A Wide Range of Effects for Total Freedom of Expression

The Casio CT-S1000V 61 key Arranger Keyboard features a range of onboard effects, from compressor and phaser to distortion and wah, to further sculpt your sound. Choose from 100 types of DSP effects for each of the four available effect chains, and assign effect parameters to the physical knobs to dynamically control the sound in real-time.

When it comes to system-wide effects, the Casio CT S1000V 61 key Arranger Keyboard offers reverb, chorus, and delay. And because two independent effect chains can be applied to two separate tones, you can switch back and forth seamlessly. Even when layering two sounds or splitting the keyboard, you can still apply separate effect chains to each tone.

When using the auto-accompaniment feature, you can apply different effects to the lead (melody) part and the accompaniment part.

Sample Any Sound to Create Music

Don’t be limited by the built-in tones: the Casio CT S1000V 61 key Arranger Keyboard can also sample sounds from the 3.5mm aux input or your smart device as either pitched tones or drum sounds.

When used as a pitched tone (Sampling Melody Tone), the sample can be used to play melodies and other musical lines. When used in a drum set (Sampling Drum Tone), the samples can be used to replace individual drum sounds.

The maximum sample time is about 10 seconds for the Melody Tone and about three seconds for each Drum Tone.

Small Size, Big Sound

Switch on the Casio CT S1000V 61 key Arranger Keyboard, and you’re ready to start playing. The built-in speakers are designed around Casio’s advanced Horizontal Bass-Reflex System, which delivers a powerful low-end sound in spite of the keyboard’s compact dimensions.

Switch on the surround sound function and experience the power and vibration of the music, while the Volume Sync Equalizer automatically adjusts the tone in relation to the volume, for a full sound even at low volumes.

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

The console panel, comprising an LCD screen and a minimum number of buttons, dials, and knobs, makes real-time control of sounds quick and intuitive.
