Casio CT-X700 61-Key Portable Keyboard

The keyboard is worth the price. The most thing I like, it has MIDI interface. This way you I can record, edit my tones, music on laptop and mixer. You only need to have or buy a MIDI-USB cable at your local store. Around $8. But you don’t need all these if you only just want to the play the keyboard. The sound is very good, though Yamaha is much better in terms of sound. You get what you pay for.

The keys have a great finish and are fairly quiet. The board responds as designed.

I bought my son a Casio keyboard more than 20 years ago for Christmas and was amazed at the fun sound effects alone, and the piano was a decent sound too. He still has it and it works to this day… I always wanted one like it but could talk him out of his, so I decided to shop for a electric piano, I had a couple narrowed down between a $600 Casio or $600 Yamaha… both had great reviews and claims to great sound and ease of use. but I was on a budget and wanted something quick so I bought the ctx700 and figured I would practice and learn this keyboard before spending a few more bucks for a better one. well I am glad I bought the ctx700 first for $180. The sound is incredible! and the price? I would have paid double or more for this keyboard… I think I paid the same $180 bucks 20 years agofor the one I got then and like I said it still is up and running. ok, I have meat hooks for hands but have plaid many instruments before including the piano when I was a kid. I have to get used to the keys but they work decent, I find the more money you spend the better the keys are, other wise they all do about the same sounds and effects. the more buttons the easier, because with less buttons you have to press a button more than once to make your choice…the ctx700 is fairly simple to learn but with some challenges. I look forward to practice and spending time learning the ctx700, my favorite rhythm drum set is the Indian fx. the sounds of the drums and voices are so fun to use , I was a pro in ten minutes playing along with a BALI wood movie, so much fun… I say after reading and comparing for a year and finally could fork over the money to get the ctx700 for a price next to nothing … I say BUY IT!!!

I wanted a digital piano that I could easily transport. This Casio fit the bill since it weighs in at around 10 pounds and transports nicely if you buy a case that straps to your back. My piano teacher suggested I spend around $500 to $800. Since I was not sure how often I was going to be using it, I opted for this less expensive Casio model. I was pleasantly surprised. The key action is quite good and the number of sounds and special effects and features is impressive. The sound is not as vibrant as my other more expensive digital piano. I did find the 61 keys took a bit of getting used to in that I needed, not having 88 keys, to revise my left hand fingering when I ran out of keys on the lower end. After checking it out I took it over to my piano teacher who was pleased with the purchase and was surprised by the quality for the price. I think this is a great product for either beginner students or someone needing a more portable 2nd digital piano.

muy buen producto, al principio senti que no se escuchaba tanto como pense, al igual con sus teclas un poco duras, pero conforme lo fui usando el sonido se escucha muy bien, las teclas quizas porque estan nuevas y ahora usandolas pues ya las siento mas comodas. en general me resulto de un material muy bueno y rigido. es tal como lo describe la publicidad. al principio dudaba ya que hay tantos de donde escoger, pero creo que no me equivoque con este tipo ni marca de teclado. lo recomiendo para principiantes y medios. es muy bueno ….

If you need an extra keyboard for just about anything, then this is the way to go. It has a 1/4 jack, so it can be plugged into a recording interface or an amp, and it’s incredibly light. If you want something that replaces a real piano, then this isn’t what you want; the keys aren’t weighted, and it’s not a full-sized 88-key keyboard. In the video I attached, I play the same thing three times; the first time is with one of the piano sounds, the second time is with one of the electric piano sounds, and the third time is with an electric piano sound and a synth bass sound at the same time. The keyboard obviously can be split to have two different sounds, and the primary sound can have a second sound “layered” on top of it. It comes with an extensive amount of features (transposition, saved combinations of sounds (or “presets”), different levels of reverb, etc.) , but reading the manual is a MUST if you want to utilize the keyboard to its fullest potential. There is a bit of a learning curve when you try to figure out how to use the features, but it’s well worth your time.
