Casio CT-S1 Home Piano Demo (sounds only - no talking). Headphones recommended!

00:00 Pianos 09:42 Electric Pianos 14:48 Organs 19:46 Keyboards 20:21 Synths 25:04 Others 32:15 Onboard Demo A demo of the Casio CT-S1. This is a home piano, so the sounds are "as is", and are not tweakable in any way - though you can layer two sounds and adjust the relative volumes of each. You can also shift the layered sound up or down one or two octaves, which can give some interesting results that can seem to be more than the sum of their parts (e.g. layering a two-octave up shifted vibraphone over a pipe organ to give it a bit of extra "cut" at 17:20 - a trick I picked up from an old Korg M1 church organ sound back in the day). Overall, the piano sounds are surprisingly good for a unit that I picked up new for under £200 - I originally bought it for our little one to practice on for his piano lessons, but I've ended up playing it a whole load more! The piano sounds also respond well to changes in velocity, especially as this isn't a weighted keyboard. The key bed is solid enough though, and the textured finish somehow gives it a more premium feel. Some of the electric pianos are fairly passable as well, particularly if you layer them. There's a nice onboard surround sound feature which adds a lot to the sonic texture of these (but which can't be activated when listening through the external output on the rear). The organs would sound nicer with a controller pedal - I almost got out my Leslie emulator to see how they would sound - but the main purpose of this demo was to present the sounds as they are out of the box, so I resisted that urge. The rest of the sounds are (as may reasonably be expected of a keyboard at this price point) fairly nondescript - they certainly can't compete with a half-decent ROMpler, for example - but these are always going to be seen as bonus sounds rather than a major selling point (and there are, of course, no controllers such a mod wheel or pitch bend to modify them in any way). A few of them are actually fairly disappointing: I can't believe, for example, that Casio couldn't have found a better choir sample; the strings have a short attack to them unless played really softly, and don't blend well with the piano part unless you pull the volume right down, and the reverb doesn't work on some of the sounds such as the mellotron-inspired Tape Flute (a trait interestingly shared by the much more expensive Yamaha YC-61, demoed elsewhere on this channel). And, although there's a drum track in the David Foster-inspired onboard demo (included at the end of this), this must have been sampled in as a sound ROM or something, as I've found no way to access any drum samples (other than those in the cheesy VL-1 sample). Nevertheless, there are one or two hidden gems here and there that can be layered to good effect - and you have seven user-definable program slots in which you can store the results of your experimentations. The unit also has an onboard MIDI recorder (real-time only, unfortunately), so you can record and play along with yourself - I've had some fun with this and included a few examples in this demo. All sounds were played live and recorded directly from the CT-S1 to a Roland R-05 digital recorder - no external effects or processing were used. I've edited down the original master recording for the sake of keeping certain sections short and interesting (and fumble-free!), so there a couple of instances where I've applied a fade-out to the track in question.
