- Since 1980, Casio’s mission has been to help musicians find their voice. Now, the Casiotone CT-S1000V gives your music a brand new voice: Its own. Along with 800 stunning Tones and many other features, the CT-S1000V features Vocal Synthesis technology that lets you play your lyrics in real time.

this is some 80s-level casio keyboard goofiness/genius and I love it! just wish it didn't require an app to use and let you input the vocals into the machine itself
Indeed! For example, such a beauty can't be used as a live vocoder per se! I mean, why Casio usually stops where the fun begins? This could be a match for the Roland VP series, or to the Novation Mininova... This could even enter into the stage keyboard podium (if 76 notes, modwheel, etc.). Nevertheless, it's possible they release something like that, and that this is the entry level or something. But question is, why on earth do they wait too long!
yeah, could at least have some kind of keypad built in and maybe even predictive txt feature or whatevs
Exactly! These app ideas are 100% flawed thinking. We all know it’ll be useless in a couple of years.
@@jm6734 not sure about "useless" and it's also the way that Roland has gone with their latest stuff such as the Verselab/Cloud w.e
More features on an entry level board is only possible due to Apps. Considering the price segment this is the only possible way. With increasing users connecting boards to their Computer DAWs that makes it more flexible on how this board can be used.
Of recent CASIO boards are innovative in functionality and I expect a mid range keyboard with more features and controls than the big players if CASIO have an idea of stepping up their music market.
Bravo Casio. You've just changed the synth game forever!
Would have been a gem, in the 90's...
I still rock my CZ-101. Just got a Klark Teknik BBD-320 and I run the CZ through it. I'm in 80s heaven lol Picked up the CZ/PL 88 Mini for it too.
I remember saving up all summer and winter in 1985 to get a SK-1. I was so excited to get it and it was so fun in middle and high school. I have the same level of excitement for this! I cannot wait to get my hands on one.
we need to get a small Casio (ala the SK-1 and SK-5!) into the hands of EVERY FIVE YEAR OLD ON THE PLANET.
ditto ukes.
I'd argue music is more important than learning words or counting!
I still have the SK-5 which just sort of materialized in my childhood home one day in the late 80's. Do you remember how much you paid for the SK-1 in 1985?
@@Hermiel I want to say, $90 if I recall correctly. Got it From the long closed Service Merchandise store.
My home recording journey began with an SK-5!
@@Hermiel 1)
I was living in NYC...and shopped around at all the electronics stores....and I found SK-5s for as HIGH as $150....and as LOW as $39....so how's THAT for a big difference??? !!!
2) what's a better name: "CT-S1000V" or "THE SINGING KEYBOARD"?
Yeesh.
CAN WE GET MARKETING IN HERE??
I couldn’t love this any more than i do.
do you plan on making a table top version? Many musicians would enjoy the vocal aspects without the extra presets or keys.
I'd love a rackmount version that can convert to tabletop. I like to have as much gear neatly rack-mounted, I don't have table space.
Please, please, please bring out a new Phase Distortion synthesizer. The CZ5000 is one fo the best synths I've ever owned and it would be insane what you could do with the concept with today's digital technology
I think it's strange they choose to make something with such a limited use case before making a modern version of their classic digital techniques. This is definitely cool and unique, but it's less practical than their 80s synths. It's cool they're making actual synths again, but this seems like something that would be fun to use for a couple of days before it would just take up space. We'll see once the reviews come out though
@@curdoggie I agree with you. It had me fairly interested right up until mention of onboard rhythms. Instantly relagated it to 'interesting toy' category.
@@curdoggie You would not use this, at all. There are far better software solutions for synthetic voices out there, already. You can also pick up as many old CZ5000s for rock bottom prices on eBay as you like. That tells you that there is virtually no demand for them when a classic Moog, Oberheim or Arp in good condition can go for more than its retail price when it was new.
@@schmetterling4477 I plan on buying an old CZ series synth at some point, but it's at least $500 with shipping for a largely working CZ-5000. Most of the refurbished ones are at least $600. They could probably update the user interface and include multiple of their classic synthesis methods and sell it for less than $400 like a Korg Volca or Roland Boutique which have been very successful.
@@curdoggie What are $600 these days? Nothing. If you want a toy, just spend the money on a toy. Which synth you buy doesn't make you a better musician, anyway.
I am saving for this synth, seems like a decent one to pair with my WK-1800

awesome!
Disabled Army Veteran. This is so amazing, or awesome . Whatever words can be used for it. Would like to own one of these to play old classic tunes with sounds and may use it for contemporary music.
Probably the best keyboard you have announced this year.
I was interested in this until the moment I heard it.
What a funky operation for this but it's very neat
I hope Casio make a small desktop version, without keyboard and without speakers, but with proper 5 pin midi in/out/thru.
Gonna be getting this!!
Excellent, keep doing you, Casio.
Look Ma! Ima Rock Star! God I LOVE living in this Technological time Jan 2022!
I was hoping this would might be Casio’s CZ deluxe comeback. That said, if I was an cruise ship entertainer it would be spot on. I guess Casio knows their exact market. If they made a smaller 37 mini key version I might get it for fun.
Awesome instrument amyzing well done casio
Thank you!
Para bens para você Casio esse teclado cts é lindo de mais
Finally, a promising breakthrough from Casio! Will they be able to deliver it with quality this time?
Would be nice to hear how this keyboard can cover "O Superman" by Laurie Anderson. If it can handle that realistically, Casio will have a winner on its hands.
Rack-mount version would be great. With actual MIDI connectors.
Seen a lot of people already asking "why not just use a vocoder" but for me who spent a lot of time writing in the past, I can see an advantage of going this route. It's quite likely that what someone might type would be rather different than what they might just say. Hopefully that makes sense??? I can just see it being a whole different way to approach song writing than the standard using a mic...
This is cool, but can I get it in either a rack mount or perhaps VST?
Forgot: In CT-S1000v does it have rhythms with beat other than 4/4 ? Is there a waltz (3/4) or can I make a 7/8 beat loop on the instrument ? Is there a sequencer?
Best innovative Casio keyboard after the Casio Rap!
That's interesting! (Can you do conventional vocoding with an audio-in also?)
Hey Casio - this phone app which is needed to send the lyrics to the instrument - is it just for Apple or you have Android version as well ? I think you had but I am not sure. Thanks
It's available for Android as well: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.casio.LyricCreator
Question for Casio - is it possible on CT-S1000v to upload my own rhythms ? Like MIDI files or MP3 ? Can I create a rhythm on the instrument and use it as a rhythm in songs I play ? If I can create would be great. Please demonstrate how. Can I make a loop on the instrument and transpose it in real time ? Questions, questions
Could you make the voice technology available as a VST/AU? So we can buy it and use it straight in our DAWs?
Release a desktop version, and I'll buy one immediately!
Buy a bigger desk
Love this!
This is very interesting. For non-piano-players, can you make a MPC/Maschine type of input as well?
Desktop version would be a shure sell for me, nice synth
Buy a bigger desk
Nice and different :)
Thank you
Will the firmware of CT-S1000v be upgreadable ? Like via USB or something so everybody could do it on their own at home.
Casio é bom em Relógio e Zéfini !!!!!!
I see cz vz patches mentioned? Is there any way to import actual patches from those keyboards?
No option for using the vocal effects as a vocoder with live input as well?
I miss the og midi ports
No gm compatible bank?
More sample time could be useful or variable rates? Might be a whole nother keyboard then. Certainly looks interesting.

That is awesome
hello, i have a problem saving direct registration bank on usb flash card... only the chosen registration bank text is saving but not the content of the chosen registration I did mount the usb first and format in the casio... what could be the problem? and how can i reset the casio in the factory setting?
Looks very cool. But I am also concerned, what happens when the app is no longer supported...
I wonder what phones it's compatible with as well since I am on an oldschool flip phone...
I think "playing your lyrics in real time" may be somewhat misleading if you have to type them on your phone first. That is almost the definition of the opposite of "real time".
is the difference between the CT-S500 and CT-S1000V mainly the voice part? So if I don't plan to do voice, I can just go with CT-S500?
Yes, that's correct.
Guys, please make the blutooth adapter to connect with phones! Using cable for connectivity in 2022 is crazy and so retro.
Could imagine someone doing Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek with this keyboard
That was one of the first things we tried with it... It can be done!
Casio is releasing really good stuff. i dunno why im so hyped if I cant afford any of them :C
Im gonna buy one of these and insert it into myself
you should only do that with Volca's my dude 😁
OK, that does it! I want one now.
What if app support ends (some day it will), can the vocal synth then still be operated from the keyboard without an app?
I would buy this instrument hands down if only I had the guarantee I can use all of its functions ten to twenty years from now.
Why can an app not be like any other product and simply be finished?
I am a software dev and have had finished apps out there for 30 years, all going strong.
@@AdaptivePhenix Because the average lifespan of a smartphone is less than three years.
I don't understand what's stopping Casio from re-releasing them in a compact form, do you already consider them a ready-made cz synthesizer? just a little update of the insides and plastics.
hell, NAMING it the CT-S1000V proves the bosses are IDIOTS re business!
Casio used to have a rule that they discontinued a musical keyboard every 3 YEARS, no matter how popular it was! (!?!?!)
I'd buy MANY casios if they reissued some of the fantastic old ones!
@@jonbongjovi1869 me too
This is awesome, day one purchase!
Casio semakin di Depan..
Now, how about someone make this keyboard sing a full-lyric song, VOCALOID STYLE?
The Lyric Creator app has a "Sequence" function that lets you do just this. You can string multiple lyrics together, transmit them to the CT-S1000V, and it will play them sequentially.
hello, I also bought this Casio a really nice instrument, I already have my first registration in bank 1 ... only I don't understand how I can put a registration directly on my usb drive. I did format my usb and then put a registration on bank 1 via media as I have the keyboard at the moment... Only the registration name is saved except for the setting itself what am I doing wrong?
Please visit www.casiomusicforums.com and ask your question there we'll get you sorted.
Hello, I bought the casiotone cts 400 and the cts 500, but I realized that it is only compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, does anyone know if there is a driver for them to work with Windows 11?

I would prefer physical MIDI In Out and Thru jacks.
Me too.
This is so awesome sounding. New doors opening😎👍👍👍
It's where it's at. (Give it a minute.)
I also wonder if it has any preset phrases to play with you know just simple things like "HELLO"
apparently it does have some built in preset words & phrases. i saw another youtube reviewer mention this. cheers
@@leecheneler6202 still annoyed that you can't type into it somehow like even just the ability to plug in a usb keyboard would be nice
@@EnochDark yeah, i totally agree, a usb for direct keyboard connection and word input would have been perfect and more future proof i reckon. i also think they really messed up by not having 5 pin midi connections too. such a shame, as i really really like the vocal synthesis technology which this keyboard has. i can imagine all kinds of experimental ways to use it in tracks. like midi arpeggiated phrases or words, glitching and stuttering fragmented vocals, or really dreamy choir background vocals in an ambient track. i hope casio produce a pro, or desktop version with 5 pin midi and usb keyboard input in the future. fingers crossed!
What about languages other than English? The 'rest of the world' so often gets forgotten with speech synthesis/recognition etc.
You can input lyrics in the Lyric Creator app in either English or Japanese. By adjusting phonemes for each syllable, however, it’s possible to pronounce some words in other languages that use the common Latin alphabet (such as Spanish).
It's same like they s500, but with vocal? Or are different?
Was Casio XWP1 discontinued?
Casio quanto custa o valor do teclado CTS 1000v
Finally someone can write a musical starring Soundwave from Transformers! (also this is pretty cool!)
This is going to be a keeper vintage synth.
Wow 😯!!!!
Mini keyboard version, 2-octave, please.
Now the big question... Does it have a 16 part sequencer???
It has an onboard 6-track MIDI recorder.
I already have the CT-S400 but I might be getting this one or the CT-S500
How about a demo without the background music stomping all over what you're trying to demonstrate?
should of called "phrase mode" "keyswitch mode" and included a demo of that in this video. But even with out including the demo, I would of conceptualized it with the key phrase "key switch"
Is it available India..? WHERE...? PRICE..?
happy to see casio making wacky shit again
Dan Deacon has entered the chat
So, this new ‘singing voice’ keyboard only sounds like a Daft Punk vocoder? I’ll stick with vocoders (no entering text through apps, just say the words into a mic for the same robo-sounding ‘vocals’).
Jeff Lynne would love this thing. Elo 3 maybe????
unbelievable ! no one can kill this keyboard 😁😬
And now for the top song on this radio show it's cts 1000v with ......
In the shoulder position, it would be better to have a ribbon controller on the neck, rather than a wheel on the panel.
underwhelmed. Vocoders sounded better ten years ago. Roland's voice manipulation keyboards in particular.
Same. I was really excited when I heard about this, so I came over here to TH-cam to hear it. Nope. Although it's fun and kind of cool, I was expecting something much more realistic and less vocoder sounding.
This instrument is a proof what happens when you get Rich Formidoni to work for you. Now the only thing Casio needs is Bert Smorenburg.
CATsio 0:03
I don't have words... but apparently CASIO does
Sounds pretty good! It reminds me to Mr.Blue Sky of Jeff Lynne & ELO among others !
No midi?
Do a version without the red and you'll sell 10x as many. I just can't deal with red.

MELBUN VOO MOE VOO VO_ESE
Any casio giveaway? XD
I bought casio cts400... now I want to own CASIO CTS500 HAHA
No option to actually use your voice through the voice synthesis engine?
It’s 2022 and this is supposed to be innovative?
Saw it on Ben Jordan channel. Great synth.
Thank you. Benn's videos are excellent!
Release a 77 key casiotone already
no MIDI port!? 😲
USB to Host is the only thing.
@@Mr.Face222 tragedy...
@@vtechk yeah, the lack of proper 5 pin MIDI is the reason I will not be buying this. a real shame, as it looks like a really interesting synth
OMG THANK U!! I thought I was the only one annoyed by this omission. I know manufacturers are tired of putting 5 pin midi jacks on their hardware synths, but midi just freaking works!!! It's a simple, lagless tech that just works for electronic musical equipment when you don't want or need to have a PC on stage with you. Forcing the replacement of midi cables for keyboards is like replacing 1/4" cords for guitars with Bluetooth. It's dumb.
We now welcome the rise of American vocaloids to compete with hatsune Miku
I loved CASIO keyboards and synthesizers from my childhood, but I have a question, why last 10 years' design been so ugly? :( where are designers who design CZ-101, CZ-1, CZ-5000, RZ-1, VZ-1, all PT, SK, MT, VL's? :(
Pretty cool. Something different.
