Casio Launches the CT-S1-76, a Compact 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Powerful Sound

Casio Music UK announced today the latest release from the Casiotone brand, the new 76-key electronic keyboard, the CT-S1-76. Despite its compact size, the keyboard delivers an enhanced playing experience ideal for all musicians, while featuring a minimalist and sleek design.

The mission at Casio with regard to its musical instruments is to offer unique ways for users to enjoy music that is tailored to individual lifestyles and fosters new cultural experiences under the statement of Sound for Style. The Casiotone brand produces electronic keyboards based on the concept of Make Music, Anytime, Anywhere. Among the different models available, the CT-S1 which features 61 keys, and was released in 2021, gained significant popularity for its expressive sound and compact, sleek body and design that allows it to blend in well with interior living spaces.

The CT-S1-76 continues to build on the success of CT-S1 by increasing the number of keys from 61 to 76, enhancing the end users’ overall playing experience and allowing a broader repertoire. The keyboard features Casio’s advanced AiX Sound Source, which analyses and faithfully reproduces the distinct individual characteristics of various instruments, providing an authentic and immersive playing experience. Despite its compact size of only 258mm deep and 1,140mm wide, the CT-S1-76 delivers powerful and resonant sounds, which is thanks to its enhanced speaker system. The minimalist design is further accentuated by its mixed colour-texture fabric, maximising its potential to seamlessly integrate into any living or performance space. The layout is intuitively designed to provide ease of use by prioritising the most essential buttons.

Additionally, by using the dedicated CASIO MUSIC SPACE app, users can connect to the keyboard using their smart devices via Bluetooth®※, which displays a list of settings such as the instrument tones and metronome, and enables their convenient control directly from their smart device.

*Bluetooth® connection requires the Wireless MIDI & Audio Adaptor (WU-BT10). which is sold separately.
