Introduction to the Casiotone CT-S300

[@didierloncke3796]

given it to my grand daughter who is 10 year old. With the app and software this is a mini studio for her. She loves it. Easy to understand and lots of support on YT.

[@JR-fm8tx]

What kind of app n software??

[@ronpswegman6242]

My CASIO CT-S300 arrived last week. Very well designed panel layout on a solid quality build. The matte keybed is better than many expensive synthesizers and the pitch bend wheel and speakers are small and sturdy. The comp sheet music rest is a nice addition. 400 tones plus 77 rhythms and the Dance Music mode that allows you to build EDM tracks provides a lot of sound and the Function button opens up an impressive amount of additional sound shaping, including multiple reverb types and programmable pitch bend range. This instrument is loaded and to me worth way more than the market price.

Update - Using this keyboard since past 2 weeks. It is perfect for the beginners and it has a soft touch response which is good. Overall, i am happy with this purchase and would recommend everyone to buy this who has a tight budget but looking for a touch response keyboard.

[@Mika-jx1wt]

@@Aksshay hey is the touch sensitivity really good? Does it really make the difference when you play it compared to a non touch sensitive keyboard? Please?

[@Aksshay]

@@Mika-jx1wt yes, the touch response is actually good. I thought it would not be much better as the price is low for this keyboard. But it is quite good. Two types of touch responses are there Light and nornal. So normal is very good and you'll love it.

[@moseyonover733]

I know this is an old comment, but I'm answering in case it's helpful to anyone else. This keyboard is velocity sensitive, meaning it's louder or quieter depending on how suddenly you hit the keys. A pro would probably need something more sensitive, but I've been able to get an adequate variety of volumes out of it. Good for starting out, practicing and playing informally.

I guess it is impossible to save a midi file created inside CT-S300 to a Pendrive - if you memorize recording inside the Casio CT-S300 - I wonder how you can take it out from the Casio. is it possible only by the connection with a USB cable to a computer? and if you have memorized your midi file inside CasioCT-S300 can you expert in a USB Pendrive or computer or do you have to audio record directly to the computer by a USB cable - those are things we need to know because it is very useful also for professional musicians but those things I need to know there are not explained

If it does that when you aren't doing anything to it, it's likely defective speakers.

[@dorjee4733]

@@dra6o0n too late. I didn't exchange it thinking it was normal. But the static doesnt affect me much.

[@dra6o0n]

I just got my S200 today, it does have speaker issues. 1) When you play it via local speakers it doesn't show much, the sound is just 'lower quality' on average. 2) Plugging in a headphone and setting 'volume' high enough to hear via headphones and you will notice the problem, massive distortion when you hit lower note keys that has to do with 'vibrations' frequencies. 3) Plugging in the USB to use as midi, when you use the keyboard as a 'playback' it fails to properly play most sounds from the PC and if you mess with the tones on the piano while it's playing back, you end up with 'broken' distortions looping if you play certain ones, which can make the speaker extremely loud at low volumes. I think there is a 'board' issue with how the controller is designed or utilized, since I am using much 'newer' software than the keyboard can handle digitally.

[@dra6o0n]

It works fine as a 'controller' for PC Midi playback for the most part so long as you use your headphones elsewhere, not on the keyboard, to rely on the keyboard's speaker/audio out playback is a fatal flaw if not for the basic piano tones.

[@dorjee4733]

@@dra6o0n I don't use midi and all those stuff. I'm into classical piano so it's work fine for me since I only use it as a piano and only use the keyboard speakers. 😀
