need advice for choosing CT-S1 vs Ct-S500/1000 for piano sounds

[dogendo]

I hesitate between CT-S1 and CT-S500. As I mainly use acoustic piano, electric piano and strings, CT-S1 seems the most suitable.

 

But having a rhythm  and acompaniement section is also a real plus.

 

So my question is : if I choose CT-S500 over CT-S1, will I lose a lot in the piano tone quality or is it the same ?

 

Best regards

Michel

CT-S500 and 1000V have all of the tones from the CT-S1.  No quality is lost.

If you get the chance to do so, try out the CT-S1000V before you commit to buying. The vocal synthesis is really unique and fun.

I upgraded my CT-S1 to a CT-S500 and have not regretted it! I briefly considered the 1000V but feel that after a week of novelty I wouldn't use it and it was more important for me to have a direct access button for the DSP.

I tried the S1, compared it with the S1000V, bought the S1000V and never looked back. 🙂 All the S1 tones are available in the S500 and S1000V.

 

I understand passing on the vocal synthesis in order to save a few bucks. The ability tweak and save sounds/effects alone is worth the extra cost of the S500, however. Just kind of essential to the synth experience...

 

All the best -- pj
