CASIO CT-X5000 Casio CT-X3000 & CT-X5000 Keyboards Casio has released the CT-X3000 and flagship CT-X5000 keyboards, which are equipped with the company’s new AiX (Acoustic & Intelligent multi-eXpression) sound source. The AiX Sound Source is designed to reproduce the natural sound of acoustic instruments. The keyboards provide high-quality tones across every category of instrument, faithfully reproducing subtle nuances and gestures specific to each type of sound. The user can customize tones to taste using 100 DSP effects that combine various algorithms, three system effects (reverb, chorus, and delay), and 10 equalizer presets. The keyboards also feature a wide range of tones and rhythm patterns and a library of 800 tones and 235 rhythms. They include large- magnet bass reflex speakers and a 15 W + 15 W high-output amplifier. The Registration function enables the user to save up to 128 keyboard setups, including tones and rhythms. The user can instantly switch between complex playing patterns and tone/rhythm setups without hav- ing to configure them every time.
