SOLUTION: I finally figured it out. You have to press and hold BOTH "Rhythm" and "Tone" (I'm on a CTK-3500 but I think it's the same) to the right of the screen. This takes you back to normal operation. I wish there were a setting that locks you into this mode so you don't have to worry about the silly beats jumping in during a gig. ORIGINAL POST: How do you turn OFF all the dance music functions and get back to normal keyboard operation. It's actually a functional keyboard for a reasonable price but all these stupid "features" keep getting turned on and the only way I've been able to turn them off is to turn off the whole keyboard, reboot it, and then find the sound I was using. It's very annoying. All these videos and the manual should begin by telling you how to switching between normal and dance modes quickly and easily.
Thank you Casio for selling a wonderful keyboard that me and my family use everyday. It’s a fraction of the cost of my daughters junior high band instrument.
This keyboard is a self-indulgent birthday present from me to me. :) I'm not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but it is fun to experiment. I was hoping that this keyboard has the ability to produce interesting sound effects for the classroom. If it does, could you please guide me to a resource that tells me how to proceed? Thank you so much for the instructional video!
TO ALL NEWBIES IF IT DONT HAVE touch sensitive key and weighted keys? DONT GET IT , you will sooner or later get one that does best buy one the first time around
@@jadenpina3989 so does it feels like playing a real piano? because I had a keyboard and I didn't enjoy playing with it. does it have touch sensitive key and weighted keys? like junito says.
@@shawn576 I have this keyboard. Its piano sounds are great, so you don't have to worry. I have a short video in my channel where you can hear it if you're interested.
Me, my son, and my daughter are learning how to playing on this wonderful budget option. As we improve we may decide to purchase something of higher quality. For our needs at this point, it is amazing.
So is this keyboard worth it I'm new and want to learn so I want a good keyboard Any recommendations.My budget is 170$ sorry im 14 and that's all I have
I got problem with this keyboard. When I press keys especially in a chord, extra notes are playing and that make the chord sound incorrectly. I'm so frustrated with it. Thought of using hair dryer to fix the problem that may be caused by humidity and even disassembled it to directly air the circuit board, it is just fixed temporarily but the problem this goes back quickly. I'm so fruatrated because I can't afford to buy a new one huhuhu. Hope there will be a deeper tutorial to solve it.
Same situation with me. That's why i decided to sell my casio 2550. And now I have a good brand new 88 piano with just the same price when I bought my old piano.
@@kimharveysimbulan1212 s.lazada.com.ph/s.2aRas I've already make a review of this piano on their store. Maybe they are out of stock now. Just check it out.
This is NOT a toy. It's a digital keyboard. Any pro should be able to perform on this. Someone who says they NEED to play on an expensive piano is expressing their own limitations of adaptability. Sure, it's not weighted keys, but some people literally prefer this type of 'synth' feel. These kinds of (cheaper) keyboards are all about replaying samples of sound. Casio has been working on these samples for decades. If you listen to the keyboard through its own speakers, you won't get the real story. The built in speakers are for practicing. Also, it does make a pretty cheap midi-over-usb controller. My last note is that Casio makes a new keyboard model, the CTS-300, and it's the same internals, entirely new user interface, and a better feeling key bed (and a pitch bend wheel! and is touch sensitive!)
Rich, how does the feature work that teaches you how to play a song? For example, let's say we download a midi file via a smart phone or USB drive, then what? How does it teach you?
One question. I know its been a year but the wire(not the battery) that connects to the phone, does it comes with the piano or you must buy it at other store? Please reply as soon as possible
Yes, as long as you have a 6.35 mm adapter and a 3.5 mm aux cord, you can plug it into your microphone jack on the computer and it will be able to record. Keep in mind, though, it requires some tweaking to get the sound just right (it usually is very loud by default) Check out a song in my channel called "Undercover", that whole song was made with this keyboard, and I also used it to help me record some other songs in that album.
Hello, you can use the + and - keys on the number board to scroll up and down the tones on your keyboard if you want to try everything it has. With that out of the way, E. Grand Piano is 011 and the Grand Piano is 002

hello, I made a short dumb video on my channel called "in the end" Not the best audio quality as it was recorded with my camera for a joke, but I play a little on it and you'd might want to check it out regardless to see that the piano sounds are actually really good on this keyboard. And, yes, I was using the regular tone.
Hello When you boot up the keyboard, it will be at the very first sound by default "001 St. GrPiano" All you need to do is look at the number keys you have at your right, you'll notice there's two buttons with the labels + and - You need to press +, this will scroll through the available sounds the keyboard has. On the screen, you'll see it changing and telling you which sound you're on. The one you're looking for is "011 E.Grand"

You need to buy one separately. You can find phone/tablet adapters on just about any shopping site, preferably Amazon.
