Full Description

AiX Sound Source

Acoustic intelligent expression. Casio's powerful new sound source has been completely redesigned in order to deliver high fidelity and tone quality, capable of replicating the subtleties of acoustic instruments with ease. The DSP effects and high-performance EQ are driven by a powerful new processor, allowing you to dial in the perfect tone for any occasion. Beautifully recreated soundsets are brought stunningly to life with such unmatched expression and clarity that you'll forget you're playing a portable keyboard.

Play anything

Looking for a brand new sound? Use the built-in sampler to get really creative. Using the audio input or USB connection, you can sample anything and play it back with the CT S500V. You can create crazy percussion rhythms, or pitch anything to play a tune with it. The only limitation is your own creativity!

Get connected

The CT S500V comes included with a free Bluetooth dongle, giving your keyboard the power of wireless connectivity. Stream wireless audio or MIDI data from the keyboard, and connect to the Casio Music Space app to learn to play your favourite songs. You can even connect your phone to the keyboard and stream music through its powerful speakers!

Casio Music Space

This product now works with Casio's companion app, Casio Music Space. This app will allow you to access new possibilities with your Casio product whatever your playing ability. It can be used as a learning aid with a vast library of songs which you can play along with. Each note and its duration is shown visually in a piano roll making it easy to find the right notes and see how a piece of music is written. If you're more confident with reading music then you can try out the score mode - use the inbuilt scores or import your own to play along with! Page turns can be done with a pedal so you can focus entirely on your reading and playing.

A live concert simulator will simulate the reverb of a real concert space with several different settings to make you feel like you're performing in a wide variety of concert venues. You can also now access your digital piano or keyboard's settings quickly and easily with the app. No more remembering key and button combinations to alter settings - you can now change them in an easy to use and visual menu included in Casio Music Space. This app is available for free and more information can be found here.
