True-to-life tones
Casio’s AiX Sound Source provides the CT-S500 with rich and expressive sounds that belie its affordable price. This keyboard contains 800 tones that authentically capture the sounds of world-class grand pianos, electric pianos, strings, organs, synths, and more. The Advanced Tones feature intuitively adds complex layers that are responsive to your personal playing style. What’s more, Casio has also included a vast collection of keyboard replications that mimic specific vintage models, as well as sounds from some of the most beloved Casio VL, VZ, and CZ keyboards.
Take control of your sound
This Casio boasts 61 full-size keys that are highly touch responsive, giving you full control over the CT-S500’S lifelike tones. A built-in pitch bend wheel allows you to inject personal character into your every note, unlocking a level of expression that’s simply not possible on a traditional piano. Plus, a trio of assignable knobs can be used to apply effects, filter, EQ, and other settings to perfectly dial in your signature sound.
