CasioCT-X700 – Portable 61-Key Keyboard | 600 Tones, 195 Rhythms, and AiX Sound Engine | Perfect for Any Musician

This is a great Keyboard for people starting out or for those with experience. The AIX sound chip in these sound great as most Casio keyboards do. The on board speakers aren't bad but I just wire mine into external speakers as well as use studio headphones. The Keyboard has a metronome and over 600 sounds and rhythms and such no complaints there. You can even connect the Keyboard to your pc or other devices to use with DAW or a piano lesson app which is a awesome bonus if your into digital music creation. Its a solid Build as far as quality and the keys have a nice firm feeling under each press. This is a keyboard I could see someone practicing with and performing with. Hope this helps anyone who is interested.

I wanted a digital piano that I could easily transport. This Casio fit the bill since it weighs in at around 10 pounds and transports nicely if you buy a case that straps to your back. My piano teacher suggested I spend around $500 to $800. Since I was not sure how often I was going to be using it, I opted for this less expensive Casio model. I was pleasantly surprised. The key action is quite good and the number of sounds and special effects and features is impressive. The sound is not as vibrant as my other more expensive digital piano. I did find the 61 keys took a bit of getting used to in that I needed, not having 88 keys, to revise my left hand fingering when I ran out of keys on the lower end. After checking it out I took it over to my piano teacher who was pleased with the purchase and was surprised by the quality for the price. I think this is a great product for either beginner students or someone needing a more portable 2nd digital piano.

I spent some time researching beginner keyboards. Space is limited, and I wanted a keyboard from a reputable brand. Not a professional musician --just a hobbyist whose played piano and arranger keyboards, so I have an idea of what I really need. I'm not expecting it to sound like a piano because it's not. Sound quality in is good but this is not a pro instrument. It's not a toy either. I think most people to test the waters, or have fun. Budding keyboardists will discover lessons and scales, along with song bank. I warn you: most of the songs are old-,fashioned. Sure, you'll find Beethoven, Mary had a little lamb and Jingle Bells, but American Patrol. There's a lot of Stephen Foster. It does not have Bluetooth, but you can still use headphones with a 3.5 mm jack You need to purchase a special adapter.Overall, I think this was a good price. Keep in mind that just 2 years ago, this model was priced at $175, but the prices of most consumer goods have gone up. (Not saying this is a steal, but a good value.)DELIVERY: This item arrived quickly, and in in good condition. However, Amazon did not wrap the package, and anyone could have picked it up from my door. Fortunately, we were home.

I know nothing about pianos and am an absolute beginner. This keyboard is right for me. Many voices and samples from baby songs to classical. The best part I love this keyboard is the lessons. It teaches me how to play any built-in music one phase at a time. Each lesson breaks up into many phases and I started learning one phase at time. It even shows me which figure to use on each note. It teaches me to practice my right hand then my left hand. When I learned both hands separately then practice both hands together. I do not need to know how to read the sheet music. I learned Fur Elise by just following the lesson. There are many other famous classical built-in the library. I tried the Yamaha lessons too. It does not show you what fingers to use. The lesson is not as easy to follow comparing with this Casio. By the way, not all Casio or Yamaha comes with lessons. Yes, there are many online piano lessons but they are not free.The sound quality of this keyboard is good for its price. The keys are sort of slippery if you play long enough. But for less than $200 including tax, this is a good deal. However, if you are serious in learning how to play pianos and want to be a muscian or want to obtain a certificate. I think a full 88-key electric piano is right for you.

First off, thank you to all the wonderful people who reviewed this keyboard before me. It gave me the extra confidence that I was making the right decision to purchase it. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Casio keyboard. It's exactly what I wanted. I am a beginner but I don't see ever outgrowing it. Initially, I was overwhelmed as I read the booklet that came with it. If that is you, do what I did, PUT THE MANUAL DOWN AND JUST PLAY! The sounds are fabulous and I'm enjoying trying them as I go along and see which ones are my favorites. I know the keyboard is capable of some serious things (i.e. Midi, split sounds, etc.) but for now, I will just enjoy playing music. My purchase came with 6 weeks of Simply Piano online lessons and those have been terrific - really helping me so definitely take advantage of that resource. Hope this review helps others come to the same decision to purchase it and enrich their lives.

The media could not be loaded. If you need an extra keyboard for just about anything, then this is the way to go. It has a 1/4 jack, so it can be plugged into a recording interface or an amp, and it's incredibly light. If you want something that replaces a real piano, then this isn't what you want; the keys aren't weighted, and it's not a full-sized 88-key keyboard. In the video I attached, I play the same thing three times; the first time is with one of the piano sounds, the second time is with one of the electric piano sounds, and the third time is with an electric piano sound and a synth bass sound at the same time. The keyboard obviously can be split to have two different sounds, and the primary sound can have a second sound "layered" on top of it. It comes with an extensive amount of features (transposition, saved combinations of sounds (or "presets"), different levels of reverb, etc.) , but reading the manual is a MUST if you want to utilize the keyboard to its fullest potential. There is a bit of a learning curve when you try to figure out how to use the features, but it's well worth your time.
