    Recently purchased one of these. Very nice for having lots of fun with. I like the fantasy tone 078 which sounds really great.
    The last Casio I had fun with was back in the 1990s. Unfortunately I cannot remember the model except it was a small Casiotone keyboard of about 16 or 32 keys. Both the drumbeat and the harmony had sliding volume controls so you could have either or both playing at different levels if you wished. The rhythm was selected by buttons and I believe there was only 8 of them to choose from. So if you wanted to change rhythms mid performance a loud click was heard when you pressed the button, and the beat changed instantly. I think it was mainly produced as a toy rather than a proper keyboard?
    Thanks for the great review. :)

    I was looking for a keyboard to test waters on my keyboard and piano hobby I'm just unsure whether I'm into it or not so I can't spend much on my first model but it can't be so cheap that I can't take them seriously and this thing seemed to fit all the requirements,it have just enough for learning and gig if you want and also like you just demoed,it have surprising quality above its price range.
    I would love a Privia PX-S1000 but that still way too pricey for unsure beginner like me and CTS200 is over 100 bucks more.
    Just saw one CTK-1550 at my local mall for 150 USD will hurry back to get one very soon.

      There aren't many Casios that can record audio input as well as keyboard input... I think the PX5s can do both. Very expensive though. Maybe try an XW-G1, it has all those features. It's more of a sampling keyboard but you will get a good mix of audio and midi on that one.

Better samples of a piano require more digital memory. If you sample every note on the keyboard for a long time that's going to require more memory than sampling one note for 2 seconds and pitch shifting it to make every other note. Maximum polyphony also requires more memory.

      porta I think we’re talking about the power of the cheaper, lightweight processors that are used in entry-level keyboards, right? I expect in the future that even cheap keyboards will be pretty darn powerful by today’s standards. Casio’s AiX sound generator is a good example. 20 years ago it would have cost a grand to get sounds like that. Then you’ve got the Yamaha PSR-E463 with its excellent sampler plus a whole pot of good sounds. All thanks to cheaper, faster processors. Bring on the tech I say :) Gearfacts

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  5 лет назад +1

      SimulatedReality This is a fair point. Most people who are serious about learning will go for something like a 76 key semi weighted keyboard. However there is a growing force among piano teachers and parents for the inclusion of fun features to provide a bit of respite from the hard work of learning scales etc. It’s also a way of applying knowledge gained - a nice way to round off a lesson. Of course many will use these features as a shortcut to music making - but those students were probably never all that serious in the first place (I was one of them!)

    Does it have a sustain mode or reverb in any way? Cause im not finding anything on internet, i dont mean the pedal cause i know there is no jack for it, but im dissapointed for the fact that when i release my finger the sound immediatily stops, you know anything about it? :(

    • @gearfacts
      @gearfacts  6 лет назад +2

      Hi Antonio, according to the manual, some sounds (it doesn't say which) have a sustain symbol that appears on the display. I guess this means that some sounds have built-in sustain and and it can't be turned on and off. Gearfacts

After a short while the system will initialize and will be ready for use again. It is on page 19 of the users guide. Hope this helps. :)
