Description

Compatible with all of Casio’s current keyboard and piano line-up, Chordana Play and Chordana Play Piano are free educational apps (Android or iOS) that’ll help you learn how to play songs using a simple interface. Once connected via USB or Casio’s optional WU-BT10 Bluetooth dongle, you can browse the 50 or so traditional songs in the online library, or import any MIDI file you choose. The notes of the song will then drop down in a videogame style (and light up the keys if you have an LK-S250), enabling you to play the song while the app scores your performance. There’s even a mode where Chordana will wait for you to find the right key before continuing with the song, meaning you can learn at your own pace. Sound output is stereo, and although the speakers are closely spaced the quality is remarkably good for the price - a godsend for long-suffering parents! The only downside is that the mains power adapter is an optional extra. Still, your little ones will get up to 10 hours of continuous use from 6 AA rechargeable batteries. Which is probably plenty. Those looking for an entry-level model will enjoy the CT-S100, CT-S200, CT-S300, and CT-S1. Buyers will need to decide whether features such as touch response or pedal connections are vital for them before making a choice though. Not to be forgotten is the integrated handle featured in the first three Casiotones – a real game-changer for portability. The functionality of the CT-S400 is enormous, making this an excellent instrument for somebody looking for a serious keyboard. Casio’s onboard lesson system can teach you how to play a selection of pre-programmed popular songs (these will vary depending on which model of keyboard you have). It’ll let you practise certain phrases of your chosen song, enabling you to learn the left-hand and right-hand parts separately or together – and you can even speed up or slow down the tempo according to your prowess. Overall, it’s quite a useful feature for beginners wanting to learn their favourite songs, though the process can be quite involved.

Despite its toy-like looks, it’s more than just a plaything. One hundred tones with shortcuts to piano, trumpet and drums, 50 built-in rhythms and 32 note polyphony make it an intriguing learning tool for young minds, plus they’ll get access to free lessons at Casio’s Music Academy.If you require any further information relating to the Delivery service used, please call us at +44 (0)20 8208 9567.

This model adds touch-responsive keys, with two different levels of sensitivity plus the ability to turn touch off. There’s also a pitch-bend wheel – letting you add flair and expression to your performances. The famous VL-Tone VL-1 (1981) [2] [3] uses a method of sound synthesis based on the Walsh function.It’s a bit bigger and heavier, and the handle is gone – so this keyboard has lost some of the mobility of the earlier Casiotones. Dance Music Mode has also been taken off.
