In the Casio we have 32 polyphonic notes and in the Startone 64. Remembering that polyphony, is the amount of notes that can sound at the same time. Both keyboards have 61 keys, however on the Startone we find that they have sensitivity, i.e. if we play with more or less force, the note volume will increase or decrease proportionally. First of all, we would like to say that the new version of this keyboard is the Casio CT S300, but the comparison we make applies to both: The other features are very similar: both have a learning system, LC screen, same speakers and weight. One relevant difference is that the CTK 3500 has a USB-MIDI connection, which means that it can be used as a MIDI controller in music production programs, a feature that is missing from the CTK 1500.It must also be said that the new Casio CTK 1550 has come out, which is basically the same as you will see in the comparisons.
