Casio CT-X and CT-S: the voice and the effects for each genre

Which kind of voice to pick and which effects to put on it on your Casio CT-X or CT-S to get the keyboard sound of gospel, neo soul, worship, jazz, lo-fi, synthwave or cumbia. It works for CT-X700, CT-X800, CT-X3000, CT-X5000, CT-S300, CT-S500 and CT-S1000V.

Where the effects are

On Casio keyboards, reverb and chorus are chosen in the Function menu (type and amount). The CT-X3000 and CT-X5000 also have per-tone DSP, with types such as rotary, tremolo, phaser, delay or distortion; on models without DSP, stick to the recipe's reverb and chorus.

Table by genre

Menu and effect-type names change between models and firmware versions: if you can't find one, look for the closest in your keyboard's manual. There are no voice numbers here because we have not checked them model by model. Each recipe has all its values (mix, feedback, predelay…) on its page.

The song you want

The recipes are starting points by genre. For the sound of a specific song, scan it with Piano Effect: in 10–30 seconds it tells you the timbre and the effects with their measured values, and you carry them over to your Casio with this table of names.
