Casio CT S1 76 Portable Piano Keyboard Review & Buyer's Guide | Bonners The Piano Specialists

Why he doesn't get old?! but I'm glad to see him everytime. Lovely presentations as always.

Casio should have improved the interface to make it easy to do split and layer. Some of the advanced piano+pad tone is terrible. The pad part is just too thick and draggy. Despite having more sounds than Yamaha Piaggero NP15/35, I don’t think most people will bother to use them because of the clumsy user interface. If Casio insists on using the function + keys combo to change setting, why not just label them like Casio CDP range? And can we have a looping feature in the recorder？ And a pair of 1/4 inch line out, please?

Did Casio actually change their standard box keys they’ve been using for years now? Is this new CT model essentially using the same action as the MZX-500, but with 76 keys?

[@higgy7762]

the principle of construction is the same : plasic hinged 'key-arrays'. So it still has the 'special feel' of pastic hinged actions. BUT quallity of ''Casio actual generation action' has much improved: feels solid, no noise, no clicky-clacky and it seems they don't wear out anymore The keys still have a rather flush 'bottom hit' - very different to the 'firm hit' of e.g. Roland Go.

[@joshaqn8579]

can you mix the sound effect together? Let's say, Standard Piano + Strings

[@marionapoleanbonaparteswor6072]

When I tried the ct-s1 61 in a music shop I was amazed by the sound. But I won't purchase 61 keys, because it's not enough for the songs I play. 76 keys would be amazing, I can carry this easily to play anywhere.

Does the sustain pedal work on the second voice in the layer?

[@duckbrew]

That thing have a hammond b option?

[@PhucThinh1505]

Guys, please let me know if this has enough keys to play most Ghibli songs? thanks!

[@marionapoleanbonaparteswor6072]

76 keys should be enough for most of the pop/ rock songs, only classical piano musicians will have issues. Ghibli songs will be ok, but not for Ryuichi Sakamoto

The Stage Piano voice can't beat the Yamaha's Grand Piano to be honest.

[@fadlihhairin1694]

For this reason, I agree with u. Yamaha is better for the grand piano

[@martinj.a6602]

Hmm yes , They are sampled from different pianos.

🇧🇷🎹👍

[@Lando_Cruz]

Like if you want Casio to increase the sustain or decay of the piano sound.

[@andy0140]

100%. It’s why I stay well clear of any Casio Stage or Digital P

[@higgy7762]

measured decay of the main-piano of CT-S1 61 and Roland GO. On Note C4: Roland Go: 8 seconds (EIGHT !) Casio CT: 17 seconds : this is a good value for such a budget key. Also, differently to older PX, the decay curve is smooth.

@@higgy7762 Give up, there are always guys who bash Casio...I love them and use two PS-X5 for twelve years exclusively

[@kambata1]

Kawai made good pianos. Than … looks like they stopped. Casio started to make good pianos… do casio stole something from kawai? Know how or the engineers?

[@maciejpatek2141]

Does the plastic-like-a-toy feel and weight of Casio ct s1 has been improved in 76 keys version??

[@Rogerthat144]

Nope, there's just more of them 😂 and slightly bigger speakers. That's it.

[@argi0774]

It doesn't make any sense at all with 76 keys
