An ideal musical partner for beginners and seasoned players alike, the black Casio Casiotone CT-S1 is a stylish portable keyboard that focuses on quality sound (from a stereo grand piano to vintage keyboards and more) and user-friendly playability. It features 61 full-size touch-sensitive keys, built-in stereo speakers, and versatile connectivity including an aux input jack, a headphone output, a micro-USB port for hookup to your Mac/Windows computer or iOS/Android mobile device, and a USB Type-A port for use with the separately available WU-BT01 Bluetooth adapter.
The CT-S1 offers onboard effects including reverb, chorus, and delay to enable special sound enhancement, and a one-button song recorder for simple capture of your musical ideas or full performances. Plus, you can download the free Chordana App on your iOS or Android smartphone/tablet to assist you in learning any MIDI file. A music rest and an AC adapter are included, but the keyboard can also run on six AA batteries (available separately) and hang on a strap for truly mobile operation.
The CT-S1's AiX Sound Source technology accurately reproduces every nuance of 61 acoustic and synthesized instrument sounds. Power-on the CT-S1, and you'll be presented with a dynamic, expressive German concert grand piano placed in a virtual concert hall. You'll also find essentials like electric pianos, organs, strings, synths, and 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.
Play the keys heavily and you'll get louder tones, or play softly to achieve quieter sounds. The touch-sensitive keyboard will accurately reflect every nuance of your playing, making your performances musically expressive.
Like many of Casio's Privia and Celviano digital pianos, the CT-S1's streamlined design features simplified controls that allow you to focus on selecting a tone and practicing or performing without distraction. A convenient metronome button helps you keep time, and an easy one-button recorder lets you capture ideas.
There are three ways to experience the CT-S1's sound quality at its best. First, the bass-reflex speaker system delivers punch and clarity throughout the entire volume range. Second, plug in a good set of headphones for personal play. Third, turn on Surround, and the sound from the speakers will place you right in the middle of your music.
Choose virtual concert venues, layer tones together, add delay and EQ, adjust temperaments, and much more, right from the front panel. There are 24 types of reverb, plus choruses and delays built into the sounds. The function button takes you far beyond the ordinary, and every CT-S1 comes with an easy guide that shows you exactly how to unlock the CT-S1's full potential.
The 3.5mm aux input enables you to connect your phone/tablet or music player and play along with your favorite songs. The micro-USB port connects your CT-S1 to any Mac/Windows computer or iOS/Android device with no drivers or installation needed. With the WU-BT10 Bluetooth MIDI/audio adapter (available separately), you can even connect wirelessly to your favorite devices to control them via MIDI, or use the CT-S1 as a Bluetooth speaker.
With a CT-S1, there's no reason to feel tied down. Just pop in six AA batteries (available separately), attach a strap, and wherever you are becomes center stage.

- 25 Velocity-Sensitive Mini-Keys
- Bluetooth Connection with Mac and iOS
- 30-Hour AA Battery Life
- Supports Mac, Windows & iOS
- Expressive Joystick
- Arpeggiator Feature
- Sustain, Tap & Octave-Shift Buttons
- USB-Powered by Computer or iPad/iPhone
- Includes 5 Virtual Sound Modules
- Edit Controls via KORG KONTROL Editor
Featuring a set of 25 velocity-sensitive Natural Touch mini-keys, the microKEY Air-25 from Korg is a slim MIDI controller with tap tempo, arpeggiator, and sustain functions. If you wish, you can bus-power this unit via the USB port, but the microKEY Air also features Bluetooth capabilities, allowing you to connect wirelessly to Mac and iOS devices. Hooked up in such a fashion, the keyboard can last up to 30 hours on two AA batteries (alkaline are recommended).
This microKEY Air is armed with an expressive joystick that allows you to transmit pitch-bend, modulation, and control-change commands to enhance your MIDI performances. When the arpeggiator is on, the function of the joystick changes, enabling you to switch between the three different arpeggio types (up, trigger, and down), to control the duration of the arpeggiated notes, and to engage the latch function--thereby allowing you to sound an arpeggio even after you take your hand off the keyboard. A Sustain/Tap button allows you to apply sustain to your performances as a pedal would. However, when the arpeggiator is on, this control transmogrifies into a tap button that allows you to set the tempo of the arpeggio. The Key Transpose feature enables you to pitch the notes up or down in intervals of semitone steps, while octave-shift selectors let you extend the note range of the keyboard by 4 octaves in either direction.
The controller also includes five virtual instruments (Korg Legacy Collection, UVI Digital Synsations, AAS Ultra Analog Session, AAS Strum Session, and AAS Lounge Lizard Session) and two apps (Korg Module Le for iPhone and Korg Module Le for iPad). Finally, purchasing the Korg microKEY Air will allow you to download a limited version of Propellerhead\'s Reason, or to apply a $50 discount towards Ableton Live.

Enter a Whole New Dynamic World of Oriental Music
Following on from the legendary PSR-A300, the PSR-A350 is our latest keyboard for performing Oriental music!
Players looking for an instrument for authentic Oriental music will appreciate the comprehensive capabilities and realistic sound of the PSR-A350.
A wide variety of quality content inherited from high-end keyboard models such as the renowned PSR-A2000/3000 ensures authentic sound in whatever style of music you play, while upgraded features and connectivity expand the joy of playing music even further.
Powerful, realistic sound and the latest features
In comparison to the previous model (PSR-A300) the sampling of the Voices used in the PSR-A350 has been greatly improved. In addition, we have fine-tuned the built-in speaker system to achieve even better performance. As a result, the sound of the PSR-A350 has been significantly improved and is now even more powerful and realistic.
A wide variety of high-quality Voices, Styles and Arpeggiators including realistic Oriental content
The PSR-A350 features a wide variety of high-quality Voices, Styles and Arpeggiators including realistic Oriental content inherited from high-end models such as the renowned PSR-A2000/3000.
Arabic, Maghreb, Khaligi, Iranian, Turkish and Greek content is all available to the player.
A total of 613 high-quality instrument Voices including
- 1 Sweet! Voice, 3 Cool! Voices and 3 Dynamic Voices
- 45 Oriental Voices and 19 Oriental Drum Kits
210 accompaniments Styles including 115 Oriental Styles (26 Arabic, 25 Khaligi, 11 Magherebi, 23 Iranian, 20 Turkish and 10 Greek Styles)
150 Arpeggiators (including 5 Oriental)
Scale Setting buttons with Memory Banks & Pitch Bend Wheel
The scale setting buttons allow you to create custom scale tuning by altering each of the 12 scale steps. You can change the scale settings at any time, even when you are playing.
The scale tune memory function allows you to store four of your own scales and recall them instantly whenever you wish.
The pitch bend wheel allows you to control pitch in real-time to add realistic expression to your playing.
USB to Host & 10 user banks for Styles
You can connect the keyboard to your PC via the USB to Host terminal to transfer data. 10 Style user banks allow you to store and use external Styles.
You can also connect an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to experience a new dimension of MIDI control with apps. (**)
**For iOS device connection, refer to the "iPhone/iPad Connection Manual"
Audio AUX IN & Melody Suppressor Function
By connecting an external audio player to the AUX IN jack, you can play along with your favourite songs. The advanced vocal/melody suppressor lowers the volume of vocals and melody lines in the original recordings, leaving that part open for you to play.(***)
***Depending on the song, the volume of the melody part may not be affected.
Use Master EQ to adjust the sound
The PSR-A350 is equipped with a preset Master EQ that allows you to adjust the nuances of the keyboard sound with settings such as Bright and Boost, making it easier to get exactly the sound you like.
Useful functions for learning and practice
The 5 song/2 track recorder helps to achieve efficient practice sessions while Duo mode allows two people to play together on identical keyboard sections. This can be very useful when performing live or during lessons.
The PSR-A350 features Yamaha Education Suite lesson functions which offer a total of nine stages—three for the left hand, three for the right, and three for both hands. This helps keyboard students to practice the songs stored in the instrument. There's a scoring function that makes it fun to practice, and a waiting function that adjusts the tempo to the person playing, pausing the accompaniment until the correct note is played.
9 Registration Memories
Registration Memory allows the user to save panel settings as a 'snapshot' to a Registration Memory location and then instantly recall the settings by pressing a single button.
