I love how he cracks open a closet totally dedicated to Casio bravo

I'm on the hunt for a keyboard my parents got me in the 80s. No idea what kind it was but some of the prerecorded songs are burned into my head.

The Casio CT-670 was my first keyboard, the editor was cool to play with except you couldn't save them. I learned to play chords with my left hand on this instrument. I had lots of fun pairing it with a Casio DG-20 guitar. Sold both to buy a Korg M1.

I love the sound of these keyboards, with some FX they are super niceee

Hope someday you get to review the CT-201.

That pink Floyd type "Breathe " jam sounded cool .

BuickGeek24 I’ll have to look for that model . One I don’t have . My daughter recently gave me a Yamaha PSR 225 GM that I’ve been fooling with lately !

I owned a CTK 731 with a floppy disk drive. It had a pitch bend wheel, modulation button and a beefy speaker setup.

Yeah the CTK series was quite different to the CT series in many ways I didn't notice any special slickness in the neck. It was fine though :)

Cool keyboard’s!!!😃

My CT 360 makes your look modern. I think I have one of the first. The pitch wobbles too. I love these sounds btw.

Los teclados Casio, siempre me resultaron buenos para hacer música para consolas de videos juegos de 16 Bits, los teclados de esta generación sonaban muy parecidos a los juegos de arcades.

80's electronic music bands include Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, New Order, The Human League, Kraftwerk, Erasure and many more used these keyboards in their music to record and produce what sounds you have heard before.

Hi! Do you know what's the difference between the ct-670 and the ct-655? I didn't catch that in the video.

I am from Brazil, I already had the Casio CT 680, have you heard of this model? It had a metal plate underneath it, and it was really heavy

I haven't heard of that particular one, but I am very familiar with the CT series, they're very good :)

Quick answer please, should I look for one of these or should I just buy a CT-S200 or something like that, I've been playing the guitar for 17 years, I've done some programming, some production, and played a little bit of keys for a couple of bands, but i'm not really and expert when it comes to synths, what do yoy recommend?

If what you need is simply good quality sounds, I'd suggest finding a second hand Casio CT-X700 or 800. They're going cheap now and have a really professional sound palette.

I have the same keyboard (Casio CTK-811EX) I want to do the same thing. What was the make and model of the Floppy Drive Emulator you used and where I can order it? Did you have any problem installing it? Was there any software or hardware Cornflix with putting that drive in? Any help or support you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I do you have any documentation on how to do this? James Hanoski

It's a decent little machine. I'm getting ready to do a video upload or two of me noodling with my Xiosynth and MS-70CDR doing some ambient. They're like a perfect match for one another and it seems the deeper I dive into my Xio, the weirder it gets. Such a odd bugger, yet can do so much. At times it feels like I'm messing with a modular.

All "Casiotone" series are toys ... as it was before, so it is now. Their sounds are not suitable for serious use.

Unless at the time you were a hobbyist and it was all you could afford. But nowadays Casiotone keyboards are a cheap way of producing lofi music. Still a great starter keyboard.

@@LittleRichard1988 I wouldn't agree. I (unfortunately) had a Casio in the eighties...and to this day, they haven't been able to shake the competition. In fact, Casio never even bothered to make an instrument with which I would learn in the circle of skilled manufacturers. Their main mistake is standardization. Namely, Casio is not compatible with any other instrument...hell, it is not even compatible with its own models :D Be that as it may, some hobbyists still buy Casio keyboards for their youngest family members, hoping that they will carry on the musical tradition. The only problem is that these young musicians are distracted by the sound from such keyboards, because it is very important to keep a child on the keyboard so that he can practice several hours a day, and not give up music completely because of the squealing sound. Some customers are attracted by the price...which, however, loses its justification over time.
