Casio CT-X3000 61-Key Touch-Sensitive Portable Keyboard

The CT-X3000 features 61 touch-sensitive full-size keys that give you expressive, dynamic control over your melodic runs, whether you're playing loud or soft. The sound engine employs the company's AiX Sound Source technology to accurately reproduce every nuance of more than 800 acoustic and synthesized instrument sounds—and of course a gorgeous grand piano. With 100 DSP effects onboard including amp models, EQ, delay, reverb, and other classic effects, you can create new sounds and save 100 of your own. With 235 built-in auto-accompaniment Rhythms, you always have a band ready to jam. The variety of Rhythms spans the globe, from old favorites to contemporary electronic music. Each Rhythm includes four variations and can be edited to suit your needs. When songwriting, you can quickly capture your inspiration with the 17-track recorder, then sculpt your tracks with quantization and other editing tools. Four Phrase pads allow you to record up to 100 musical phrases, drum patterns, bass lines, or other patterns, and recall them instantly while playing. Other features include a pitch-bend wheel for a seamless and dynamic performance and two assignable expression pedal inputs allowing for external creative control of various parameters. A 3.5mm aux input lets you plug in your phone/tablet and play along with your favorite songs. USB MIDI enables the keyboard to control other instruments or to connect to your computer, giving you more advanced editing options for your Rhythms and sounds. There is also a separate USB device port that can be used to connect a flash drive and play audio files or save your custom sounds, Rhythms, and songs. The CT-X3000 is powered via the included AC adapter or 6 AA batteries (available separately), making it perfect as a go-anywhere musical partner.
