The one thing that I liked most about this professional digital keyboard is its extremely high quality sound and acoustics that border almost on perfection. I also like the fact that musicians can create truly adorable music by minutely altering the pressure applied on the 61 touchstone keys for changing the notes ever so slightly. However, what really bowled me over where the 15 Indian tones and 11 Indian rhythms inbuilt into the keyboard, which when combined with the 180 rhythms, 600 tunes can create countless musical variations. Another feature of this instrument that really impressed me, are the Pitch Blend Wheel, which makes possible to later pitch notes smoothly, for creating that perfect Indian effect.
Although I am not exactly knowledgeable about the working of musical instruments, I was told that the biggest USP of this Casio keyboard is its new sound engine. I also learnt that the engine comes with too really good creativity boosting features of audio-in and sampling. These two features help the musicians to bring in sounds from other devices and use them to compose new music. The keyboard is also known to feature the 48 note polyphone, which, I was told, helped in increasing the possibility of bringing down the dropped notes for layered tones and Auto accompaniment, by a significant margin.
Overall, I felt that CKT850IN is one of best Casio keyboards to have hit the Indian musical market in the recent years. For ardent fans of Indian music like me, it is surely the ultimate musical instrument that will constantly remind them and make them feel proud about the richness and variety offered by Indian music.
