CT-X9000IN 61-Key Portable Keyboard, Black

Good to have such a piano, lots of features, good tones and rhythems. Sound quality is excellent. I bought this just a week ago for my learning and home use. Worth buying it. Overall best piano at this price range.

It is a very good keyboard with option of adding your custom sounds as well l, work perfectly with almost every device and accessories.

I have been using this keyboard (with a Havana sustain pedal) for over a year & it is an absolute joy to play on. I have grown up playing on an acoustic piano & generally prefer a piano to a keyboard. When I moved to my own house, I was looking for something that would be as enjoyable to play on without being as expensive or space consuming. I have always have used Yamaha and Korg keyboards till I purchased this & had always considered the Casio brand as cheaper & lower quality. I had been looking at budget keyboards (Yamaha E463, i500) during my research & many reviews had suggested to go for the Casio instead. This keyboard has met all my expectations. While I will list out the pros & cons. Pros 1. Great feeling keybed. The keys are not weighted, but they feel semi weighted & after practicing pretty much only on this, I was able to play/perform without any issues on an upright piano and grand piano. When i was buying the keyboard, few people spoke about the noise made by the keys. It does make some noise, but if you play at a normal piano volume, it's not audible at all (the noise). 2. The stage piano sound is really nice - one of the best I have heard on a portable keyboard & better than many pricier keyboards. If you are (like me) using it as a cheap piano, it's awesome. The stage piano is the default voice.So you can just turn on the keyboard and play. 3. The other voices are also pretty good - bass, guitars, strings, drums. The keyboard has a great sound engine that uses Casio's proprietary AiX (Acoustic Intelligent Expression) Sound Source technology. 4. The speakers are quite fantastic at 15+15W. I was able to accompany a full choir of 30 people in a small hall with just the keyboard speakers. While I don't necessarily advise using the onboard speakers for any performance, it's quite usable for practicing in the house or a jam session or rehearsal, without the need to connect to an amp. 5. You can play audio through the onboard speakers. I use it to connect my phone (through a cable) to play backing tracks for my keyboard practice. 6. The keyboard is class compliant, which means you can connect it to a computer & use it (with any DAW, VSTs etc) without needing to download/update any drivers. It was even working when I connected it to my iPad. 7. The keyboard has a lot of features in general - 17 track midi recorder, 42 channel mixer, user created rhythms with upto 8 parts, DSP & system effects, arpeggiator. I have used none of them. 8. The Casio Forums are fantastic, helpful & active. Cons 1. The interface is unintuitive & complicated to use. The keyboard has a truckload of features & since I don't feel the need to use them, this is not a deal breaker for me. But if you do, it can get pretty annoying. I would suggest to make a list of all the features you would like to use & then visit an outlet that has this keyboard and see how easy/difficult it is to use. 2. No touch screen. The screen is pretty small as well. 3. No Bluetooth connectivity. 4. Speaker clarity isnt that great at full volume. 5. Some people hate the keybed, so check if it's a problem for you. Overall it's a fantastic budget keyboard, better than the other keyboards in this range. I would suggest trying it out at a local music shop before buying it from Amazon. If you are a beginner exploring this, do ask an experienced friend or your teacher to try it out before buying, but I would strongly recommend it.

I used this keyboard around 5-6 months, here I am giving a honest review on the basis of my experience... I used both the keyboards Casio ctx 9000in and Yamaha i500... Both have there pros and cons that are:- Casio 9000in definitely has advantage in multiple inbuilt features, powerful speakers, killer looks with black and red combination but has only one con that is it's keys makes noise and not silent as Yamaha but wait, that noise is not that much loud or keys stucks that you can't play it.... It is still very smooth and easy to play if you focus only on your practice... In other hand Yamaha has somewhat better keys but less features then Casio, slower speakers, normal keyboard looks, See I used both the keyboard deeply and I can clearly say that, If I again got a condition of choosing a keyboard, I will choose ctx 9000in only...

It's a masterpiece

Excellent product. Good and clear sound quality, packaging was excellent, Design is also good

I have been using the Casio CT-X9000IN keyboard for the last two years, and this has been my experience: * Loading external rhythms/styles is extremely difficult. * There is no built-in option to convert Yamaha STY files into Casio AC7 files, which significantly limits the availability of compatible styles. * Due to this limitation, many users may eventually consider purchasing a Yamaha keyboard instead. * In my opinion, this keyboard is not the best choice for church music purposes. Yamaha keyboards offer better style compatibility, easier rhythm management, and a wider range of worship-friendly features. For church use, I would recommend considering a Yamaha series keyboard.

Very good keyboard, lots of voices and styles. It might require a little familiarisation at the start but eventually once you get the hang of it it's very fun to play and practice. It has a few inbuilt styles that are a replica of pop/rock songs so that's also fun to play. Overall touch sensitivity is also accurate and adapter and build is very sturdy.
