' a lot of music for a little cash '. That's how ads for the vintage model Casiotones read. When it was first released in 1980, the Casiotone was conceived of as an entry level tool for those of modest means to get into music. It was not by any measure a hit maker or even an instrument for the serious music student. But it was something that allowed Casio to gain entry into the consumer electronics market and still turn a profit. And although those models are no longer in production, they are still very much an option for the casual musician. What a difference forty years makes! Those first Casiotones used a very crude sound generation technology called vowel-consonant synthesis which yielded a not necessarily faithful emulation of most musical instruments. A couple of generations later and there's a paradigm shift in the thinking about the engineering for a Casiotone. The new AiX processor turns heads. The user interface although uncluttered definitely bespeaks a sophistication not in evidence on vintage Casiotones. Although the the latter models tip the scales at around $300.00 US, it's not grievous for the typical wage_earner. It's well within reach of most folks. It's a solid value. This isn't your Daddy's Casiotone. So, it could still be very well said that it's ' a lot of music for a little cash '

There are too many great (perfect?) things about the 400 for you ever to hear about them all. I've had mine for several weeks, and I'm still exploring. Everything useful in the X3000 with simple access; BETTER audio system, keyboard touch realism, recording studio features. As a classical piano, good enough to satisfy a Juilliard trained teacher like me also. Just order one and be patient until you can get it.

[@palavoyz]

Hi sir does it have the exact aix sound chip as those of ctx series? thanks

[@kenmadell5128]

@@palavoyz The sound chip is the same, as are I think most of the sounds, but of course I haven't compared them all. The 3000 has 800 tones, not 600 of the CT-S400; However, all the midi files of my music recorded on my 3000 sound just perfect when played by my 400. Custom user rhythms I created on my 3000 can be loaded as user rhythms on my 400 without any trouble.

[@WillsJazzLoft]

It is impressive. It seems as full-featured as a WK-6600 or 7600

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

[@dnews9519]

I still believe the CT S1 sounds warmer than this one. To me this one sounds exactly like the CTX 700 but it's definitely in a much more user friendly platform. It's a great buy.

[@bazejpotorak5544]

@@dnews9519 I realise there are better instruments, but this one , taking the price into consideration, is amazing. Few years ago it looked much worse,such instruments were more like toys..

[@vbdx66]

Nice demo by Mike Martin. Please do another one with auto-accompaniment not just the drums and also the arpeggiator. By the way this model has a 6 tracks MIDI recorder onboard, as well as the Mixer which is cruelly missing on the CT-X700/800.

[@addelsonnunesdarochapobree5222]

[@honeyb3603]

I have it, its really good like a pro sounding keyboard at a very low cost. A ton of voices and rhythms especially indian classical instruments and rhythms. Best value for money

[@rubenluna621]

Finally I have mine!! Is great great keyboard!!. As a gig musician , i have to say that this little monster has everything to work , the sound quality is good enough, and the weight. .....well is far away from my motifs and sy99 and korg synths.... My only complaint is that theres no damper polarity switch, so you have to choose the right sustain pedal or make improvements on a dp6 which is my case..... Away from that, this is going to be my new beloved baby synth

[@winterheat]

since LK-S450 has AiX as well, is it going have the same German Concert Grand Piano like CT-S400 and CT-S1? I also wanted to play the demo songs like Canon using the Stage Piano but seems not easily possible? I have to upload the MIDI to a computer, convert all notes to a Stage Piano, and then send it back to the Casio?

Hello, thank you very much , I just bought it, but I have a pedal problem: I did everything, put the pedal on "sostenuto" and switched off the U1 U2 and lower part, also in" TONE" but the sustain pedal does still not work after keys played , I have a small hand, and am used and need to use the pedal, what am I doing wrong please? thank you very much for your help

[@kanan4907]

Can you change the reverb on the sounds?

[@hayden776]

To record audio to a audio interface would it work with a cable to connect to the headphone output with 1/8 inch connection to 2 x 1/4 inch?

[@jev.j]

Hi there, Im expecting mine to be delivered this week and just wanted to ask what pedal would it be compatible with?

[@casiomusicgear]

Casio's SP-3 or SP-20 would be great choices. There are also many other pedals with switchable polarity that will work too.

[@Mr.Face222]

I was thinking about saving up to buy the Casiotone LK-S450 in the future. That and the CT-S400 have to be some of the best Casio keyboards that were released this year. The fact that the LK series has been stuck with the AHL sound source for a very long time can be infuriating and the LK-280 was the last advanced LK keyboard before this year. Can't believe it took 10 years.

[@Sauerluki1]

Can you give me any info on the 5 track recorder ?

[@kenmadell5128]

Casio has made recording easy and versatile. There is an EASY RECORDER for each keyboard mode, TONE, RHYTHM, and SONG (play along). Plus there is the Multi Track overdubbing recorder for 5 songs stored in the keyboard ( that you can NAME, SAVE and LOAD from flash ). They each have a SYSTEM TRACK plus 5 solo (only the UPPER 1 part ) (overdubbing) tracks with track copying, muting, and basic studio audio mixing of pan and volume. You can have a pre-count/count for recording. In conjunction with the Reverb Chorus and Equalizer, you can pretty easily produce a song recording ready to burn to CD right in the keyboard ( Just record the audio output on a PC as .wav or .mp3 ). The MIDI files you can save to Flash and input into any software Sequencer or DAW, are 16 channel and very sensibly organized to understand and edit if you must. The User Manual has 20 well written interesting pages starting on page 116, describing how to do it all. Try hands on to do any of it you NEED to be able to do.

[@roderickjmusic]

From the headphone audio output - that is the way the audio was recorded for this video.

No, Micro USB is for MIDI, the other port is for a storage device or the optional Bluetooth Audio/MIDI adapter.

Why casio can not add normal user's equalizer? May be allow user to decide what he want to get, not useless "presets" maked on someone's choice? So, in shop i can't get enough bass from this speakers with this fixed presets (despite beautiful words "bass reflex...."), so i have to buy Korg which give me full equalization.
