Terrific feature comparison on these new Keyboards. It's baffling on some of the design decisions Casio makes. The lower polyphony on the CT-s400, the one that you can split & layer voices? If the CT-s1 had more tones (I need Brass & Reed), and split capability I would have purchased it. Love the colors and those vintage tones. In the end, I purchased the CT-s400. It's still a feature rich keyboard, portable, and fun! I patiently await it's arrival, hopefully next month. Thanks Jeremy for going over these keyboards, really helps with buying decisions. PS...Off subject, in 1983 while I was working downtown Manhattan, I spent my remaining lunch hour looking at stereo equipment at J & R Music. They had two Casio Keyboards on display. A CT-405 and a CT-7000. I went nuts playing around with the CT-7000. Wife purchased one for me at Christmas, and my Keyboard journey began. The CT-s400 will be my 2nd Casio, 37 years later.

Man I'm _really_ struggling to pick between these two right now... I love the simplicity of the CT-S1, and I think it looks so much nicer and more "classy" (plus you said it sounds a bit better). I don't really care a ton about having a million different tones or rhythms since I would be using it as a midi controller for other tones and I can/will use my pc or phone for any accompaniment. The ONLY thing that makes me want the 400 is having a pitch bend wheel, which 99% of the time I won't use, but once in a while it would be really nice to have when I'm using it as a midi controller into my PC. It feels like I'm giving up a lot just to have the pitch wheel, but also feels like I'll really regret not having it on the very rare occasion that I want it... This will be my only keyboard for the foreseeable future, and my first one, if that possibly changes any recommendations. I'm a long time guitar player, who has always had an interest in piano and dabbles with midi instruments and synths with FL studio etc. How much better would you say the CT-S1 sounds? Would it be super noticeable to a noob?

@@tarafarmer6242 I went with the CT-S1. So far I really like it! It does sound nice. I've only had it for about a week now. Not having a screen is a bit of a functionality drawback because I do have to refer to the manual for to change certain settings, but I just saved a handful of screenshots of the settings usually I adjust from the pdf to my phone so that I can get to them quick and easy. Plus I'm sure after a while I'll won't be changing things nearly as much as I settle on what I like and save a couple custom tones, and I'll memorize the few others. Not having a pitch wheel may be annoying on the very rare occasion that I'd use it in the future, however it feels like it will probably be a long time before I'm capable enough at playing to even do that in real time anyway lol. So if I end up writing midi instruments with it for now, I can just bend the midi note manually after the fact if I needed to. I might have moved on to a nicer more expensive keyboard by the time I need it and can really utilize it anyway. I'm not too worried about that for now.

Thanks, as always, for the great review Jeremy! I purchased both of these, based on wanting to compare on my own after watching this video. I ended up selecting the CT-S400, due to my personal preferences. Here were my takeaways.. I'd be curious if you agree? 1. CT-S400 UI and features are much easier to inherently understand. While I like the simplicity of CT-S1, it's a little harder to find tones without the manual in front of you. 2. CT-S1 definitely feels / appears more more elegant and streamlined. 3. In my experience.. I felt that the CT-S1 keys were harder to push down, making it feel closer to an actual piano than the CT-S400. Both are semi-weighted, but the S1's seemed slightly more weighted. 4. Sound between the two, in terms of tones and quality of speakers.. near identical for me. I could not distinguish if either had superiority in this case.

I actually kinda see the CT-S400 as a type of combination between the Casiotone CT-S1 and Yamaha PSR E-373. The CT-S400 has 600 tones and 48 note polyphony much like the Yamaha PSR E-373 but also has the "bigger looking" Piano keys like the CT-S1, The CT-S400 has LCD screen like Yamaha PSR-E373 unlike CT-S1. But Casio CT-S400 does have AIX soundship like other Casiotones.

Hmm....My POV is that S1 is for a To-Go musician who has friends to jam with (like Ac.guitar, Cajon, Vocalist, etc.) in a small acoustic session or something (But not powerful enough to match with those being used on a bigger stage). S400 is more like a hobbyist-level workstation for making a track or entertaining people at home. I feel that S1 sounds are significally better than S400 in rich and thickness of each instrumental sound. It would be nice if Casio releases a 73-key (or 76-key) S1 version. That will even make its market clearer. I'd even buy one for a grab-n-go trip (due to my RD-88 cannot fit in a sedan, but I no longer feel like any 61-key things will be enough for me)

Amazing comparison Jeremy! The Casio CT-S1 is a wonderful, affordable keyboard for beginners who would like to play classical Piano peices with ultra-rich, AiX powered tones, and which looks like an upright/digital piano, whereas the CT-S400 is meant for players who do not want to sacrifice on the number of tones (600) and would love to play their favorite songs with accompaniment rhythms (200). While features such as arpeggiators, harmonizers, 160 built-in songs, etc. are found on the CT-S400 to improve the musician's playing, the CT-S1 comes with effects that can improvize the tone quality.

Excellent (as always!). I have both of these keyboards and love them! For my needs, they both deliver extremely well. Obviously, if you want more voices, you'll go with the 400. If you are more interested in choice in colors and more polyphony, you'd want the 1. However, to my ears, there is also a difference in sound. The volume of the 1 seems to be a little louder, but the overall tone of the 400 is more mellow and feels better on my ears. This difference isn't as noticeable with headphones, so I'm guessing it has to do with the speakers on my two keyboards. Nonetheless, both instruments are remarkable, and at this price point? Yeah - they are both huge contenders!

I have no need to buy a CT-S1 or CT-S400, since I bought a CT-X 3000 last year which I am happy with. I just love watching your video info, the way you highlight differences and explain important things. I’m waiting for this “race” in the small keyboards to stop and Casio to finally make a “real” arranger, with a touch screen and a host of real-time controls. Polyphony of at least 128 voices, separate set for making sounds and rhythms, better MIDI implementation, for both old and new MIDI2 standard, better operating system, more sounds at once on the left and right part of the keyboard (Hex Layer and Synth) from MZ -X series but with AiX engine, etc., etc. Something like Medeli AKX10. I am of the opinion that with such a machine, Casio would return to the semi-professional layers and secure a future in the making of musical instruments.

After I saw review on Yamaha DGX670, and actually played it in store, I purchased DGX670 recently after selling some of my old arranger keyboards. I am very happy with DGX670 except its weight so it will stay in the house. I now purchased CT-S410 after I saw it at store and tried. I also saw and tried CT-S1. After much consideration and few of your reviews, I decided on CT-S410. I am again very happy with it. It’s super portable yet uncompromising quality in tones and functions.

Hi Jeremy...CTS-1 or CTS-500? I'm not fooled by the arranger functions, and hundreds of synth sounds, only need good piano and organ sounds. But the proper line out of the CTS500 make me think it's a more professional instrument. Is that true with regards of the tones too?

Hi Jeremy, would you shoot a video how to use 2 keyboards to get a big "church organ" setup? like a PSR-e 463? where you can sort of program the organ sound

No matter what a "richer sound" you want to create in a keyboard with just preset sounds is (and not synthesizers where you can create a sound from the scratch), I would propose the method below that I like to believe that works for me (I'm maybe just fooling my self though 😂, but you could try with your arranger keyboard) : a) Combine two similar sounds(voices) for the right hand. In your case, two pipe organ sounds.(Not necessarily at the same volume) b) If the keyboard like the SX series allows, add a third sound to the right hand voice. c) If the keyboard allows,add a pipe organ sound to the left hand voice. d) If the keyboards allows, add "Harmony" to one of the right hand voices. The Psr S/SX Harmony type of "Octave" goes with whatever you play.It adds one octave note each time to your playing, which of course is always in harmony with your playing d) If the keyboards allows, use any available effect for a fuller sound A "hit and miss" procedure until you find what it fits well to your combination of voices,your playing and the song/composition. e) Use as many fingers as you can of your right hand to play the "melody" line. Any melody can be played with just one finger of the right hand or it can be played with 1 to 5 fingers for each measure(piano playing). If I'm not mistaken, the PSR E series doesn't have midi in and midi out, so you cannot "connect" two keyboards. Nice video once again, Jeremy🙂

Hello there sir! I got my cts1 already and tried to test the speakers through audio input but i was kind of disappointed with how it sounded. The bass parts are "cracky" although its really loud. I had no problem with the sound as im playing it tho. I guess my issue is a factory defect or is this really how it sounds when used as alternative output "speakers"

Is it possible to configure CT S1 with an app like chordana play?

I bought the CT-S410 today.... hopefully will get it delivered in 3-5 days. I wanted to know if there is any difference in feature between the models CT-S400 vs CT-S410 ?

The owner's manual (or user's guide) has both numbers, and never distinguishes between them (such as one model has or doesn't have features).

One of these or the Yamaha PSR 373 for an absolute beginner? I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the piano yet. I bought the CTS 300 but it’s going back to the store soon for another piano as the keys feel awful and sometimes don’t seems to play sounds. I had tried the PRS 373 in the store but the feel of the keys felt similar to the CTS 300 at the time… that’s strange right? Maybe it was a very used model?

as for me that is starting to learn playing the piano/keyboard i’m going with the casio ct-s1. first i’ve wanted to get an offbeat one on amazon which was 100€ cheaper. but as i started watching reviews of the casiotone ct-s1 i’ve fallen in love with it! as a beginner i do not need over 61 tones and options! i recommend it as it’s also very portable!

Jeremy, great job but I don't understand why you say the 48 note polyphony is a deal breaker. We only have ten fingers. You mean during sustain or some input MIDI?

With layering 2 sounds you get half of that. 24 notes which can start dropping if you sustain alot of notes.

Watching you compare the features of the two , I would say that the Casio CT-S400 is best.. :)

Hi. Thx for your videos They are really very helpful. Just a question about a detail: On the net, when looking at pictures, I have sometimes the feeling that the screen light is blue, sometimes that it is green, sometimes that it is purple. Can someone tell me which color it is? Thx, regards, Olivier

Hi Jeremy, Another very informative and enjoyable video, thanks! I recently bought the Casio CT-X 700 and am very satisfied with the sounds! I've been thinking for a long time which device is best for me. I have long experience with VST plugins, but wanted a real instrument for smaller concerts. First I bought the Roland Go Keys, but I didn't really like the operation and other features. the sound palette is more limited to piano, e-piano and organ sounds and a lot of boring synth sounds. The Casio CT-X 700 also has very nice wind instruments and string sounds! Unfortunately it's a bit bigger than I would like, a 4 octave version with minikeys would be best for me, but you can't have everything ;-) Now my question: Would the CT-S 400 be better suited for me? It's a bit more compact than the CT-X 700. However, I find the operation via the display a bit cumbersome. The CT-S1 didn't have enough sounds for me. What else would you recommend me? Thanks in advance! Have a great time and best regards Tom

I have been learning forever, letting my Casio 625 collect dust for years, but now I want to start over and upgrade. I was spoiled by the loudness or volume able to achieve with 625. Is one louder than other CT1 louder than ct 400 same or less? Does that Bluetooth dogle allow the keyboard to play through external speakers, in my case Bose 600 speaker?
