In fact, this is what's known as an arranger rather than a workstation. That distinction is characterized chiefly by two attributes. It has only very limited ability to do any sound editing ( that's an inherent trait of a workstation ) And the arranger has the unique ability to do auto-accompaniment. The workstation as mentioned previously has the ability to do complex sound editing. It generally doesn't have any auto-accompaniment. So, the workstation is targeted at the keyboardist working in a band. Whereas, an arranger is for that keyboardist or other musician/producer/composer who needs a band-in-a-box. In many instances an actual workstation may often be pricier than an arranger. Many use the names interchangeably which belies their respective capabilities and application

thank you for this review! I have this piano but had no idea how tk use the controls. great video!!

What I love about my WK-200 is that it has several great electric piano sounds including the tines emulations of a certain world renowned electric piano manufacturer. So, I can sound a little like Herbie Hancock on Butterfly or Stevie Wonder on As

Is there a way to loop the songs/sounds you record on this keyboard, or do I have to hook it up to a PC for that?

Nice review. Thanks for the information. I got one of these from Value Village for $39.99 in Everett, WA, USA with no accessories whatsoever. A pretty good deal I think. It's a great cheap keyboard! Not pro gear by any reckoning, but enough to practice and study and play with friends.

An arranger is a perfect keyboard for a diversity of skill levels; from the student on up to the semiprofessional or garage band types

Great review! I found both this keyboard and the wk-225 for about the same price. Which keyboard would you pick? 210 is a little lower price locally used.

When you play the keyboard with Garageband will Garageband automatically input your notes onto the staff? Basically I'm looking to compose without having the hand write.

I agree with your comments, others have other issues with this video as well. I will have to make more in-depth video about the features.

Do you have to buy a cable to connect it to a MAC? What kind of cable is it?

Clear and concise. Would like to know, however if the Casio can create a file that Garage Band can notate. I want to use this for students who compose.

@melrose1996 Great to hear you want to learn piano. Sustain petal is located on a real piano on the far right. It's holds any key that is pressed for a period of time. This is useful when you need to play slow passages or need to move your fingers in other areas of the piano.

I have a question on this keyboard that I think would be important for the manufacture to put on the site, are the keys weighted at all. Doen't sound like it to the video Thanks

I'm a begginer and i'm thinking about getting this keyboard. Quick question - what do sustain pedal do? :)

I bought a cassio wk200 at ebay for $119 and what is the purpose of the function key. I want to change the metronome to waltz.

Thank u for this video. I have this keyboard and I was wondering how I could record it professionally, without softwares changing up the tones on this keyboard (which GarageBand does for instance) I've heard of audio interfaces too...are there any softwares out there which will record this piano well? Or any audio interfaces that you know of?

@BanjoleleMountaineer

+Mythili Karra You'd just need to hook up a cable from one of the audio out lines. There's probably an audio out 1/4" jack in the back, the size of cable used for electric guitars, but if not the headphoen jack will work just fine... into your microphone or line-in jack on your computer. But you did say professionally... so I would suggest getting an audio interface like you mentioned. There are many by M-Audio, such as the Firestudio (if your computer has a firewire port, many these days do not), or the Duo. Plenty by other companies as well. You'll only need one with 1 or 2 inputs I'm guessing, that only limits how many instruments you can record at one time... I"m guessing you're not going to be recording a whole band all at once, but doing "multi-tracking"... as in one instrument at a time. But if you are trying to be "professional", I have to say that this keyboard is pretty low-end and in no way has a professional or studio quality sound. So you would maybe be better off just using it as a MIDI controller.. basically what he showed you with the USB cord and Garageband. You can do that with any similar software though, whether you use Windows or Mac. And then find a high quality piano VST (virtual instrument)... even some of the free ones that come with more affordable recording software may be considerably better sounding than this keyboard. I'm a synthesizer guy myself, so I don't know much about piano VSTs or what to recommend. Hope that helps. Whichever way you do it, research how to use the program you'll be recording in to EQ your recording, apply effects tastefully (such as compression - big studio trick used almost always, but a subtle effect). Many of those techniques can help you get a more professional sound from your recordings.

Do u find a difference between the lack of keys?

Casio also made the WK-500 which has stereo outputs, pitch bend wheel, and SD card slot.

First of all thank you for this video, very nice review. You helped me decide on a keyboard stand. I wanted the Casio ARDX but I wanted to make sure I can get it to be low. I see the mod is easy to get it low thanks to your video. Have you tried FL Studio? I am playing around with that currently. The demo is free and fully functional with the exception that you can't load your saves.

does this model support a sustain pedal??

It doesn't come with a USB cord. It's just a standard USB cord, like one that you would use for a ink jet printer.

if your has midi inputs, then connect to an audio soundcard (midi compatible) and a special interface of "casio" should appear in your "prefrence" menu.

Hi, do it transpose

Garageband doesn't cost anything....technically. If you buy a newer mac it comes with iLife. If not, you have to pay like $79 for the iLife suite. If you own a newer intel mac, you can use the app store on the mac and purchase a lcarte programs like garage band for $15. On my performances though, I am using a Jam Pack with Garageband. The sound you are hearing if from that, it's a realistic Steinway Grand Piano sound. Jam packs cost between $99-$200

thanks for this review, I just returned this to Amazon, even though it was fairly awesome, because the grand piano sound just didn't really sound like a grand piano .... any suggestions for a much better piano voice in this range?

Cmon man, focus on what the title says!!! If the title would of said “ramblings of a you tuber reading from the Casio wk-210 manual about things most people care less about, on to sustain pedals, on to keyboard stand, and possibly shows, plays, and reviews keyboard” I probably would of passed it on up and not wasted any of my life watching it and then having to post a comment.
