I received my Casio ctx700 a week ago and I am absolutely blown away by how it sounds that AIX chip technology just does it justice that rich powerful sound I bought it brand new from eBay for £199.00 here in uk. I do like some of the rhythms that’s built in, but others I don’t really care for. And the songs which I can mostly play are good, I do love the keys and really prefare these key type rather than the ones with the gap underneath the key. Also the lcd screen is really clear to read, I am going through the keyboard manual and figuring out what the keyboard does and it’s features, but for the price I have paid it’s just a phenomenal keyboard indeed. Casio have done an amazing job making this keyboard. Thank you so much. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Mine arrived this morning, wow! Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful sound, I will love learning on this. Much more solid and beautiful than I thought it would be. Plastic, yes, but looks and feels solid. Thanks for this video!
Glad I dropped into a store today and found out about this new range coming out. Will be looking to get one of these for my son when they are available in Australia
Just ordered a CT-X800 as successor for my old Technics from 1989 for 220 Euros special price from Amazon. So excited because it comes tomorrow. Thanks a lot for the hints on that great keyboard, Chuck.
Angelheart 76 Yep, the CT-X800 is a better choice that the CT-X800 because of the pitch bend wheel and the possibility to insert an USB stick to save/upload date to the keyboard.
Jay Bertram Got mine one month ago, it is really fantastic value for money. The only drawback is that you can’t adjust the relative volume level of the Upper1, Upper2 and Lower voices.
The CT-X series is a serious game_changer for those of us who have been learning to play on a budget. The piano samples are a significant improvement over the previous CTK series which I believe it was designed to replace. You mentioned that there are 20 piano samples - is that just acoustic tones? Also what's the heartburn between 5 pin din midi as opposed to usb midi?
Just got mine too. The price difference is worth it because of the pitch bend wheel and the possibility to plug an USB stick for data save and recall. Awesome.
Nice review !! thanks much Chuck !! I d like to ask you about a new piano cdp came out on sale only in asian countries ?? Do you know when is it coming to Euope and rest of the countries market ? Thank you
Hi Chuck. Thanks for an excellent review and demonstration of the CT-X700. I have one and I just had a question on how to connect my android cell phone to the keyboard to play audio files to sing and play along with the music and how I cancel or mute out the vocals. Thanks so much
I searched a lot and lot and I was not able to figure it out This guy is so confident and calm while introducing with ctx 700 I got a lot from your video Thanks bro 😎
Hi chuck. Which is a better keyboard. The casio ctx 700 or the yamaha psr e423? The casio ctx 700 can it be connected to an external speakers or amplifier? Thank you. Great vids. 🇬🇧👍👌❤️
Hi, wonderfully played.... I have the same keyboard. I need one help. I want to play one song where i need quick access for piano, strings, and flute for instant change, how can save for quick play...
How do you know which tones cut the polyphony in half? I remember hearing about tones that are stereo that do this. Reading the Appendix, there is no indication of such on the tones. Thank you.
Jeremy See reviewed it and said you cannot adjust the volume when using the layering function (both tones are the same volume). How much of a problem do you see this as?
I just got my keyboard a few days ago and, despite having had two others over the years, I am slowly getting used to this and its settings. Question: the volume of the right hand seems very loud and even with turning down the 'accompaniment volume', only the left hand below the split point appears to get softer. I am using the auto -assist chords #5 setting.: 5 finger assist . Thanks so much for this video. Do you have more detailed vieos going over functions?
I just bought one of this (?) same model in 2021. Should be here after Christmas. Any what to do's or not to do's from you? Oh, I don't play keyboard. I did take guitar notation.
Hey Chuck. Any reviews on the Casio CT-X5000 with all the bells and whistles. Thinking about buying soon.Seen the CXT-700 just the extra stuff review. Value your opinion.
Thanks Rusell. Unfortunately, I won't be getting my CTX-5000 review unit until at least mid-July (will review shortly after that)... but this is one board I'm really looking forward to reviewing - they've done a lot of things right!! If you're looking to buy, I can get awesome prices now (pre-order) or when they become available again around mid-July but they're selling fast! Check the website and hit "email for special price" next to the CT-X5000.
The piano and ep sounds seem genuinely listenable. I mean, especially at this price point, but even if you're doing a small gig, they seem manageable. Personally though I know a guy that runs a Casio from the previous generation for short church gigs, and finds enough to sound fine.
@ this price point, this is the closest that I've seen an arranger come to emulating brass and woodwinds with minimal synthesizer 'aftertaste'. You know how when you drink diet sodas you're left with that horrid lingering aftertaste? That's the feeling i get when listen to some professionally recordings where they couldn't pay a few horn players and tried to emulate the sound on a keyboard
The sounds are good, but once again Casio needs to improve the decay and sustain on their pianos. It’s much too short. I have their top end MZX-500 and it also has the same issue.
Hi Chuck, will you also demo the CDP-S350? Basically a CT-X800 with more pianos and E-pianos, 88 weighted keys and an optional 3-pedals pedalboard. Might just be cool.
Most likely not. CDP-S350 is a European model which will only be available in the USA exclusively from Guitar Center. No other Casio dealers in the USA (including myself) have access to this model at this time unless we go to Guitar Center to buy it --- that's NOT going to happen! Eventually their exclusivity will end, but we don't know when at this point.
Hi, I'm looking for something that I can make sound like the Wrigley Field Organ (baseball/hockey music) so I can play at my son's little league games. Can I dial in that sound with the Casio CTX-700. Also I'm curious if I could get a great sond for Phantom of the Opera. Check out CZcams Phantom of the Opera - Xaver Vanus 9 years ago playing in the Theater in Canada. I like his slow measured version the best. He doesn't rush it (like some of the others on CZcams) and I think that adds to the suspense. Thanx. Jeff
Hi Chuck I have a question I live in a country where the electricity is 230 V and I wanna take this keyboard to a place where it is 110V does it come with an adapter? do you think it will work if I make this move?
Chuck you should get the amazon affiliate program so you can put links in the description and if someone picks it up you get a cut of the money and it doesn't add to the price.
"Screen is bright but you need to be in the correct position to see what it says" Is it true ? I mean can you see the screen clearly in right position ?
A blonde or a brunette for a beginning dater? The answer is whatever works better for you in terms of sound, touch, looks, functionality, etc. ONLY YOU can decide that even if you've never played a digital piano before. Go to your local retailer and try both... you will definitely like one better than the other.
@@PianoManChuck hi, Chuck. :) what is the pedal that you used with Casio? I'm trying to figure out if it will accept any pedal type: I've read a review of a customer that tried to use a Yamaha one and it didn't work.
Hello Sir which one should I get Ctx 700 or Ctx 800 Im a beginner and it would be my first keyboard and First time Ctx 700 is 9000 Philippine peso and Ctx 800 is 12,000 Philippine Peso
@@ishadyishady6883 Depends on what you want to with. I found the 800 easier to operate. I also like the lesson feature. For experienced players it might be a downgrade. But I don't see myself using the arranger and sound edit features....
Amp is irrelevant since I record the instrument directly from its "line outputs", not speakers (no amp, speakers or mic used to record keyboard sounds).
At about 2m17s you say the CT-X700 will sound "yet another way if you hold the keys down." Are you referring to legato playing? If so, which sounds in the CT-X700 offer this? If I understand this correctly (and I may not) this is a very big deal for a lot of acoustic instruments (e.g., woodwinds, brass, guitars) since they never sound quite right on keyboards that lack this feature.
The video at the point you referenced, specifically references two other points in the video (via scrolling text) where you can hear examples of that. One of those references is at 20:27 for a specific example. It all depends on WHAT instrument you're playing at the time as far as what holding the key down will do.
I think you misunderstand me. Those examples don't illustrate legato switching of samples. They DO show velocity switching and, in the case of the trumpet ("See what happens when I hold it?"), holding the key down just allowed the delayed vibrato to kick in (it may be sampled vibrato, which is of course nice). I don't hear any evidence of legato-switched articulations. The Korg PA series, the Yamaha Motif and the higher-end Yamaha arrangers have all done that for years. As I said, it's crucial for emulating some instruments and rather sad if Casio's AIX still can't do it.
The opening song is my own composition called "Forgotten". See czcams.com/video/2K7YLXkalxE/video.html The song at 18:31 is the opening to "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who. See czcams.com/video/cVCnKr4r-1g/video.html
Hi Chuck, Great review as always. I Gig a PX 560, which is fantastic , but do you know if Casio are planning an 88 Note Stage Piano replacement with the AiX sound chip ,I am presently looking at a CTX 5000 but would prefer 88 Piano weighted keys so wonder if I should wait ?

Very good review Chuck. I have been wondering if splits and layering were available on the 5000. BUT, you covered that aspect- so good news!
This is very awesome review you have done on this instrument. I am now convinced to buy one for my small church in West-Africa.Thanx

Seems like a cracking little keyboard, and some nice playing Chuck especially the sequencer part of 'Wont Get fooled Again'
Thanks Gary :)
Ive been waiting every day for the 800 to come out. Your the first review of the 700, ive been checking most days
Great video!
800 is pretty much the same, but with the addition of USB drive makes it possible to save your recorded songs
herdjati pravito it also has a pitch bend wheel for more realism.

You play beautifully. *swoon*
Just to clarify, if using that midi box, you would need a usb B to usb B cable. Is that correct?
Can we mix the instruments/organs ? Suppose i wanna play a particular theme music & it consists of several instruments
