Casio CT-X5000 61-Key Portable Keyboard

With a wealth of new and exciting features, the CT-X5000 offers unrivaled musical potential for the ambitious performer. Packed with pro-level technology, this instrument offers industry-leading sound quality and versatility. At the heart of the CT-X5000 is a revolutionary new sound engine, called AiX. This stands for Acoustic Intelligent Expression, and is many times more powerful than previous technology. As well as using high resolution sampling, which reacts to your touch for greater dynamic control, AiX applies advanced DSP effects to every tone, for an incredibly realistic sound that has to be tried to be believed.

The list goes on. Use the convenient category select buttons to explore the 800 Tones, and in each category you’ll find an incredible variety of lifelike instruments that go far beyond your expectations. You can also edit the Tones, adjusting parameters like attack, release, filter cutoff and resonance. Connect an expression pedal (sold separately) to control volume or any other parameter you’d like, and assign the Modulation Button to control vibrato, rotary speaker speed, or just about anything else for a seamless and dynamic performance.

The CT-X5000 has 100 powerful DSP effects, including phasers, flangers, rotary speaker simulation, dynamics processing, and much more. These effects are preset for the included Tones, and can be extensively modified so you can dial in the perfect sound. There are also 20 types of delays, 16 types of choruses, and 32 types of reverb that can be applied to the overall sound.

With hundreds of built-in Rhythms, you’ll always have a band ready to jam. The variety of Rhythms spans the globe as well as the history of popular music. Each Rhythm includes four variations, and can be edited to suit your needs. You’ll find old favorites and chart-topping hits, all played with incredibly realistic instruments that sound better than ever. The drum kits come alive with authentic acoustic drums, vintage drum machine sounds, and a huge collection of percussion instruments and sound effects.

The CT-X5000’s convenient performance features keep you in control. Once you’ve set up the CT-X5000 with your choice of Tones, Rhythms and other settings, you can save a Registration for instant recall right when you need it. There are eight convenient Registration buttons, with 16 banks giving you a total of 128 Registrations that can be quickly selected during your performance. Bright red backlights let you know which Registration is currently selected. Four Phrase Pads give you instant access to musical gestures, percussion loops, sound effects, or whatever else you need in the moment.
