The CT-S500 features a range of on-board 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 CT-S500 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. Take your self-expression to the next level with an instrument that’s all about the sound.

No es un teclado profesional pero definitivamente es el mejor en su gama.Tiene salida de audio para conexión a mezcladora lo cual se agradece y al conectarlo a un buen equipo de audio, el sonido mejora bastante y permite su uso en aplicaciones profesionales.Sonidos bastante reales, ritmos variados y bien construidos.Facil de utilizar.

I am a mostly a guitar player but wanted to add some keys to the gigs. I did my keyboard research for a month. And I did find the Yamaha raw piano sounds a bit better than the Casio, that is where it ends and why I picked the Casio. First off, its a much smaller footprint, not bulky! Easy to move around. The key action is very good and I don't like too many buttons. For use, I need a Piano, a Pipe Organ and a couple of other sounds such as Harmonica, Flute and Synth. No Bluetooth needed, no MIDI needed. I'm sure it does that just fine as well but I don't have a use for them. It connects directly to our PA, Stereo 1/4 jacks. The on board speakers are not that great but for learning and practice, fine. For jamming it's always goes to the PA. And it sounds GREAT thru the PA. There is a learning curve to use the controls, sub menus, knobs, DSP, programming and saving the different instrument sounds and tweaking for live use. But once you get it, it's easy to program and easy to switch modes. I use the USB port for powering a goose neck book lamp which comes in handy for darkened stages or nighttime use. All and all, it does the job.

Es un teclado excelentísimo, con funciones minimalistas. Aunque esto puede abrumar al principio por el hecho de tener que estar accediendo a submenús constantemente, se puede acostumbrar a esta situación rápidamente. Solo le pongo la pega de que no se puede enviar audio vía USB, solo órdenes MIDI. Pero tiene mejores sonidos que otros teclados de la misma gamma pero más caros

I went in and tested this for keybed feel against the Yamaha PSR e473. Both are excellent but this one had the best feeling keys (for me). The slightly less wide format vs the 473 makes it more portable, and it has all the hardware outputs I need (excluding midi (it does do midi by USB)). It also blurs the line between synth and piano, while leaning towards piano (which is what I need). So I can apply effects almost like filters, and get a more organic sound (sometimes pianos make other synthetic instruments like horns sound too isolated, or "plucked". This blends sounds better. it is NOT a fully weighted piano like keybed, but it felt good. If you need a piano-piano look at Yamaha or others that try for more of the fully weighted feel. If you do the other stuff in DAWs software, and play a bit with synth, but mainly want a piano...this is good. If you like the feel and sound of this keyboard, but don't need the semi-sythesizer features get the Casio CT S400. If you want to do live/wedding/production stuff, you might want the Yamaha 473
