Our take on the Casio 61-Key Portable Keyboard

The Casio CT-X5000 is a 61-key portable arranger built on Casio's AiX Sound Source, the processor that gives its tones more depth and realism than most keyboards in its class. It carries 800 editable tones, 100 DSP effects, hundreds of rhythms with four variations each, a six-track recorder and a mic input with its own level control. It suits gigging players and home arrangers who want stage-ready sounds without a workstation, and it holds up against rivals that cost considerably more. Owners rate it highly, with the AiX tones and the built-in rhythms drawing the most praise.

What reviewers say

  • 4.8 / 5203 ratings

Owners rate the CT-X5000 very highly, and the recurring theme is that its AiX tones and rhythms sound better than the board's class suggests. Most criticism centers on the menu-driven editing and the separate expression pedal.

What people mention
  • Tone qualityPraisedOwners say the AiX tones sound fuller and more lifelike than other keyboards in the same class.
  • RhythmsPraisedReviewers like the wide spread of styles and the four variations per rhythm.
  • EditingMixedTone and effect editing is deep, but some find the menu navigation slow to learn.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe the board as solid and gig-ready for a portable keyboard.
  • AccessoriesCriticisedSome buyers note the expression pedal needed for live volume control is sold separately.
