Casio CTK5000 keyboard

The new Casio CTK-5000 employs Casio’s newly developed AHL sound source technology, which enables the realistic reproduction of a wide range of tones from acoustic instruments like the piano and more. The maximum polyphony of 48 notes — an improvement from 32 notes — ensures that no sound drops out, even when playing complex parts with auto-accompaniment. These Casio keyboards also feature piano-style keys to satisfy more users.

The keyboards come with sampling features for recording any sound you want or your favourite musical phrases via the microphone jack or audio in jack*2 and then playing them back on the keyboard. Casio has also upgraded its Step Up Lesson function for beginners. Budding musicians can learn songs phrase-by-phrase by repeating the simple steps — just “Listen” to the keyboard play a phrase, “Watch” the fingering guide on the LCD screen, and then “Remember” by playing the song without assistance.
