On October 30, 2026, Casio introduced the Casiotone CT-FS1 from Norderstedt. The Europe news names an all-black CT-FS1BK and an all-white CT-FS1WE.
Casio calls the pair design statements with a contemporary, monochrome look. The company says that look showcases the sound quality and the portable identity of the Casiotone series. However, the release adds no measurement for either claim.
What carries over from the CT-S1
Casio also says the new keyboards retain the core specifications and the intuitive, music-first interface of the original CT-S1. The models now come in pure black or white. Because the announcement stops at that sentence, it lists no polyphony, power, weight, speaker size, or key count.
Additionally, Casio names a new function, Feel Sync, and a Feel Sync app. The company says Feel Sync invites people who are not musicians to start making music. Still, the English text does not describe the playing method, the songs, or what a player hears.
What the studio photos show
The black studio photo shows the CT-FS1BK at a three-quarter angle on a white background. The body and the keys are both black. A Casio mark sits on the left of the panel, and a Casiotone mark sits on the right. Above the keys, the frame includes one knob and a short row of buttons.
The white photo repeats that framing for the CT-FS1WE. Casio calls this the all-white model. In the picture, the body is light, the longer keys are white, and the raised keys are black. Neither file prints a key count, so this article does not supply one.
Casio Music Gear also posted a YouTube introduction titled Introducing the Casiotone CT-FS1.
Europe first, and not all at once
Casio says the CT-FS1 will be available throughout Europe from November 2026. That phrase opens a sales window. It does not mean the keyboard is in stores on the announcement day, and it does not name a day inside November. The English release also gives no price. It sets no date for the United States or for any region outside Europe.
The keyboard line names November 2026 and no day. November 11, 2026, belongs to the app. Casio says the Feel Sync app will launch in Europe on November 11, 2026. The same footnote then excludes Serbia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Ukraine. Casio schedules those seven markets for a later date and does not name that date.
The keyboard window and the app window are not the same list. Casio applies “throughout Europe” to the CT-FS1 itself and does not repeat the seven-market exception on the keyboard. The exception belongs only to the Feel Sync app. A buyer in Ukraine, Serbia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, or Bosnia and Herzegovina still falls inside the keyboard window. That buyer then waits past November 11, 2026, for Feel Sync’s app.
Readers who want a buying figure will not find one in this English release. Casio leaves out a price, a store day for the keyboards, and any account of what Feel Sync changes during play. What the release does fix is the split in timing. Casio sets the keyboards for Europe from November 2026. The app date is November 11, 2026, outside Serbia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Ukraine.
