Casio CTK-800

5 synth octaves (61 keys: D) reasonable but sometimes a bit tight for some songs
USB (great!) microphone jack (not very useful ...) and PHONES / OUTPUT jack
500 sounds, but the sounds are repeated (unfortunately), good string sounds and piano
4reverbs (0 to 3) and 4 chorus (same), no ability to change its
So he's great but we get tired after a bad moment ... in fact: D

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, at worst manual easy to understand

OVERALL OPINION

It's been over a year I use it and it's pretty good, it goes with most of the songs (sometimes with a small adaptation), great for work, but it's a shame that there is no no effect or that you can not change the sounds or songs (one can only add).

The CTK-800 is an arranger keyboard with 5 octaves (61 keys). It has an audio connector (Amp); noon (USB) microphone jack (5.6 mm) and pedal. It has 500 sounds (some are similar) varied (not limited to pianos, guitars, ect ...)+ 120 styles very realistic (with intro, fill-in, ect ...). The styles and sounds are not editable (except external sequencer PC). It has 100 pre-recorded tracks (50 and 50 different piano) In terms of effects, the CTK-800 features 8 basic effects (4 reverb and 4 chorus). It also has a double sequencer: - 1 part for non-music discs (improvisation and other pieces) with 2 -1 manager tracks the auto accompaniment, and the Split-Layer - 1 game to play with morceuax recorded. All with a capacity of 12,000 notes. 7 / 10

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple to use. There are many numbers to remember cal sounds / styles / songs are identified by numbers (088 = NylonGuitar1, ect). There is one button for editing effects, which makes it a bit painful. The instructions are clear enough, but with some spelling ...). The screen can display 8 characters and use of abbreviations (syn for Sybnthé, ect) 6 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

I use this model for about a year and a half. I have not tried many other models because I was pretty good. The report will for money is good enough. This digital piano is not bad despite quelqes small imperfections. The original amps are not very powerful (2x2.5 Watts). I use external amps 50 watts. Rudimentary functions. The CTK-800 keyboard is a convenient home because he has a self-learning system with original music by fingering, ect ... and for small events (karaoke with friends, family evenings, ect ...) 7 / 10
