up selling it because I have a lot of professional keyboards at home. After not having a Casio for a long time, I finally tried to buy a new CT X700 with the aim of having an arranger keyboard which is very easy to carry anywhere, which might be a little inconvenient on my SX900. and I found something new in this casio. again for the price it has the same color as the ct s1 but with a slight reduction in quality, but you get more sound screen features for less money. the only thing that makes it lose to the Yamaha PSR in my view is the quality of the default style/rhythm arrangements.. but if you talk about voice/sound then for the price I am a true PSR user to make sure, Casio Aix is not a bad choice, even far more than Yamaha for the same price range. I would recommend this casio compared to the Yamaha PSR at the same price or even at a higher price.
Jeremy remember these are cheap keyboards !!! You can expect everything perfect for their price ! I terms of sounds I think for the price there very good perhaps look at a kurzweil or nord!!
Show him where it's written, like the page num, the para num & also a link to the e-manual.😉 He seems to be too heavily biased towards Yamaha. One would think that he is definitely paid by Yamaha.
Hi Jeremy interesting video. 😎 I was pretty sure you would favour Yamaha over Casio. Even in the official demo videos made by Casio I wasn’t convinced by the styles. In my opinion, together with the Sweet!, Cool! and Dynamic! voices, the high quality of the styles is what makes Yamaha so much better than Casio for the lower range of keyboards. And you are right, the fact that it is impossible to adjust the balance between the main, the split and the layered voices makes it a no-brainer: it makes the CT-X 700 and 800 rather useless. I assume (I hope) hat the voices volumes are adjustable on the higher-end CT-X 3000 and 5000. Comment on the bonus video: I was surprised to see that you favour the PSR S550 to travel around with. I had this keyboard for a while and I didn’t like it at all, except for some of the sounds, esp. the Sweet! Classical flute (which is now on the PSR E463 by the way) and some of the pipe organ voices. I like the PSR E433 aetter, because of the Live! knobs (it gives you flexibility for sound editing), the arpeggiator which I find useful for instance to mimick the way à guitar, a bass, a harp or strings are playing. Also, although the PSR S550 does have 3 Intros, 4 Main and 3 Endings, I found many of the styles quite outdated and I missed the more “modern” styles of the PSR E433. And recently I found out that, combined to arpeggios for the main and dual voices and with some of the 5 tracks muted, the DJ patterns can be useful, for instance to create some electronic bass lines. So I guess that I should go for the PSR E463. IMHO I would say that the PSR S550 (and S650) is probably a great semi-pro Keyboard to play cover numbers, whereas the PSR E463 is better for music creation. Also the possibility to record audio on an USB stick and the possibility to control a computer or a tablet and bounce the sound back trough the speakers of the PSR E463 is really a pro feature. It gives you a access to a wealth of virtual synths and also the ability to record yourself either directly on the USB stick, or on your computer/tablet without having to use audio cables and a digital audio interface. Will you play something on the CT-X 700 to give us the opportunity to listen to some of the sounds and styles? Best Regards and keep up the good work. 👍
Jeremy See Well unfortunately I don’t have the equipment to record videos and edit them, maybe later, but my next investment most probably will be for the PSR E463 so the video recording equipment will have to wait 🙄 But in the meantime I can still make comments about your videos LoL 😂
Jeremy See All right but then how do you synchronise the audio from the keyboard with the video you recorded with the smartphone? I suppose you don’t record the audio with the phone microphone, right? Maybe for a next video you should do a tutorial like « Recording and editing your first RUclips video for dummies ». LoL
Just today, I bought a Yamaha PSR - E363 and I'm returning it because the accompagniment sounds very synthetic and is almost the same in every rhythm. I believe the accompagniment in the Casio CTX800 is way richer. I'm I correct?
In Casio keyboard, tu set the balance of voice (upper 1 and upper 2), you can use Mixer. You can also set the volume of all the channels (16 channels). It is a wrong comparison between Casio CTX 700/800 and Yamaha PSR e4xx series. They have a lot difference of price. You may compare CTX 5000 to PSR E463 and you will admit that Casio is better than Yamaha at the same price. CMIIW
Do you have a CT-X700 or CT-X800? Show me the mixer on these 2 model of CT-X keyboard. The entire world on the Internet can't find it. You can help them. The price of CT-X5000 can buy 2 sets of E463 where I live. I have been using Casio for almost 40 years since 1981 the Casio VL-1 & CZ-101. Watch my other videos.
I don't have. But I have played Casio previous model (CTK series) and I can set the balance easily. The Price of CTX 5000 is cheaper than PSR E463 in my region.
The CT-X700/800 doesn't have a mixer. Download the manual and have a look. No way to mix the sound balance. You are right, Casio always price their keyboards very cheap in developing countries.
Okay, I have read the manual and and I can't find the mixer. In this case, I do agree with you. If there is no mixer to set the balance, I will say "do not buy". It is one of basic feature. It is a must for a keyboard.
Thanks for the heads up Jeremy, sadly now, the 700 cost as much as the E363. And the 800 cost a hundred more than the 700, not the $20 it used to be. ....I like your prior review on the E363 and the 700. I started looking into one (700), but I am glad I saw this video, because layering control is quite important ! ....Thanks man !
But it's a good investment if you buy one which has such features. Specially if other options are available for the same price range. Trust me.. if you start to get serious you will be thankful that you bought one.
@@heythere6983 hey, am i late? But if you're gonna compare the e363 and the ctx700? I'm gonna share my thoughts abt it. From watching videos, i was finally able to see the sound differences between the two, especially the piano sound. All i can say is that casio sounds aggressive (i mean, it has deep and hard sounds especially the lower keys)which i can say it is more realitic, and the yamaha sounds are more like sweet and mellow sounds. But bruh, it really depends on what you want to hear for a piano, if you're that type of a player who likes soft sounds, and plays calming and soothing piano sounds, i recommend the e363 since it has a sweet voice. But if you're onto classical, for example beethoven, etc. And want to show the dark emotion of the piano, i recommend the ctx700. But when it comes to functionality, yamaha's better, :))) After all, these are all just my opinions. Hope it helps!
@@gabreyes3149 hey I appreciate the comment, I for now ended up getting a used m audio 88 key midi, which I use in logic and will probably get plugins to get certain piano tones, I really wanted an 88 key keyboard I find myself using those extra keys when writing pretty often. also it helps if I want to practice my singing range at home, I got it for 120 dollars so for the keys and midi ability seems like a good deal. Thanks for the time you put into the comment
A better comparison would be the Yamaha E 463 & the Similarly priced CT-X 5000 & cheaper CT-X 3000 both of which addresses your main criticism by having versatile Mixers. It is also worth noting that E363/463 & I believe also your S550 will not recognise 'On Bass' chords , a requirement for anybody wishing to go beyond Grade 5 Keyboard
I was put off by Yamaha when I bought a cheap keyboard of theirs, only to find that it doesn't even have touch response! But by the time I tested it out properly, it was too late to return it. I mean, why even manufacture such a thing? Who would want a keyboard with no volume control whatsoever? It's not useful for learning or for gigging. So you make a fair point on Casio's oversight... but there are worse ones as well
Your videos are super informative. I love the focus on beginners, and you are absolutely right to suggest learning on a machine that you can grow with a little, while also not being swamped by it. I'd love to see a video on the concept of recording your work on the board, without attaching to the computer. I'd ultimately be interested in creating something tangible, without necessarily overthinking the equation. Do they have such a keyboard, that is still basic, but allows you to create a song then dump it to a jump drive or something such?
I bought an 80s fun house synth yesterday and literally burned it today with gasoline because I found bed bugs inside it. I'm so glad I checked inside before I put it in my house. Now I'm out money and don't have any keyboard. I want something with a synth, faders and the ability to record tracks that doesn't cost $500. I have no idea what to buy and there's too many options.
I will say this though as much as I love Yamaha keyboards but the Yamaha PSR-170, PSR-172 and PSR-175 are pretty much the same keyboard with just a few minor differences and the Yamaha EZ-150 is pretty much the the same and the other keyboards I just mentioned just with light up keys and a slightly different display
TBF, considering the Casiotones (like the S400), it seems Casio did watch this video. I'd guess the reason it got clipped is Casio's philosophy when making this keyboard - looking at its layout versus the E373, it has a greater emphasis on manipulating the keyboard (such as Octave buttons that aren't buried deep into function) rather than manipulating sounds. They probably reasoned that a beginning player shouldn't be thinking about diving into the Function system with over a dozen button presses to tinker with Part Volumes in
I'm a totally newbie in keyboards world and I'm still wondering which one should I buy at entry level. CT-X700 or PSR-E363? Can I connect CT-X700 as a midi controller to the Fruity Loops (or any other DAW)? I know that in PSR-E363 it is possible, but how about CT-X700? Please, give me some advice which one I should choose :)
Jeremy See thank You! But still I don’t know which one should I buy. Decision is to hard to make :( CT-X700 or E363. I know that You preffer 363 but You are a pro, and I’m a totally newbie.
But I think one of my all time favourite Yamaha keyboard is (which I currently have on lone from this music program I’m a part of) is the Yamaha DJX 2 keyboard unfortunately that particular model has been discontinued but man, it’s such an awesome keyboard
Great vid! I have the Casio MZ-X500. For me the biggest issue I have with Casio is the extremely short sustain with a pedal. The piano sustain is worthless in a mix IMO because it’s just too short. I have multiple keyboards, and if I plan on the laying more than one, I always have to start with the Casio because if I go from my other brands first.., I lose interest in playing the Casio because of that short sustain. It is very surprising to learn that you cannot adjust the volume on layers and splits on the CT-X700.
squeakD I’ve noticed the same thing regarding sustain being too short on the piano sound. I have the WK6600 and that’s the one thing I cannot stand with that keyboard!
PSR-E should receive a complete overhaul someday, like the DGX digital pianos. The DGX used to have same sounds as PSR-E, but starting in DGX-640 everything was changed. Now it includes some of the sounds from PSR-S models and for the newest model, DGX-660, the piano sound is coming straight from Clavinova - but the samples are compressed to fit the simpler sound processor the DGX has
bisa tolong bantu,, mana yg lebih baik, saya bingung dengan budget antara yamaha e363 atau ctx 700 ? atau boleh minta saran saingan dari casio untuk seri yamaha e263 apa yah ?
All the Yamaha PSR-E series range have really ugly piano sound to my ears.. They sounds too synthetic and unnatural for me at least at the most default settings... To me, Yamaha good piano sound only start with PSR-S series. And that's the dealbreaker for me, their worst weakness.. This new Casio CTX piano sounds much better and packed with a lot more features with so much lower price... But this is still completely subjective just from my personal opinion
Hi Jeremy. Tour Video was so useful. I Play in a Garage banda that imitates The Doors and those Features You mention are so important to me. I almost Buy This Keyboard. So , what in your opinión could be a good choice for My necessities? Obviously Vox Continental or Hammond or that Vintage Fender or Gibson Pianos are Out of My League? Thank in advance for your answer. Kind regards from Mexico.
Hi, which Casio keyboard has the volume control function on layers? I really like the CT-X700/800 but I am wondering which is the next model up that has the layering sounds?
Hi Jeremy What keyboard have such layer and dual control? I almost to pick CT-X700 because it worth for the money either have layer control or not Budget below 300, lower is better 😀 Ty in adv
Assma A, it’s like a normal keyboard. I recommend it! It has 61 key and is really simple to use. When you first start it up it sounds like a normal piano. Then there’s numbered buttons, on the other side of the piano there sound codes for the numbers. Type in the number and you get the sound. You can record and play back stuff it has a pedal and stand. The only bad thing about it that there’s no bench. So I think you’ll like it. 😃
Does the CTX 700 and CTX 800 have auto sustain function without needing a pedal ? Do you think the diferences between them worth the diference in money? i´m just about to buy one, thanks

Tenho um Casio MZ-X. Fiquei com um CT-X5000 por um tempo e fiquei impressionado com o abismo entre os Dois. O MZ-X está tudo na cara os 2 uppers e dois Lowers com fácil acesso na tela touch entre outros detalhes de volumes a um passo. Já o CT-X é muito burocrático! Economizaram nos atalhos deixando tudo pra resolver naqueles botôes numéricos. Até nos CTK tem alguns botões de rápido acesso. E achei absurdo não colocarem botôes físicos para os UPPERs e LOWERs. Só está aquele famigerado botão de Split que serve para os 4 timbres. Se você quiser trocar um timbre UPPER2 você tem que segurar o botão durante um tempo, aí nesta história já perde muito tempo pra troca rápidas. Esperava uma melhora expressiva da linha CTK mas infelizmente não foi desta vez. Enquanto a linha MZ-X a cada atualização só melhora mas ainda falta um pouco.
Thank you for pointing out the missing mixer/tone editor buttons. Tested a ctx 800 yesterday in store and did not notice. My ctk 6200 has both buttons. I tried psr e 403/453/and 463 and since I play a lot of acoustic guitar sounds had to turn to casio because the yam folk guitar which is closest to an acoustic steel string guitar has an annoying pitch shift in the bass notes on all 3 models. I prefer the yamahas for almost everything else but my ears cringed every time I did an acoustic guitar song with the yams.
I’m the same way with keyboards I’m also not brand fussy if it’s a keyboard that I like and it has sounds I like then it’s good for me I do have a small collection of keyboards and currently my keyboard collection is made up of mainly Casio and Yamaha keyboards but I welcome any brand into my keyboard collection
Sorry men, Respect your opinion, but i believe you are doing a wrong comparison. CT-X800 and CT-X700 is not the same comparing a PSR-E263 versus PSR-E463 you missed the E363. Changing volume on Layer and Split you can do it in the CT-X3000 That in specs goes directly against E463 but with a much less price.
Which one should I choose between Korg ek50 or Casio ct-x700/800,can you suggest me the better choice,.. really hope your comments n i am enjoy your usefull videos....
@Jeremy See Yeah, I know, ...I'm about three years too late, 🙃 ....But have you tried simply playing the different layers more softly? You are definitely not wrong in regards to the silliness of making two only slightly different models with a twenty something dollar price difference, but as a kid, (as with many people who grew up below the poverty line), most of my childhood involved adapting and finding creative ways to overcome limitations in the things available to me during that part of my life. You might have to slightly exaggerate the key pressure variance between the two different voices, but if the pressure sensitivity has a good consistent response curve, is that not a viable option if that is all to which one has access?🤔
I really wonder why manufacturers make such decissions. I have a Roland BK-5. A really good keyboard overall with great sounds. But one thing drives me crazy. If you want a drum rhythm but not the "rest" of the accompaniment style you have to dive deep into the menu to switch that off. Just stupid. This feature should have a dedicated button with an indicator light, really.
Hey Jeremy, I just came across your channel when searching for my first keyboard. I am a guitarist. Not the best either. I asked the store if I could play my boards through an amp. I have a JC120. I think it would be suitable. This is about the volume. Would it work in your opinion? Thanks, J.
I'm new about pianos, so please, if someone can put a link of a video that shows "layer the sounds of volume", because I don't understand very well. I want to buy my first piano, and I was convinced to have a Casio, but volume is too important for chorus and depending of what part of the song you are. Sorry for my english and thanks to read.
maybe, in casio department think, that volume can be cover by keyboard touch sensitive. so, if you want to little volume, don't use high power to press, and vice versa. *so sorry, my english is not good.
I'm trying to find out whether the CT-X700 (or ANY Casio keyboards) is truly compatible with my iPad 7, and I can't find a straight answer on whether a USB-MIDI connection is even going to work. Then there is the issue of how to get any recordings off the CT-X700 and onto my iPad via an SDHC card, which I can't find any information on, either. If the CT-X800 is the only model that accepts a USB memory stick (which I have), then so much for the CT-X700
Hi do you know any keyboard that support medi or an app that would sych with the keyboard so that you can learn piano and does any of this sound like better for grand piano?
Hi Jeremy I was just wondering if you had an opinion I've got enough synthesizer sounds in my analogue machines. I would consider a home keyboards depending on the sounds .what is an affordable option for bread and butter acoustic sounds I know they're not what you're after but I wouldn't mind a few. Not too bothered by the learning curve as I would most likely be using it as a plug N Play. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated kind regards Heath
Hi, Jeremy. I have watched your video. I haven't got yet any keyboard but before buying, I am interested to know the features of all types of keyboard. Could you tell me please How about Casio CTK 7200. Is it good for a beginner like me? I like a creative keyboard that allow me to make style. Thank in advance.
Haters already started thumbing down! 😅
They can do nothing.....they hate you got vieuws
🤣💪🏽👍
Hi Jeremy, I don't hate, my opinion differs greatly from yours. You proclaim Yamaha PSR-E343 keyboard as vastly superior to Casio CT-X700. Yet have not compared sounds, styles etc. This holds no credibility for me.
Damon, I didn't say the PSR-E363 is vastly superior to the CT-X700. Did you watch my earlier video, the one where I unboxed the Casio? I said Casio is much better feature wise than the Yamaha.
I am not recommending my viewers buy the CT-X700 here because a very basic function of any credible keyboard, that which is the adjustment of volume balance between layers and split is missing.
I didn't say the Casio is bad. I'm just saying do NOT buy. Things may change should Casio release a firmware to patch this critical flaw.
In my later video, I did say that the CT-700 is great value if you are using it for gigs in a band. But for the purpose of most of my subscribers here, who are using keyboards as an arranger keyboard, the feature basically makes this keyboard a no go.
Hi Jeremy (correction, thank you, 363, not 343 as I erroneously mentioned) - there's no clearer way to say one product is superior to another, than by saying "DON'T buy the other". Whilst I agree Split/Layer Part volume adjustment is great to have for some players, the majority of purchasers of keyboards at this price don't adjust volumes between parts. And there are preset combination tones (e.g. Strings Piano #014), already nicely balanced. CT-X3000 and CT-X5000 offer part balance and tone editing, truly superb speakers systems, 42-channel mixer etc - for not a lot more money (market dependent, I guess). In my experience, it's actually difficult to compare the PSR-E363 and CT-X700/800 - the sound quality and pro-level DSP effects (already programmed for each sound) of many of the 600 tones on CT-X700/800 are far superior. The rhythms styles and accompaniments sound better than the PSR-E363 and keyboards from all other brands costing a LOT more. CT-X700/800's 6-track recorder (vs 2-track on PSR-E363). Thanks for allowing me to share my experience and opinions on your channel, anyway.
You probably should have titled it "Why I would NOT buy...". Your review suggests you like everything except for the inability to change each split/layer volume. This would not be a deal breaker for most people, especially looking at the price difference.
This is definitely a deal breaker for an arranger keyboard. If you just want piano sound then dont buy arranger keyboard. If you buy this even for the piano sound, you're way underutilizing it. Better go buy alesis recital if you dont need the arranger function.
Koehnia would a casio cts300 be a better option?
@@hxsm8090 but you can buy this arranger keyboard because its cheaper than a digital piano
So just around 2 days ago We went to a local Keyboard distributor and they sold only Casio, personally there were never any Yamaha distributors around me at any distance so the PSR series weren't an easy option.
I was only looking for a good keyboard with General MIDI support so I could playback VSTs and record to my pc using MIDI, Full-size keys, Touch Response (I wasn't looking for Weighted keys because here where I'm from, keyboards that have that feature are way over my budget weirdly-enough.), and hopefully good and loud speakers and decent built-in sounds, but those were all the essentials.
Originally I wanted to buy a Casio ctk-3500 because it was very cheap here and I thought it fulfilled enough of my needs, I wasn't really trying to focus on the built-in samples and sounds and features because I was focusing to do that all through MIDI, I just needed at least a 61-key MIDI keyboard essentially, I would rather buy the ctk-3500 with all these very essential features than get a midi keyboard that's either less keys or not full-size keys for the same price.
So I went to the store and they told me they had already sold out of CTK-3500s and they weren't planning to sell any more of them, so they introduced me to the CT-X700, I already knew that this was way better but first I had to look at the price,
I was paying for a portion of the keyboard based on my budget and my mom added on what I needed if my budget wasn't enough, (My original budget was only for the ctk-3500 at least which is about $125-150.... And I'm still a teenager without self-reliant and consistent income.).
So they showed me the ct-x700 and I thought I liked it, I liked the sounds, or at least definitely better than nothing, and I knew I preferred it over the ctk-3500 but I kept thinking about the price, it was orignally selling for around $320 here, so already a huge jump, but luckily it was heavily discounted so it only came around at $260, so We went away for a little bit then went back to finally buy it, I was very excited as it was the first time I would be able to practice piano with my own keyboard for the last probably 9-10 years.
Unfortunately they told us that they didn't have stock at the time and they couldn't sell the demo display model, bummer...
So they offered us if We wanted the CT-X800 instead, and as you said, very little features added onto it plus a little very minimal design change (Just like the color of the labels...) and so We asked the price, originally it was running for around $380, over-priced but a normal gap here where I'm from, We weren't comfortable with the original price but very very luckily they told us that it was actually getting a discount of 10% plus extra discounts from promos, so the keyboard only came around to be like $282.
So rather than coming home without a keyboard (I've been waiting a long time and where We went to find this distributor is actually very far from our house and considering it's currently summer and I don't have enough willpower to commute to such a far distance and to bring home a huge box with a keyboard.) We bought it and I came home...
Now when they tested it was perfectly-good but then I opened it myself after bringing it home after a few hours, the upper D key was stuck up, like it popped up or something. I was quite disappointed to see this and I imagine this was caused by either the way it was placed inside our car or the way it was upside down when I opened the box, but nonetheless I went through the unboxing extra-carefully so I couldn't place it all on myself as blame.
Either way, the keyboard was amazing, but I guess that's coming from the standpoint of a person who is only exposed to either toy keyboards or real grand pianos out of his range so I don't really have any relative opinion on the same range of product.
But all I know is that I'm satisfied and especially with the price difference between this (in our case though, it was heavily discounted.) so I was satisfied.... I couldn't really complain about the original price since goods, especially already-expensive electronics are so expensive that some products I could tell you were triple the original srp and I would think it was just the normal way things went.
But seeing the situation in other countries where the prices are rather standard, yeah I think it's complete non-sense to buy the CT-X800 for it's price comparing the the CT-X700, yes I get that the CT-X700 is supposed to be the entry-level keyboard for many people, but either way even if it was $20 or $100 (in the US) it's not worth it to label it a higher product for the "extra features" you get, the CT-X700 is amazing for it's price in my opinion, again not the best price value but better than a lot of keyboards in it's range, and especially for Casio, but the CT-X800 is way too little for the extra price you're paying, if I were in the US I would have rather bought one of the CDP keyboards than get the CT-X800 over the X700. But that's coming from a very-limited point of view, but either way, whether you want them for the arranger features or not, the only thing you're getting is the ability to play music from a USB flash drive and the pitch bend wheel... Absolute bleh especially for people in the US.
Thanks for sharing buddy.
Despite the layer/split flaw (i personaly don't need these to make my songs), many of the new sounds in the CT-X700 are much better than the ones on Yamaha Psr e363/e463
Can the X-700 CT keyboard be used as a Midi controller? Help, I'm buying this or the yamaha psr363 ...
From worth to buy side,please sugget me which is the best between yamaha psr f51 vs this casio ctx 700? I'm a new learner.
Do not buy f51
I still think the ctx700 is still making everyone saying "the PSR-E363 sucks!" but the ctx700 is newer so maybe Yamaha will create a model with better sounds for keyboards around $179. The E363 is better if..
You need less world styles/rhythms
Adjust dual/split volume
Maybe if you think the Sweet! voices are very usable
You can connect an app to access a pitch bend and modulation wheel, with other ways to manipulate your sound such as Cutoff, resonance, reverb, chorus, attack, release, volume, and pan.
Also the E363 has more arpeggiators and harmony features.
you are right it is impossible to balance dual voices on Casio
i think the ctx 3-5000 layering sounds better compared to the 700
Hello viewers, interms of layering sounds, adjusting the level you are right about that but Actually, casio mentioned at NAMM, that the ct-x3000 and the 5000 has that features, editing capabilities of the 3000 and 5000 is deeper. thats y i didn’t purchase a ctx700 or 800. The x3000 and 5000 has that.. the ctx700 and ctx800 is still a great deal for the price compare to other keyboards with same price range
Instrumentalists Jade
Yeah , the X700 and X800 still the best deal on its class.
Right, except that 5000 is 2.5x the price of a 700..
Casio ctx 700 is a touch sensitive keyboard, I think, volume control for layers is not required. If you want to play something loud, hit it hard and vice versa
Maybe for split but for layering its hard.
Yes, it’s touch sensitive.
I received the CT-X700 as a gift today, and I've been exploring it. I watched your previous video, you showed me some great features. Fortunately, for what I need it for, unprofessional purposes, I feel I was given a nice keyboard for the money. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks for watching Candy. The CT-X700 is great value for money. No doubt. I am sure you will enjoy making beautiful music on it. Do subscribe and hit that bell icon. 😊
Can you change sustain level?
@@shubhamverma1113 yeah you can
I totally agree with your comment and view between both models, Jeremy. I always enjoy your sensible and honest reviews.Best rgds.👍🎹
This is the first time that I saw jeremy like this. He is totally pissed.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you so much for your efforts hope you keep this on. Tc.
Thanks for sharing your impressions about Casio. And love new intro as well. I think the bonus should have been in a separate video though
Things I didn't like about the CT-X700
1.The speaker's power output is too small for a keyboard that sounded decent with a low price. Only 2.5 watts per side with a total of 5 watts. Typical for many keyboard in this price point.
2. Just like the Yamaha, it got several sounds that the samples are unchanged from CTK series. It seems that the AiX processor only focuses on the piano, woodwinds, and synths. The guitars and strings are exactly the same as the CTK, which uses a different processor but are given a new DSP effect
3. Lacks tone editor. For a decent low-end keyboard like this, a tone editor is definitely necessary. Go for the X3000 to have all the editing capabilities
4. Too much ethnic music styles (Indian, Chinese, Arabic, etc.) which are considered useless by most arranger keyboardists (except if they want to makea traditional music)
5.The pop styles are unique and modern, but jazz styles are still inferior to Yamaha. Advanced jazz chords like the flat 9th, sharp 9th, 11th, 13th and altered 7th are not possible in this keyboard, while in Yamaha it is all possible in the "Full Range" mode
Great observations!
How do you feel about the strings on the
ctx 700? I'm looking for a keyboard with great piano and string sounds.
I must say that your fourth comment is definitely from a Euro/America-centric perspective. And I don't think "ethnic style" is a proper word to describe music styles that you are not familiar with.
That volume adjustment function is only possible on Casio keyboards that have a built-in mixer. I bought a new CT-X800 to replace my old CTK-711 without realizing it didn't have the 16-channel mixer I was used to having. The CT-X has a lot of tones I like, but I think I'm going to miss the mixer function.
i have a keyboardist who has used psr 450 , psr s710 , psr s910 , s970 , and sx900 .. i also use p35 piano , synth mm6 , and many more .. i am a yamaha fan .. but a few month back i tried something that new to other brands such as Casio , Kurzweil and Vsti Software. i found something different yamaha . First for the piano, my CDP S piano is much better than the Yamaha P35 starting from the keys, and the sound of the piano, gives me a new impression. then I tried to buy the ct s1, and I was very surprised, fortunately the price range has a really mature sound color, even the piano I like much more than my PSR sx900 which costs roughly 4 to 5 times more expensive. not to mention the design and practicality, even though I ended up selling it because I have a lot of professional keyboards at home. After not having a Casio for a long time, I finally tried to buy a new CT X700 with the aim of having an arranger keyboard which is very easy to carry anywhere, which might be a little inconvenient on my SX900. and I found something new in this casio. again for the price it has the same color as the ct s1 but with a slight reduction in quality, but you get more sound screen features for less money. the only thing that makes it lose to the Yamaha PSR in my view is the quality of the default style/rhythm arrangements.. but if you talk about voice/sound then for the price I am a true PSR user to make sure, Casio Aix is not a bad choice, even far more than Yamaha for the same price range. I would recommend this casio compared to the Yamaha PSR at the same price or even at a higher price.
3:47 point to be noted
Okay, this keyboard is perfect for me then. I hate my S710 because its just too complicated to use..
Maybe firmware update?
The S710 is so good though.
Jeremy remember these are cheap keyboards !!! You can expect everything perfect for their price !
I terms of sounds I think for the price there very good perhaps look at a kurzweil or nord!!
Jeremy.. In other words, those piano player who are sensitive with the sounds of voices should not buy this Casio in spite of the other good features?
You can effectively alter the Split Balance by using Function to adjust the auto-accomp volume level 😎
Show him where it's written, like the page num, the para num & also a link to the e-manual.😉 He seems to be too heavily biased towards Yamaha. One would think that he is definitely paid by Yamaha.
Would this work for the layered volumes as well?
OMG . you broke my hearth !... I was about to get it, but, now , I will have to look for something else.... Great vid !
I am buying e 363 as a learner. Jeremy also suggested for learners.
Hi Jeremy interesting video. 😎
I was pretty sure you would favour Yamaha over Casio. Even in the official demo videos made by Casio I wasn’t convinced by the styles. In my opinion, together with the Sweet!, Cool! and Dynamic! voices, the high quality of the styles is what makes Yamaha so much better than Casio for the lower range of keyboards. And you are right, the fact that it is impossible to adjust the balance between the main, the split and the layered voices makes it a no-brainer: it makes the CT-X 700 and 800 rather useless. I assume (I hope) hat the voices volumes are adjustable on the higher-end CT-X 3000 and 5000.
Comment on the bonus video: I was surprised to see that you favour the PSR S550 to travel around with. I had this keyboard for a while and I didn’t like it at all, except for some of the sounds, esp. the Sweet! Classical flute (which is now on the PSR E463 by the way) and some of the pipe organ voices. I like the PSR E433 aetter, because of the Live! knobs (it gives you flexibility for sound editing), the arpeggiator which I find useful for instance to mimick the way à guitar, a bass, a harp or strings are playing.
Also, although the PSR S550 does have 3 Intros, 4 Main and 3 Endings, I found many of the styles quite outdated and I missed the more “modern” styles of the PSR E433. And recently I found out that, combined to arpeggios for the main and dual voices and with some of the 5 tracks muted, the DJ patterns can be useful, for instance to create some electronic bass lines.
So I guess that I should go for the PSR E463. IMHO I would say that the PSR S550 (and S650) is probably a great semi-pro Keyboard to play cover numbers, whereas the PSR E463 is better for music creation. Also the possibility to record audio on an USB stick and the possibility to control a computer or a tablet and bounce the sound back trough the speakers of the PSR E463 is really a pro feature. It gives you a access to a wealth of virtual synths and also the ability to record yourself either directly on the USB stick, or on your computer/tablet without having to use audio cables and a digital audio interface.
Will you play something on the CT-X 700 to give us the opportunity to listen to some of the sounds and styles?
Best Regards and keep up the good work. 👍
A pity you live far away from me. We would make a great team making RUclips videos with our keyboards! 😍
Jeremy See Well unfortunately I don’t have the equipment to record videos and edit them, maybe later, but my next investment most probably will be for the PSR E463 so the video recording equipment will have to wait 🙄 But in the meantime I can still make comments about your videos LoL 😂
All my videos were recorded on my cellpphone! That's all one needs really. 😁
Jeremy See All right but then how do you synchronise the audio from the keyboard with the video you recorded with the smartphone? I suppose you don’t record the audio with the phone microphone, right?
Maybe for a next video you should do a tutorial like « Recording and editing your first RUclips video for dummies ». LoL
Yup! I should make a tutorial. Else it seems I'm flooding the YT search results for E363 & E463. 😆
Just today, I bought a Yamaha PSR - E363 and I'm returning it because the accompagniment sounds very synthetic and is almost the same in every rhythm. I believe the accompagniment in the Casio CTX800 is way richer. I'm I correct?
Its the opposite I think. The E363 in my opinion had way better styles than the ctx800. However sound quality is slightly better than the E363.
In Casio keyboard, tu set the balance of voice (upper 1 and upper 2), you can use Mixer. You can also set the volume of all the channels (16 channels).
It is a wrong comparison between Casio CTX 700/800 and Yamaha PSR e4xx series. They have a lot difference of price. You may compare CTX 5000 to PSR E463 and you will admit that Casio is better than Yamaha at the same price. CMIIW
Do you have a CT-X700 or CT-X800?
Show me the mixer on these 2 model of CT-X keyboard. The entire world on the Internet can't find it. You can help them.
The price of CT-X5000 can buy 2 sets of E463 where I live.
I have been using Casio for almost 40 years since 1981 the Casio VL-1 & CZ-101. Watch my other videos.
I don't have. But I have played Casio previous model (CTK series) and I can set the balance easily. The Price of CTX 5000 is cheaper than PSR E463 in my region.
The CT-X700/800 doesn't have a mixer. Download the manual and have a look. No way to mix the sound balance.
You are right, Casio always price their keyboards very cheap in developing countries.
Okay, I have read the manual and and I can't find the mixer. In this case, I do agree with you. If there is no mixer to set the balance, I will say "do not buy". It is one of basic feature. It is a must for a keyboard.
Thank you for going through the manual, Sir. It is sad that Casio didn't include the basic function. 😭
Thanks for the heads up Jeremy, sadly now, the 700 cost as much as the E363. And the 800 cost a hundred more than the 700, not the $20 it used to be. ....I like your prior review on the E363 and the 700. I started looking into one (700), but I am glad I saw this video, because layering control is quite important ! ....Thanks man !
Always working for our benefit.
If I remember correctly, keys in CT-X700 and CT-X800 are different. In CT-X700 they feel better. Yamaha's keys are too narrow compared to the piano.
.....
its still probably perfect for me as I wouldn't use the layer. I just want to learn keyboard
But it's a good investment if you buy one which has such features. Specially if other options are available for the same price range.
Trust me.. if you start to get serious you will be thankful that you bought one.
@@actually4660 which would you recommend then? Any better option that also sounds like a good piano?
@@heythere6983 hey, am i late? But if you're gonna compare the e363 and the ctx700? I'm gonna share my thoughts abt it. From watching videos, i was finally able to see the sound differences between the two, especially the piano sound. All i can say is that casio sounds aggressive (i mean, it has deep and hard sounds especially the lower keys)which i can say it is more realitic, and the yamaha sounds are more like sweet and mellow sounds.
But bruh, it really depends on what you want to hear for a piano, if you're that type of a player who likes soft sounds, and plays calming and soothing piano sounds, i recommend the e363 since it has a sweet voice. But if you're onto classical, for example beethoven, etc. And want to show the dark emotion of the piano, i recommend the ctx700.
But when it comes to functionality, yamaha's better, :)))
After all, these are all just my opinions. Hope it helps!
@@gabreyes3149 hey I appreciate the comment, I for now ended up getting a used m audio 88 key midi, which I use in logic and will probably get plugins to get certain piano tones, I really wanted an 88 key keyboard I find myself using those extra keys when writing pretty often. also it helps if I want to practice my singing range at home, I got it for 120 dollars so for the keys and midi ability seems like a good deal. Thanks for the time you put into the comment
Hey There hey, which keyboard did u buy for logic? I couldn't find a keyboard that auto detects in my mac. Which one did u get? ☺️
A better comparison would be the Yamaha E 463 & the Similarly priced CT-X 5000 & cheaper CT-X 3000 both of which addresses your main criticism by having versatile Mixers. It is also worth noting that E363/463 & I believe also your S550 will not recognise 'On Bass' chords , a requirement for anybody wishing to go beyond Grade 5 Keyboard
Always give a good advice.
Thank you Mr. Jeremy See.😊👍
I agree with everything you have said here....simple to the point...
I wil now go for a Yamaha or Roland which I think is still the better one...any comments
I was put off by Yamaha when I bought a cheap keyboard of theirs, only to find that it doesn't even have touch response! But by the time I tested it out properly, it was too late to return it. I mean, why even manufacture such a thing? Who would want a keyboard with no volume control whatsoever? It's not useful for learning or for gigging. So you make a fair point on Casio's oversight... but there are worse ones as well
Your videos are super informative. I love the focus on beginners, and you are absolutely right to suggest learning on a machine that you can grow with a little, while also not being swamped by it. I'd love to see a video on the concept of recording your work on the board, without attaching to the computer. I'd ultimately be interested in creating something tangible, without necessarily overthinking the equation. Do they have such a keyboard, that is still basic, but allows you to create a song then dump it to a jump drive or something such?
this is so informatif ..now i'm considering to look fot that used 550 because of you .
Hey Jeremy! Please do answer my question if you reading it..
What would u prefer buying,a casio ct x-700 or a yamaha psr e373??
To me the lack of pitch bend or mod wheel is a far bigger "dealbreaker"... and much more surprising.
I bought an 80s fun house synth yesterday and literally burned it today with gasoline because I found bed bugs inside it. I'm so glad I checked inside before I put it in my house. Now I'm out money and don't have any keyboard. I want something with a synth, faders and the ability to record tracks that doesn't cost $500. I have no idea what to buy and there's too many options.
@@regarded3833 yikes... if you kept it locked in a box for a few years, they woulda died off, and you'd get to use it 🤣
As an epileptic, please tone down your flashing at the beginning of the video :(
I will say this though as much as I love Yamaha keyboards but the Yamaha PSR-170, PSR-172 and PSR-175 are pretty much the same keyboard with just a few minor differences and the Yamaha EZ-150 is pretty much the the same and the other keyboards I just mentioned just with light up keys and a slightly different display
I have a CT-X500 and it's possible to adjust not only the volume, but any effect on each of the four layers individually.
You mean your CT-X5000.
TBF, considering the Casiotones (like the S400), it seems Casio did watch this video. I'd guess the reason it got clipped is Casio's philosophy when making this keyboard - looking at its layout versus the E373, it has a greater emphasis on manipulating the keyboard (such as Octave buttons that aren't buried deep into function) rather than manipulating sounds. They probably reasoned that a beginning player shouldn't be thinking about diving into the Function system with over a dozen button presses to tinker with Part Volumes in
how i wish casio release an update for this issue
Im glad i have yamaha psr e353, although its older but i can control dual and split volumes.
I'm a totally newbie in keyboards world and I'm still wondering which one should I buy at entry level. CT-X700 or PSR-E363? Can I connect CT-X700 as a midi controller to the Fruity Loops (or any other DAW)? I know that in PSR-E363 it is possible, but how about CT-X700? Please, give me some advice which one I should choose :)
Yes you can with ctx700
Jeremy See thank You! But still I don’t know which one should I buy. Decision is to hard to make :( CT-X700 or E363. I know that You preffer 363 but You are a pro, and I’m a totally newbie.
@@JeremySee hai..
from the quality of the material, and the sound produced (grand piano) which one is better between ctx700 and E363 ??
But I think one of my all time favourite Yamaha keyboard is (which I currently have on lone from this music program I’m a part of) is the Yamaha DJX 2 keyboard unfortunately that particular model has been discontinued but man, it’s such an awesome keyboard
Great vid! I have the Casio MZ-X500. For me the biggest issue I have with Casio is the extremely short sustain with a pedal. The piano sustain is worthless in a mix IMO because it’s just too short. I have multiple keyboards, and if I plan on the laying more than one, I always have to start with the Casio because if I go from my other brands first.., I lose interest in playing the Casio because of that short sustain. It is very surprising to learn that you cannot adjust the volume on layers and splits on the CT-X700.
squeakD I’ve noticed the same thing regarding sustain being too short on the piano sound. I have the WK6600 and that’s the one thing I cannot stand with that keyboard!
Thanks for watching & contributing. Do give the videos a thumbs up and subscribe if you have not done so.
PSR-E should receive a complete overhaul someday, like the DGX digital pianos. The DGX used to have same sounds as PSR-E, but starting in DGX-640 everything was changed. Now it includes some of the sounds from PSR-S models and for the newest model, DGX-660, the piano sound is coming straight from Clavinova - but the samples are compressed to fit the simpler sound processor the DGX has
bisa tolong bantu,, mana yg lebih baik, saya bingung dengan budget antara yamaha e363 atau ctx 700 ?
atau boleh minta saran saingan dari casio untuk seri yamaha e263 apa yah ?
if you want real independed split keyboard use another one, like Ray Manzarek The Doors!
i am regret too having CTX700. thank for this review
I totally agree with your opinion
All the Yamaha PSR-E series range have really ugly piano sound to my ears.. They sounds too synthetic and unnatural for me at least at the most default settings... To me, Yamaha good piano sound only start with PSR-S series. And that's the dealbreaker for me, their worst weakness.. This new Casio CTX piano sounds much better and packed with a lot more features with so much lower price... But this is still completely subjective just from my personal opinion
Crack. Saludos desde Panamá.
Thanks for your content. I learned a lot. Man, I was about to buy the CTX-700.
Hi Jeremy. Tour Video was so useful. I Play in a Garage banda that imitates The Doors and those Features You mention are so important to me. I almost Buy This Keyboard. So , what in your opinión could be a good choice for My necessities? Obviously Vox Continental or Hammond or that Vintage Fender or Gibson Pianos are Out of My League? Thank in advance for your answer. Kind regards from Mexico.
Should i buy casio ctx 870😫
Go for a Yamaha psr e373 instead..
I'm gonna go for that too!
Which one you bought
i buy this one for postproduction project. the sound quality is amazing. for this price
Hi, which Casio keyboard has the volume control function on layers? I really like the CT-X700/800 but I am wondering which is the next model up that has the layering sounds?
Hi Jeremy
What keyboard have such layer and dual control?
I almost to pick CT-X700 because it worth for the money either have layer control or not
Budget below 300, lower is better 😀
Ty in adv
I got a Casio for my birthday I love it
Happy birthday!
@Jeremy See thank you!
😄
J.P Animations does it sound like a normal keyboard? Bcz im thinking of buying one
It has different settings right? Like sounds
Assma A, it’s like a normal keyboard.
I recommend it!
It has 61 key and is really simple to use. When you first start it up it sounds like a normal piano.
Then there’s numbered buttons, on the other side of the piano there sound codes for the numbers.
Type in the number and you get the sound.
You can record and play back stuff it has a pedal and stand. The only bad thing about it that there’s no bench. So I think you’ll like it.
😃
U rock buddy, absolutely correct
Thanks for your support buddy. 💖 Do give my videos thumbs up and share it.
sure!!
Does the CTX 700 and CTX 800 have auto sustain function without needing a pedal ? Do you think the diferences between them worth the diference in money? i´m just about to buy one, thanks
Tenho um Casio MZ-X. Fiquei com um CT-X5000 por um tempo e fiquei impressionado com o abismo entre os Dois. O MZ-X está tudo na cara os 2 uppers e dois Lowers com fácil acesso na tela touch entre outros detalhes de volumes a um passo. Já o CT-X é muito burocrático! Economizaram nos atalhos deixando tudo pra resolver naqueles botôes numéricos. Até nos CTK tem alguns botões de rápido acesso. E achei absurdo não colocarem botôes físicos para os UPPERs e LOWERs. Só está aquele famigerado botão de Split que serve para os 4 timbres. Se você quiser trocar um timbre UPPER2 você tem que segurar o botão durante um tempo, aí nesta história já perde muito tempo pra troca rápidas. Esperava uma melhora expressiva da linha CTK mas infelizmente não foi desta vez. Enquanto a linha MZ-X a cada atualização só melhora mas ainda falta um pouco.

What keyboard would you recommend for someone who’s more interested in electronic, techno, and “distorted” sounds on a keyboard
There’s a few including a DJX Yamaha that’s a model from years ago but VERY VERY good and you should find at least one on eBay.
A synth
Thank you for pointing out the missing mixer/tone editor buttons. Tested a ctx 800 yesterday in store and did not notice. My ctk 6200 has both buttons. I tried psr e 403/453/and 463 and since I play a lot of acoustic guitar sounds had to turn to casio because the yam folk guitar which is closest to an acoustic steel string guitar has an annoying pitch shift in the bass notes on all 3 models. I prefer the yamahas for almost everything else but my ears cringed every time I did an acoustic guitar song with the yams.
I’m the same way with keyboards I’m also not brand fussy if it’s a keyboard that I like and it has sounds I like then it’s good for me I do have a small collection of keyboards and currently my keyboard collection is made up of mainly Casio and Yamaha keyboards but I welcome any brand into my keyboard collection
Great intro!
Hi Jeremy See,Pls mention detail about WHY Do not buy CT-X700/CT-X800? Thanks&Regards
Great statement ...🥰 Thats why when becomes keyboards piano i go this channel .
Sorry men, Respect your opinion, but i believe you are doing a wrong comparison. CT-X800 and CT-X700 is not the same comparing a PSR-E263 versus PSR-E463 you missed the E363. Changing volume on Layer and Split you can do it in the CT-X3000 That in specs goes directly against E463 but with a much less price.
Which one should I choose between Korg ek50 or Casio ct-x700/800,can you suggest me the better choice,.. really hope your comments n i am enjoy your usefull videos....
EK50 is better than CT-X700
@@JeremySee thanks so much,i am really appreciate your suggestion,get usefull info from you,..thanks again Jeremy..;-)
@Jeremy See Yeah, I know, ...I'm about three years too late, 🙃 ....But have you tried simply playing the different layers more softly? You are definitely not wrong in regards to the silliness of making two only slightly different models with a twenty something dollar price difference, but as a kid, (as with many people who grew up below the poverty line), most of my childhood involved adapting and finding creative ways to overcome limitations in the things available to me during that part of my life. You might have to slightly exaggerate the key pressure variance between the two different voices, but if the pressure sensitivity has a good consistent response curve, is that not a viable option if that is all to which one has access?🤔
Is Casio CTX 700 a good choice for a first piano?
Today I tried, the sounds are great for it's price - but the styles are horrible.
Thank you good sir😊
Which one better casio ctk 6250 or ctx 800 and if I compare with other brand which one better yamaha e433 or casio both i said?
Jeremy, which one is the best deal CTS300 or CT X 700 for beginners keyboard...I am your new subscriber
I really wonder why manufacturers make such decissions. I have a Roland BK-5. A really good keyboard overall with great sounds. But one thing drives me crazy. If you want a drum rhythm but not the "rest" of the accompaniment style you have to dive deep into the menu to switch that off. Just stupid. This feature should have a dedicated button with an indicator light, really.
True that. Agreed.
Hey Jeremy, I just came across your channel when searching for my first keyboard. I am a guitarist. Not the best either. I asked the store if I could play my boards through an amp. I have a JC120. I think it would be suitable. This is about the volume. Would it work in your opinion? Thanks, J.
I'm new about pianos, so please, if someone can put a link of a video that shows "layer the sounds of volume", because I don't understand very well. I want to buy my first piano, and I was convinced to have a Casio, but volume is too important for chorus and depending of what part of the song you are. Sorry for my english and thanks to read.
Good morning. Is it possible in ctx 700 to adjust the volume in the layer (dual) function?
No
Thanks Jeremy. God bless you
Hi,
What do you think of Kurzweil arranger keyboards?
Thx.
Which model?
I saw the K110 in sell here in France.
Wich is buy casio ctx700 vs yamha psr e373 who is better plz reply me
you mentioned you can find the psr s550 yamaha cheaper than the E463, where can you find it cheaper if you don't mind?
maybe, in casio department think, that volume can be cover by keyboard touch sensitive.
so, if you want to little volume, don't use high power to press, and vice versa.
*so sorry, my english is not good.
Jeremy talking about volume adjustment not in main tone layer, but on 2nd layer
I'm trying to find out whether the CT-X700 (or ANY Casio keyboards) is truly compatible with my iPad 7, and I can't find a straight answer on whether a USB-MIDI connection is even going to work. Then there is the issue of how to get any recordings off the CT-X700 and onto my iPad via an SDHC card, which I can't find any information on, either. If the CT-X800 is the only model that accepts a USB memory stick (which I have), then so much for the CT-X700
Which ever keyboard name I type your channel has minimum one video for it.💯
Hi do you know any keyboard that support medi or an app that would sych with the keyboard so that you can learn piano and does any of this sound like better for grand piano?
Hi Jeremy, i am a beginner and planning to buy a wk7600 keyboard, is that the right piano for me ?. What can you say about this model?.
Im just starting out to learn piano, but i also want to make songs using it. So which do you think is more suitable for me?
Hi Jeremy I was just wondering if you had an opinion I've got enough synthesizer sounds in my analogue machines. I would consider a home keyboards depending on the sounds .what is an affordable option for bread and butter acoustic sounds I know they're not what you're after but I wouldn't mind a few. Not too bothered by the learning curve as I would most likely be using it as a plug N Play. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated kind regards Heath
Smooth transition of the ct-x series is huge.. specially playing live
Can you use the CT-X800 as a midi controller?
Yes.
Are ctx-700 can use as midi too?
Hi. Could you please advise me which is better? Casio ct-x800 or lk-280?
Hello Jeremy i have a qes..
Ctx 700 is best or ctx 870?
Which is best between Casio ctx870in vs Yamaha psr e373?
Would you recommend a Yamaha PSR-225GM over a CT-X700? Thank you for your opinion!
CT-X700 is much better
Cool. Thanks for the super quick reply!
I want to get a new keyboard which one is better Casio CTX 700 or YAMAHA PSR E463? I have subscribed ur channel for updates.
Hi Jeremy, how do i save the mixed/edited tones in the memory bank?
Hi, Jeremy. I have watched your video. I haven't got yet any keyboard but before buying, I am interested to know the features of all types of keyboard. Could you tell me please How about Casio CTK 7200. Is it good for a beginner like me? I like a creative keyboard that allow me to make style.
Thank in advance.
Why are you suggesting to get a CT-X700 in the video of Best beginners Keyboards of 2019?
You don't buy CTX700 if you need dual voice volume adjustments. Beginners don't use that.
You need to watch the video and understand the specifics. All keyboards have strengths & weaknesses. Which you choose, depends on your needs.
It's a rhyme:
Do not buy - I tell you why.
By the way, what battery powered arranger would be better? Casio CT-X3000?
Well, you mend the complete line.
I take a look to the battery powered Yamahas.
