Casio was originally known primarily for digital watches and calculators. But that all changed in 1980, when they released the Casiotone electronic keyboard, designed to be fun for anyone to play keyboard with no special training or hours of practice. The overall goal was to have fun with music using an intuitive and easy-to-navigate device and tones that replicated pianos, organs, and guitars. That tradition continues still today with their most recent forrays into the keyboard arena. Casio keyboards are jam-packed with enough features and great sounds to satisfy for years to come. And Casio priced them very attractively, as well!

With the new Casio CTK-900 you can produce very special sound creations, using its 536 tones, 160 rhythms, and 232 digital effects. Thanks to the integrated song memory you will never lose a note. The General MIDI interface means you can transfer music data easily. Other features include Casio's excellent, expressive ZPI sound source; IDES, Casio's Internet Data Expansion System, and 32MB Flash ROM. The CTK-900 also includes a massive selection of 232 digital effects, drawbar organ sounds, 5-song onboard memory, MIDI In and Out, and battery (6xD cell) or AC operation.

The CTK-900 and other Casio portables utilize the high-performance ZPI sound source to deliver the most realistic piano, organ, and synth sounds, plus a huge library of built-in tones, rhythms, and DSP settings. The CTX-900 features an onboard sequencer and a mixer, for unmatched creative possibilities, plus powerful built-in speakers to take your performance to the next level. The CTX-900 is ideal for home/project studio use, open mic performances, education/classroom applications, or simply for pure musical enjoyment.
