Since 1980, Casio's mission has been to help musicians find their voice. Now, the Casiotone CT-S1000V gives your music a brand new voice: Its own. Along with 800 stunning Tones and many other features, the CT-S1000V features Vocal Synthesis technology that lets you play your lyrics in real time.

Innovative Vocal Synthesis

"The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all time, but it is the most difficult to play." -Richard Strauss

Boldly defying convention, the CT-S1000V also does what no other keyboard can do: Speak or type your lyrics into the free Lyric Creator app for iOS/Android, transfer them to the CT-S1000V, and play the keys to hear your words come alive. Choose from multiple vocalist models, and adjust age, vibrato, portamento and other parameters in real time. It can produce choirs, robotic sounds, vocoder-like textures, and more. You can even create a custom vocalist based on an audio recording.

Keys to the Kingdom

The CT-S1000V features 61 full-size touch responsive keys in a sleek, stylish case that weighs less than 10 pounds. The easy-to-read LCD display and intuitive controls give you everything you need to perform and create. Use the pitch bend wheel and modulation knob to add natural (or supernatural) expression to your playing, and use the 2 assignable knobs to tweak EQ, filter, effects, and many other settings on the fly.

The Heart of a Champion

The AiX Sound Source delivers sound quality that you'd expect from a keyboard costing… read more hundreds, if not thousands more. Power on the CT-S1000V, and you'll be presented with a dynamic, expressive German concert grand piano placed in a virtual concert hall. The huge collection of 800 Tones also has stellar examples of electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, and so much more, with Advanced Tones adding complex layers that react to your playing. A collection of vintage keyboard sounds is also included, featuring recreations of timeless, sought-after keyboard instruments. Casio even included classic sounds from their VL, VZ and CZ series.

A World of Music to Explore

The Casio CT-S1000V's 243 full-accompaniment Rhythms make it a perfect jamming partner. Simply play a few notes, and it creates an entire backing band that reacts effortlessly to the way you play. The variety of Rhythms spans the globe as well as the history of recorded music, so no matter what kind of mood you're in, your Casiotone is always ready to back you up with vibrant acoustic drums, vintage drum machines, global percussion instruments, rock-solid basslines, horn ensembles, rhythm guitars, and much more.

Small Size, Huge Sound

There are four ways to experience the CT-S1000V's amazing sound quality at its best. First, the bass-ported stereo speaker system delivers eyebrow-raising punch and clarity throughout the entire volume range. Second, plug in a good set of headphones for personal play. Third, connect the 1/4' line outputs to any amplifier, PA system or mixer. Fourth, push the SURROUND button, and the speakers will place you right in the middle of your music.

Production Power

Make the world your instrument by using the built-in audio sampler to create custom Tones and drum kits. You can even sample from incoming Bluetooth audio. A 6-track sequencer is always on hand to capture and build your creations.

Free Play Enabled

The CT-S1000V fits perfectly into your everyday life. It's also gig-ready, with 1/4' line outputs to connect to amps and PA systems. If you're tired of being tied down, just put in 6 AA batteries, attach a strap, and play anywhere. Use the included WU-BT10 Bluetooth MIDI/audio adapter to control other gear remotely, giving you the freedom to take center stage.

The CT-S1000V makes it easy to create your own signature sounds. You can layer, split, and customize the versatile DSP effects, then save your setups as Registrations for easy recall at the touch of a button.
