Packed with instrument sounds
The Casio CTK-3000 includes an impressive 400 sounds - plus 150 rhythms - to really exercise your creativity. Of the sounds, there's an excellent stereo grand piano sample - plus, all of the built-in tones have been improved using Casio's new AHL technology (Acoustic and Highly-compressed Large-waveform). Casio also increased the polyphony to 48, so you don't have to worry about sounds dropping out when you play extensive passages. There are even 10 reverb effects onboard for further shaping your sound. With the increase in polyphony, the excellent sounds and effects, and Casio's Touch Response keys, the CTK-3000 lets you play with incredible expression.

Built-in speakers
The Casio CTK-3000's built-in speakers let you get playing without connecting any bulky extra experience. You can perform and play with friends easily. Or, when it's time for quiet practice, just connect a set of headphones and you'll enjoy great sound that way, too.

Drum rhythms help you write songs and practice
Casio's CTK-3000 61-key portable keyboard offers 180 rhythms, plus auto-accompaniments for Latin music and other world styles. Of the 150 rhythms, 55 are world-styled, and 20 patterns are specifically suited to traditional piano play. You can experiment with Bossa Nova, Samba, Cumbia, Reggae, Calypso, and more! Plus, 150 One Touch Preset keys help you set up the keyboard to match the current rhythm.

Built-in lessons and play-along songs
The Casio CTK-3000 is more than a fun keyboard to play - it's also an excellent learning tool. 1110 songs are in the "Song Bank," among which there are 20 exercise phrases. The songs are divided into short, easy-to-master phrases, making it easy for just about anyone to learn to play. After you master a phrase, you'll advance to the next one until you can play the entire song. An on-screen guide shows you the notes you need to play, so the CTK-3000 can also help you learn to read music and then directly apply that knowledge.

New sound sampling feature
Now more fun to play than ever, the Casio CTK-3000 keyboard has a new sampling function built-in. You can take anything you've recorded - up to one second long - and then connect a portable audio device to the CTK-3000's audio in jack. Load up the sound, and you can press a key and hear it! You can even add effects to give the sound more dimension. Make even more complex drum kits, or add even more expression to your playing with the CTK-3000.

Metronome for lesson support
The Casio CTK-3000 offers a built-in metronome, making it a great tool for home lesson practice. There's even an included music stand for keeping your sheet music at comfortable eye-level.
