Great Sound – What Every Musician Expects from a Great Instrument

The CT-S500 is powered by Casio’s advanced AiX Sound Source. ADVANCED TONES are a collection of innovative and highly expressive tones that really show the potential of the AiX Sound Source. Also included are CASIO CLASSIC TONES, a hand-picked collection of sounds from our long line of classic Casio keyboards. A total of 800 tones to discover and enjoy.

Effects to Take Your Musical Expression to the Next Level

Casio’s own DSP effects are also built in – available in four effect chains from a total of 100 effect types. What’s more, Active DSP lets you freely assign effect parameters to control knobs for dynamic, real-time tweaking. You can even apply independent effect chains to two tones for seamless tone-switching. This allows separate effect chains effective even when using Layer, Split, or
when playing the melody and accompaniment parts using the auto accompaniment feature.

Ready, Steady, Connect

The CT-S500 plays nice with other gear, too, offering a range of connection options. The line out jacks let you easily connect to a PA system, keyboard amp, or other equipment for live performances, recording sessions or other setting, and the built-in speakers can be muted if required. Connect other MIDI-compatible equipment
and use the CT-S500 as a MIDI sound source or as a MIDI controller. Using the included Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor (WU-BT10), you can even use the CT-S500 as a Bluetooth® speaker with your smart device. Use the new CASIO MUSIC SPACE app to open up yet more ways to enjoy making music.

Small Size, Big Sound

Casio’s unique Horizontal Bass-Reflex System delivers powerful low-end sound. Switch on the surround sound function and experience the power and vibration of the music, or the volumesync EQ that automatically adjusts the tone in relation to the volume for a full sound even at low volumes.

Sample Any Sound to Create Music

Import your own sounds from your smart device to use as a unique Sampling Melody Tone or Sampling Drum Tone. Combine them with Active DSP and discover even greater musical originality.

Easy-to-Use Console Panel for Real-Time Sound Control

The console panel comprises an LCD screen and a minimum of buttons, dials and knobs for intuitive real-time control of sounds. Save your own tone, rhythm and effects settings as presets
for immediate recall, and assign frequently used functions to the five soft buttons under the LCD screen.
