Casio packed the new CTK-5000 61-key portable keyboard with great
sounds and music-making features, so it's great for beginning players,
advanced players, and everyone in between! 670 sounds, 200 rhythms, and
152 songs/lessons keep the Casio CTK-5000 interesting, while a new
sampling function makes it more fun than play with than ever. Pick a
sound - up to 10 seconds - on your portable audio device, then play the
sound as you press piano keys to spice up your playing. Built-in
lessons, facilitated by the graphic screen, are great for beginners,
and a USB port makes it easy to connect the Casio CTK-5000 to your
computer.
Packed with instrument sounds
The Casio CTK-5000 includes an impressive 670 sounds - plus 200 rhythms
- to really exercise your creativity. Of the sounds, there's an
excellent stereo grand piano sample - plus, all of the built-in tones
have been improved using Casio's new AHL technology (Acoustic and
Highly-compressed Large-waveform). Casio also increased the polyphony
to 48, so you don't have to worry about sounds dropping out when you
play extensive passages. There are even fifteen different effects
onboard for further shaping your sound - 10 reverbs and 5 choruses.
With the increase in polyphony, the excellent sounds and effects, and
Casio's Touch Response keys, the CTK-5000 lets you play with incredible
expression.
Built-in speakers
The Casio CTK-5000's built-in speakers let you get playing without
connecting any bulky extra experience. You can perform and play with
friends easily. Or, when it's time for quiet practice, just connect a
set of headphones and you'll enjoy great sound that way, too.
Drum rhythms help you write songs and practice
Casio's CTK-5000 61-key portable keyboard offers 200 rhythms, plus
auto-accompaniments for Latin music and other world styles. Of the 200
rhythms, many are world-styled, and other patterns are specifically
suited to traditional piano play. You can experiment with Bossa Nova,
Samba, Cumbia, Reggae, Calypso, and more! Music preset keys help you
switch between sounds fast and also set up the keyboard's tone, rhythm,
and tempo so it's ideal for playing each song.
Built-in lessons and play-along songs
The Casio CTK-5000 is more than a fun keyboard to play - it's also an
excellent learning tool. 152 songs are in the "Song Bank," among which
there are 50 exercise phrases. The songs are divided into short,
easy-to-master phrases, making it easy for just about anyone to learn
to play. After you master a phrase, you'll advance to the next one
until you can play the entire song. An on-screen guide shows you the
notes you need to play, so the CTK-5000 can also help you learn to read
music and then directly apply that knowledge.
New sound sampling feature
Now more fun to play than ever, the Casio CTK-5000 keyboard has a new
sampling function built-in. You can take anything you've recorded - up
to 10 seconds long - and then connect a portable audio device to the
CTK-5000's audio in jack. Load up the sound, and you can press a key
and hear it! You can even add effects such as reverb and vibrato to
give the sound more dimension. Make even more complex drum kits, or add
even more expression to your playing with the CTK-5000.
USB connection, recorder, auto-harmonizer, arpeggiator, and more
Other advanced features on the Casio CTK-5000 include a USB connection,
so you can easily connect it up to your computer and control virtual
instruments. The CTK-5000 also has a built-in recorder for laying down
song ideas - there's a large six track, five song capacity. Plus,
there's an auto-harmonizer that adds appropriate harmony notes to your
melody automatically, and there's an arpeggiator that makes complex
arpeggios easy to play.
