The wireless adapter is amusing to me. They actually found a way to charge you a fee (average $90) for a device that circumvents a USB cable (average $10) and allows you to download expensive expansions for your synth wirelessly through your home router. Brilliant. I circumvented this money grab by running an extra-long USB cable around the room to my keyboard rack and simply unplug & plug it into any of my Roland synths when I need to work on the PC. :)

Which one would you recommend between cts1 and 400?

This is a GREAT video. I want to ask you. On my region the S400 and the S1 are basically the same price. I have a MIDI controller for live performances, but I want one with great basic sounds (A great Piano, a great E. Piano, a good Organ), which one should I get? which one do you recommend?

thank you man

So much Bad Gear (tm)! Still saving up for a Jupiter X myself.

Can you record patterns in with a keyboard. For example, press record, get a 4 beat count in, play your pattern, and have xm save that pattern?

Wow, I'm impressed, so the XM is multitimbral in a sense? I have an old MMT8 and a Kawai sequencer, could I use either of those and write a "full song" with just the XM?

Wait it spits out the auto accompaniment as midi?

@anonymike8280 0 seconds ago Au contraire! My early assessment as a qualified -know-it-all- researcher is that these keyboards are superb beginner instruments for adults, in addition to their uses for intermediate (that's me!) and advanced players. I am not so sure that they are good instruments for child and youth beginners. Casio has come up with great tone and good acoustic piano emulation for the price point. The issue is, the tones are very mature in their feeling. Kids needs an instrument that defaults to tone which is more appealing to youthful ears. The brightness of the Yamaha sound is still better for kids.

Robert, thank you for your awesome Jupiter videos! I don't know if you still have the Xm, but I was wondering if you recall did your unit shipped with the silver PRELOADED MODELS sticker on the front panel? If so, did you remove it yourself and any tips for doing that? Appreciate your time! :)

Hey Robert thanks for your videos. Is it possible to get the Jupiter /xm guide ? Seems it’s not possible anymore to download it. Thanks man

This is awesome, great work!

Solid appraisal, easy to understand. Thanks!

Very cool melody 😮

Great review!! finally someone talks more about the feel of the keybed, the tactile and emotional connection to the instrument, which in my experience has great influence on my creativity, playing style and enjoyment when I pick up an instrument.

Robert, where are you???

That was fantastic!!!

That's cool! It looks like you were able to create a track much longer than 8 pages. How did you do that??

I bought the CTS 410 for a fun go anywhere keyboard. I am happy! I take it everywhere! It is not my Roland RD88, but I am having just as much fun!! It is worth it. Thanks for the review! Great information!

great

To say that the Mega is wildly fun is an understatement. It’s also a fabulously capable piece of gear with one of the best thought-out user interfaces for a multitrack sequencer I’ve ever used, period. The supporting doc is top notch, but I’m stunned how intuitive it is. When I first saw it, I knew this would be the first thing I’d do with it, and it did not disappoint. For what it is, it’s the complete package and the best music gear purchase I’ve made in years.

Very cool 😎. Thank you Robert for the awesome music 🎶. Super well played and presented 😊. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

marvelous keyboard.

Hello, I bought the casiotone cts 400 and the cts 500, but I realized that it is only compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, does anyone know if there is a driver for them to work with Windows 11?

Such amazing tutorial on the Jupiter Xm. Thank you! BTW, where did you get your coloured stickers to colour code your buttons? Very smart!

Your videos for Jupiter are a lifesaver!

Тhe hardest synth to program. Need 2 University years to study and learn everything. Incredible sounds though.

Wow, that is awesome and sounds wonderful😊

CT-S500 much better

I’m going to buy the cts 410 I saw at the guitar center Great keyboard!!!!😃

Did you abandon your website?

Download links are both dead unfortunately

Could have sworn I mentioned this before (maybe it was on Soundcloud) but I really love this! Beautifully done!

Thank you very much for the great video! You explained all the important details in a short time! Fine! I also think it's an excellent keyboard, especially for the money! The keyboard alone is excellent, the roughened surface also makes it feel very good and can be played very quietly and precisely! I have repeatedly compared this Casio with some other devices and am most impressed by the handling and the sounds! (I also have some videos about it on CZcams.) 😉 unfortunately it has no editing options. Four or five knobs for filter and envelope would be perfect! My selection included Roland Go:Keys, Kork Triton tactile and a few others, but none of them convinced me in terms of sound or handling. only the Yamaha mx49 was slightly superior in some cases. Thank you again for the video and all the best for the new year 🍀🍾🎇

Hello! In the midst of researching a keyboard like this. I had a cheap sampling casio in the late 70’s… early eighties and I remember making burp and fart sample - as any 9 or 10 year old boy would do. It wore out and never until recently with my own children taking interest in music and playing with instruments- I’ve long had a liking for the keys m, but always felt too intimidated to take it seriously- theory, reading, writing. But maybe now is the perfect time to give it a go. The CT-S1 has been my first choice until now. I think this keyboard has greater potential for FUN. otherwise i have to give everything else to the s1. But for me and my family- should be just perfect. Who knows. If it goes well maybe we get the S1 too. 😊

Reviewing a $250 Casio while sitting in front of the amazing Roland phantom was really funny. Thanks for the review and tutorial.

Super, Donna's Summer "i feel love' works well now!!!

I’d love to have heard your Enya!❤

i just bought a second system 8 so im thinking of buying the overlays. im glad to see there is at least this one review for these products. i would have been nervous to order without seeing the material beforehand.

You’re my hero… thank you ❤🎉

My wife loves her CS-01 w/ BC I had a grey one when they were released with the MR-10, mixer, monitor set. Memories.

your shit

I had the 401 in the early 80s!

This is SO good! Deliciously synthetic and 70s!

Yes. I hope to get a 5 pack for Christmas. Would you know why he didn’t create one for editing XV sounds?

My second favourite Japan Heartfelt song.

Woah I didn't realise the Roland Aria series took this design.

Thank Robert ! very helpful

Thanks ,hope more video to learn play a song with effects combinations, 👍
