The CT-S400 is better suited to an absolute beginner who does not know if he prefers playing just piano tones or would love playing with lush rhythm accompaniment styles. li>Headphone connection for silent practice (headphones purchased separately). Available from Thomann in 10-12 weeks, I'm interested in the CT-S1 but the gushing reviews so far on youtube are not enough to go on, as a portable practice keyboard with decent tones onboard it's an interesting option. The CT-S400 essentially imports the tones wholesale from the Casio CT-X700 keyboard but the tones on the CT-S1 were specially designed by Casio . Powerful Bass Reflex speakers add a new power to your bass notes for a resonant effect, which is perfect combined with the redesigned Casio AiX sound source.
The CT-S1 comes with a range of features to help you get the best from learning the keyboard at home.It is regrettable that Casio didn’t carry over the brilliant music rest design from the CT-S200 and CT-S300.
There are only two Bass timbres on board, and they're mediocre at best, sounding quite old-school (but not necessarily in a good way). There’s little or no evidence of distortion; in fact, if you connect up a smartphone (either via the audio input or Bluetooth adapter) they’re good enough to be used for music listening, too. New Advanced Tones use studio-grade digital effects to add amp simulation, phaser and more without the need for editing or time-consuming programming. So my first consideration was the weight of the CT-S1 and of course, the weight had to be accompanied by some quality sound and voices.

Because there is no screen, nearly every function requires an non-intuitive series of key presses and button combinations.It's been over a year since it was released, and I think it's a great instrument when I actually use it.
I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it. Like one or two other beginner keyboards, the CT-S1 has the potential to act as a rehearsal keyboard for a more advanced player. With the pure essence of musical instruments at its core, the essential keys, speakers and minimalist design add to the CT-S1’s simple functionality and operation, so you experience the best in playability and can concentrate on the music.Change the tempo, transpose to an easier key, or even use the AB repeat function to master small parts of the song which you're struggling with. However, there are a number of design differences which sets them apart, one of which is color choice.

The fabric speaker cover on the CT-S1, which has a nice textured print, spans the entire width of the keyboard but do not be fooled, only the extreme ends of the fabric actually have speakers under it.
