Casio LK S250 Portable Keyboard

Full Description

Fun and exciting design

To celebrate 40 years of Casio musical instruments, Casio have updated and revamped the Casiotone line of instruments. First launched in 1980, Casiotone keyboards were soon found in homes across the country. Casio's new ultra-slim and modern designs are crucial to achieving such a portable keyboard. New features such as an integrated carry handle, longer battery life, piano-shaped keys, smooth corners, and a slim profile make the LK S250 the perfect introduction into the musical world.

Unlike any of the other new Casiotone instruments, the LK S250 features all-new light-up keys. Perfect for learning the piano, the key lighting system guides you by lighting the next key to play. You can even connect a microphone to the 3.5mm jack to sing while you play! At the top of the Casio LK S250 keyboard you will find the all-new LCD screen and jog wheel. Thanks to these two features, operating the keyboard is now easier than ever. So now you can quickly switch between the 400 different tones, 77 accompaniment rhythms, and 60 preset songs with ease! And to ensure that your music sounds fantastic, the LK S250 boasts a brand new speaker design with new equalisation technology.

Dance Music Mode

Get your audience dancing. Thanks to Casio's Dance Music Mode, you can now produce amazing dance tracks straight out of the box. Become the master of any genre. The CT S300 lets you pick from 50 modern styles, like EDM, house, and hip-hop patterns. This will give you a great start with different compositional techniques like layering and texture whilst creating full dance tracks to impress family and friends.

Take your compositions even further. Add an atmosphere to your music with four different effects. Even add vocal samples to add a professional, final touch to your track. You'll enjoy getting creative and producing songs you enjoy with Dance Mode, whilst learning key compositional features.

Casio Music Space

This product now works with Casio's companion app, Casio Music Space. This app will allow you to access new possibilities with your Casio product whatever your playing ability. It can be used as a learning aid with a vast library of songs which you can play along with. Each note and its duration is shown visually in a piano roll making it easy to find the right notes and see how a piece of music is written. If you're more confident with reading music then you can try out the score mode - use the inbuilt scores or import your own to play along with! Page turns can be done with a pedal so you can focus entirely on your reading and playing.

A live concert simulator will simulate the reverb of a real concert space with several different settings to make you feel like you're performing in a wide variety of concert venues. You can also now access your digital piano or keyboard's settings quickly and easily with the app. No more remembering key and button combinations to alter settings - you can now change them in an easy to use and visual menu included in Casio Music Space. This app is available for free and more information can be found here.
