Thanks again Chandler for such a detailed post. It really helps to hear the technical aspects of what is going on with these new Casiotones and related models. One key feature of the Casiotone CT-S100 is its built-in speakers, which deliver high-quality sound without the need for external speakers. Additionally, the keyboard comes with numerous sound effects, rhythms, and accompaniments, making it a versatile tool for music composition and performance. However, I do also note that the CTS-S100 model, that doesn't seem to be offered to the US market, has less tones and rhythms (also no LCD screen), and though it has USB connectivity it mentions no option to connect to Chordana play. I wonder if that is the model based on the CTK-2550? The Casio Casiotone CT-S100 is a compact and lightweight MIDI keyboard that offers numerous features for music enthusiasts. With 61 full-size keys and a variety of sound options, this keyboard is great for beginners or those who want to experiment with different sounds and music styles. Separate from the MIDI Out Octave shift is the keyboard's master transpose setting, allowing you to transpose up or down 12 semitones. Unlike the MIDI Octave shift, this setting affects only the internal sounds. In practice, this means that if you change the transpose setting to +1 and press the C key, the internal sound source will play a C#, but the note sent over MIDI output is still a C. Thus, if you're controlling an external sound source, that sound source must have the ability to transpose within its own settings. However, changing the transpose value does send out a system exclusive message of some kind.

Optional Case with Stylish Rolltop Design

This is what lead me to conclude that the new Casiotones use some iteration of the AHL chipset and samples, even if Casio chose not to mention this in their official marketing. This is not unprecedented in recent history; for example, the CDP-S350 was an AiX board in all but name as confirmed by Mike here on the forums, but Casio HQ in Tokyo chose not to advertise it as an AiX board despite the fact that the new high quality AiX tones have been unilaterally praised by industry critics and consumers alike. The CDP-S350 is more or less a CT-X800 in an 88-key digital piano form factor, but you would never know that unless you poked around here on the forums. In the function menu, there's a dedicated setting for MIDI Out Octave shift that allows you to shift the MIDI output range up or down by +3 or -3 octaves. Once you've accessed this parameter, you can leave the menu Function open indefinitely and change the octave shift value as needed during a performance using the selection wheel or the context sensitive buttons below the LCD display. This does not affect the internal sound source.

The CT-S100 also includes a USB port, which allows users to connect it to other devices such as computers or smartphones for additional sound editing and recording. Its compact size and battery-powered option make it easy to take on the go, and the keyboard's interface is user-friendly and intuitive.I am certain that the CT-S100 can still work with Chordana Play for Piano, the omission of any mention of its compatibility is likely to be an error in marketing. The CT-S100 is barely even marketed at all in the US and has scarcely been mentioned in any of the international marketing for the other Casiotone models, which would probably explain why the product info is relatively incomplete right now. I was only borrowing my CT-S200 so I no longer have it for testing. The Reverb effects are in stereo from what I can remember. I didn’t really listen to the other tones closely enough to determine if they were stereo or not. Our nominated carrier is Parcel Force.

Piano-style Keyboard

Yes, it is true that the CT-S200, the CT-S300, the LK-S250, and the CTK-2550 all have the same set of 400 tones, 77 Rhythms, 60 preset songs and 10 Reverb effects. Closer inspection of the CT-S200’s manual reveals that the tone lists of the CTK-2550 and the CT-S200 are identical between the two models, even down to the Program Change and bank select values associated with each individual tone (side note, it’s weird that the CTK-2550 even lists the Program Change and Bank select MIDI values of the tones when it has no proper MIDI capabilities). This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. The accompaniment, rhythm, and song data is not sent out over MIDI. However, turning Local Control off will still disable these parts in the internal sound source. None of the Dance mode parts or effects are transmitted through MIDI, but the section of the keyboard that is not used for controlling dance mode features will still send MIDI note data like normal. The CT-S200's keyboard is not velocity sensitive during normal operation. However, by adjusting the "MIDI Out Velocity" option in the Function menu, you can specify a static velocity value between 0 and 127 to be transmitted from the keyboard to an external sound source. The default setting is a velocity of 64.
