All built-in tones, including piano and acoustic instrument tones, now sound better than ever before! 48-tone maximum polyphony provides plenty of margin to minimize the chance of notes being dropped when tones are layered and when playing with Auto Accompaniment.

Piano-style keyboard: An easy-to-play keyboard with an appearance resembling that of an acoustic piano.

Touch Response: Touch Response lets you add delicate nuances to notes by varying how much pressure you apply to keyboard keys.

Digital effects: Use effects to add reverb for more depth and breadth in your music.

Chord Book: You can use the Chord Book to look up chords you do not know how to play. You can hear what a chord sounds like and a simple operation even shows you inverted forms of the chord, making the Chord Book a valuable reference.

Entertainment features!

Makes music more fun than ever before

Sampling function: You can sample a sound from a portable audio player or other device, and then play the sound on the keyboard. You also can use sampled sounds to compose music. The sampling feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly creative.

Start playback of the portable audio player connected to the keyboard’s AUDIO IN jack to sample voices, musical phrases, and other sounds in the playback

Playing: Play notes on the keyboard using the sampled sound! If you sample the "Ting!" sound of a triangle, for example, you can then play notes with the sound on the keyboard. You even can add reverb, vibrato, and other effects to the sampled sound.

Incorporate a sampled sound into accompaniment patterns! You can sample a favorite musical phrase or drum sound, and use the same to replace some Auto Accompaniment drum sets.

AUDIO IN

Connecting a music player to the AUDIO IN jack causes the audio from the player to be output through the keyboard's speakers. Of course, you can play along with the audio, which means you can enjoy jamming with your favorite artists. It's a great way to liven up a party or any other type of social gathering.

Powerful lesson functions!

New lessons functions guide you along the way to music proficiency

Step Up Lesson: To master a song, it is best to break it up into short phrases, master each of the phrases, and then put everything together. Step Up Lesson does exactly that, providing you with the support you need to improve your play.

Performance Evaluation:  Your lesson score appears on the display screen.

Voice Fingering Guide: If the keyboard senses you are having problems, it will help you by calling out finger numbers in a simulated human voice.

152 Song Bank tunes including 50 Exercise phrases (Song Book provided*): Built-in songs cover a wide range of genres for lesson play and for your listening enjoyment. Includes Exercise phrases!

* The Song Book does not include music for Exercise phrases. Due to copyright restrictions, some Song Bank tunes may not be included in the Song Book.
Song Expansion

You can load songs from external sources and use them for listening, play along, or even lessons. Memory capacity is approximately 320KB, which is enough for up to 10 songs. Note that the actual number of songs that can be stored depends on the size of each individual song and other data stored in memory. Songs you add using Song Expansion can be used for Step Up Lessons, but fingering guide will not be displayed for such songs.

Casio CTK5200

The CTK5200 specifically for use in music labs where the keyboard is installed on a sliding tray under the desk (at the correct playing height!) and leaves ample desk space for computers, books and so on. The custom version has a special switch on the front panel that allows students to use the built-in speakers without removing the headphone plug (which is not easily accessible under the desktop). This also reduces the likelihood of damage to the headphone socket and eliminiates tangling cables.
