Casio CT-S1000V - 61-Key Electronic Keyboard with Vocal Synthesis

The CT-S1000V lets you bring vocals to your performance as intuitively as if you were humming them. As you play the keyboard, the words of the lyrics are sung in sequence to create a vocal line. Not limited to a specific melody for your vocal, you're free to get inspired as you experiment with different musical ideas. You can also change the voice tone, add and tweak effects in real time while playing, and generally get creative with your performance. More than just another sound source, the CT-S1000V is truly a musical instrument with as yet undiscovered musical possibilities.

At the heart of the CT-S1000V is Casio's unique Vocal Synthesis technology. Smoothly sung vocal lines can be produced from any lyrics input with no further special settings required. You can even play harmonies to recreate the sound of a choral group. Experience a completely new kind of musical performance not possible with conventional sound sources. Two modes are available: Phrase Mode and Note Mode. Phrase mode is recommended for experimentation and improvisation when developing ideas. The lyrics are sung in order as you play for a very natural playing experience. In Note mode, the lyrics advance one syllable at a time as you press keys on the keyboard.

The compact size of the CT-S1000V makes it super portable, and its built-in speakers mean you can play it anywhere without external amplification. The console panel has been designed for simplicity so that controls for volume, tone, rhythm, effects and Vocal Synthesis are intuitive and easy to adjust in real time while playing. Five user-assignable buttons under the LCD screen can also be set up to suit the way you use the instrument. The whole package has been designed for musicians to create their own music and develop their own performance style however and wherever they like.
