Akm Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I want to know the difference between the Ctx 5000 & ctx9000in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerBannister Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 A small number of extra Indian tones (and maybe rhythms) - apart from that, nothing, I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does ctx5000 has some western tones in place of the indian tones in ctx 9000in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akm Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Is ctx 5000 good for its price(449$)? Or is there better keyboards at the same price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 1. Most of us here are big Casio fans so we would be a bit biased comparing a Casio to any other brand. b) "better" as far as what? It depends on what you are looking for. I think the CTX-5000 is an excellent keyboard, but Casio has models that have those sounds and weighted 88-note keyboards. OTOH, the new CT-S models have similar (better?) sounds and are smaller. But I don't do a lot of on-keyboard arranging and play along kinds of stuff so I can't compare those aspects, and I can't compare pricing because I don't know those numbers offhand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Holloway Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yes, there are some tones and rhythms that are exclusive to both models, but there's plenty of overlap and I'd say they're 95% identical otherwise. The exclusive content is not at all worth the cost of importing one from outside of your region, so I'd say go with whichever one is in stock near you. If you're in India/South Asia, get the 9000IN. If you're anywhere else, get the CT-X5000. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akm Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hello i am new to music keyboards. Previously i have made music through DAWs only(without MIDI keyboards). I am planning to buy a music keyboard as i don't have any. I have seen the CTX 5000/9000in and it looks like a decent one to buy. Also i need the keyboard to record the music and have good quality sounds (piano, pads, synths, leads, drums like 808s,etc ). Can anyone suggest me the best one for producing music. PLZ help!!!

Just Alex Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Well what I can clearly say that the price difference between CTX3000 and 5000 does NOT worth the number of features you're getting. Stick with X3000 and save the money. I have the X5000, but only because, the store where I bought it, was on liquidation sales and this was the last store display model which I bought for the price of X3000. Regarding the declared price range - $450, there are no direct competitors- Yamaha E-463 has significantly less features and has less price too. Yamaha PSR S series start at $700 and are far better than X5000. If you're looking for best bang for the buck for that money, I'd start looking around for used Yamaha PSR-S650-670 models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witterace Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 One thing I would like to mention the CTX 9000/8000 IN has "touch" button instead of "sustain" botton present in CTX 5000/3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Welcome to the forum. The CT-X5000 is a great choice. A wide variety of great tones and rhythms to get you started but you can also edit those sounds and make your own rhythms. Definitely an instrument that will take you far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akm Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 @witteraceCould you please explain what does that mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akm Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 I am so confused which one should I get Ctx 8000in or 9000in. Does the CTX 9000in really have advantages? (The price difference in India is only 50$, is 9000in worth 50$ more?) BTW, i am new to keyboards. I am interested in making music which i previously did with DAWs(but i wanna upgrade;).

witterace Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 21 hours ago, Akm said: @witteraceCould you please explain what does that mean? The Indian variant has the sustain button(which is present in global version) reassigned as touch by firmware or hardware. It wouldn't be much of a problem as touch(on/off) can be controlled by settings in either keyboard and as sustain is just increase in release time so one can edit the tone to get desired sustain or best to use a pedal. Also, as most of the edited tones in the forum are from global version. Thus, some of them won't work as expected in Indian variant. And as said by the Chandler you should get one on the basis of price and availability. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerBannister Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 There are only a handful of differences, perhaps the most obvious being the larger / more powerful speakers on the CT-X9000IN and the fact that the CT-X8000IN can run on battery power, and the CT-X9000IN cannot. If either of those features are important to you then the decision is made. Here is a video from Mike Martin @ Casio explaining the differences between the CT-X3000 and CT-X5000 (same differences as CT-X8000IN and CT-X9000IN): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roIMF8eYt7M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
