Follow in the footsteps of legendary rock and pop stars with the CTK-4000! Over 300 music presets offer useful presetting from A to Z for parameters such as rhythm, tone, tempo, effects etc. Less searching, more playing! And the result can be recorded straight away with the sequencer (6 tracks/5 songs). Encore? No problem with the CTK-4000 sampling function: via the audio input, noises, voices, loops, drum sounds etc. can be recorded directly and played with the keyboard. For example, you can set the keyboard to shout "Hip Hip Hurray" to the player for 10 seconds. The wide range of additional extras offered by the CTK-4000 also deserve applause: arpeggiator, scale tuning, registration memory, octave shift, rhythm editor and much more.
