My iPad's headphone jack is connected to the audio input of the CT-S200, and the CT-S200's output jack is connected directly to the input of my camera. I recorded a short video demonstrating this for anyone curious. This is likely because the CT-S series lacks any sort of Center Cancel or Audio Input effects features, meaning there's no need for a processing buffer. I hooked it up to the Casio CZ App on my iPad and was very pleased to discover that the Audio Input has almost no latency, meaning you can easily run the output of the iPad through the CT-S' 1/8' audio input and practice using the speakers very comfortably. The build quality is great, and the rounded edges and bright colors are a welcome change from the more spartan look of the CTK-2550. The CT-S200 I'm borrowing lacks velocity sensitive keys, so I've mostly been playing synth and organ sounds in my testing, but the springy and snappy response is great for grace notes and fast playing if that's what you're into. The travel is satisfying and the key noise is overall quieter than what I can remember from my fresh out of the box CT-X700. The keys themselves are just as big as those on the CT-X series, but the plastic they used on the CT-S models is a bit more 'textured' and offers better grip overall. The new action is fantastic, and I hope that this keybed finds its way into every 61-key offering from Casio moving forward. I just got my hands on a new Casiotone CT-S200, and after some testing and tinkering, I've found that these cute little keyboards are solid options for anyone looking for a portable and highly affordable MIDI controller.
