Review on Synthesizer CASIO CT-S300 black by Jnis Labucis ᠌

The division by model is just price differentiation with a difference of about $50. It turned out more models than really needed. Three models are replicas of older CTKs in a new package. CT-S100 - simplified interface, non-dynamic keyboard. CT-S200 - cool interface, non-dynamic keyboard. It lures you with its appearance and price, then you already figure out which one you need. CT-S300 - interface, dynamic keyboard. This is the first in the line of norms, but in one color. Expensive, because the filling is the same as in S200 and CTK. The CT-S400 is a cool interface, but the design unfortunately veered towards "premium" but less practical. Filling from the CTX line. It is heavier, thicker, the handle and music stand are uncomfortable. Take a closer look at her - maybe you need her, although you won’t immediately understand this, because. "colorful and beautiful" - S200. CT-S300 - the first piano sound - good, detailed. The rest of the pianos are mono and just for quantity. Many timbres are good, many not so much. Starting from 267 comes the General Midi library, you can not count. Some timbres include split/double timbres or chorus, so the original timbres are 200 at most (in the S400, layer, split, chorus are settings for each timbre). Effects - only reverbs, immediately you need to put hall2-hall4. No EQ, chorus, delay, vibrato. There are few accompaniment styles - a lot of "folk" ones - Chinese, Indian, even 2022 chanson 🤦‍♂️. The quality is not always good, because based on the built-in tones. There is no recording, overdubbing, splitting, arpeggiator, harmonizer, but all this is in the next model. But the optimal body, handle, lightness, practicality. For practice with the first timbre + playing around may be enough.
