Casio CT-X870IN 61-Key Portable Keyboard, Black

This is Casio's best keyboard! The Grand Piano is better than any keyboard south of 20,000₹, the Synth leads and pads are dreamy, the organ sounds are just majestic, and the Rhodes sounds are bluessy. For non-keyboard instruments, this has super chimney acoustic guitars and sitars, soft flutes, and moving saxophones with great vibrato. You can also split the left side into a different instrument (octave and a half by default) and layer two instruments on the right side at the same time. All three can be independently transposed and changed octaves on. I use this to layer an instrument shifted an octave ahead on top of itself, to create an epic always-on octave effect without having to play two notes. If you split the keyboard into two, the left side sends notes in midi channel 3 and the right side in midi channel 1. Otherwise it's all midi channel 1. This is very useful because you can use it to access the foot controller section on a MIDI Hammond Organ like setBfree, or send them to different instruments to create a bass + lead setup in your DAW. I originally bought this just for the midi feature, after being terribly disappointed by a couple of defective Samson MIDI Controllers. I almost got the CT-S300 (same keybed, speakers, and pitch bend wheel but 3500₹ cheaper and with a much older sound chip); but changed my mind after trying both keyboards out at a store. If you don't need a pitch bend wheel, there is the CT-X700 in the series which is cheaper by 3000₹, and the CT-X9000IN (an Indian version of the CT-X5000) is the top end model that has more controllable effects, expression pedal input, and two 15W speakers. It costs some 9000₹ more but is totally worth the upgrade for those who use this live. Personally, I wish Casio releases a budget 88 key version of this. But overall, I think this is a perfect 5/5 arranger/midi keyboard.

Good

Great product. Sound quality is impressive. Beautiful looking. Lots of functions and features. Great for beginners.Power adapter is also included in the box.But Amazon packaging is not good.

I have been using this for 4 months. It's awesome..

Excellent

I am an absolute beginner and I am quite satisfied with this keyboard. Its sound quality and the features it has are brilliant, at leas more then the best for a beginner like me. If this keyboard gives me company then I can spend rest of my life with this product only to fulfill all my musical needs. It is lightweight but powerful. Also, it's tone and rhythm database is also strong and contains many of those of the Indian musical instruments. But why then I put a rating of 4 starts out of 5? Because of following 3 reasons. 1. The speakers are not very good and have many opportunities for improvements. 2. I am missing two of my very favourite rhythm sounds both used in the north east part of India. Theese are Dhak (a huge membranophone instrument) and a tribal drum named Dhumsa Madal. 2. On quick rhythm the keys make clicking sounds because of their plastic body. 3. The keys get scratches of nails very quickly. This is no doubt a value for money keyboard for beginner to intermediate musicians.

It's awesome..nice sound quality..I love playing it... The product was delivered undamaged Thanks !❤️❤️ Will Highly recommend it for beginners and intermediates !

Customer care not reachable at all! Unable to even register the product! Casio is doomed, don't buy anything from Casio !

Good one. I had a very bad experience with Newblue, max is good.

Delivery was on time, and the product received was exactly as specified in the description. The keyboard was well packed and arrived in good condition without any damage. The only issue was that the power adapter was missing from the package. However, when I contacted customer care, they were helpful and provided a suitable refund so I could purchase the adapter separately. Overall, a good buying experience and a quality Casio keyboard.

Box in side don't have adapter
