I like it. Especially now in spring. I hear many birds here in the early morning in the Black Forest. And it gives me peace, like your song.

Since one week the Casio MZ-X300 is no longer available in Germany. They indicate that it is sold out. I still like to play it very much and especially the operation is very important for me - everything goes quickly by the hand. The good loudspeakers and the MIDI connections and line outputs are also practical. "I also like 2 intros, 4 variations, 2 endings, touch display and drawbar slider. I hope that Casio will try his hand at good arrangers again in the future. A qualitatively better keybed would be my first suggestion for an MZ X300 successor and with new improved sound chips a serious competitor against a Yamaha PSR S 670 or Korg PA 300 would be available. These are currently available in the price range of 600 EUR in Europe. Maybe Casio can easily compete with a successor of the MZ X 300 in this price class in the future. Also the color should still be a professional black.

At the moment my son is working with a software "Image-Line FL Studio Producer Edition" together with a 49 keys keyboard with his own sounds, the "Korg Trition Taktile 49". He often prefers the Korg Triton sounds and plays them and records them via the audio inputs (USB to notebook). The Korg Triton tactile 49 keyboard is also good and costs about 340 EUR. some video Links to the korg´s

In my opinion, the Roland GO.Piano keybed is better than the keybed of the CTK 6200 and XW-P1 keyboard, which I also have and like. The GO.Piano keyboard is an unweighted keyboard, but is more valuable. The stroke of the keys is about 1 cm and you can also trigger the sound perfect when sliding between the black keys. The keys - especially the black ones - are more angular, like on a real piano - (on the NP 12 the black keys are rounded - about 0.9 cm wide - you can find on the most homekeyboards and synths). The black keys of the Go piano are exactly 1 cm wide. The slightly wider black keys of the Roland Go Piano are unknown to me on other keyboards. I don't have any problems with it. The Go Piano keyboard is slightly roughened/grained. The Yamaha NP-12 I mentioned also has the softer rounded black keys, which are slightly narrower. In my opinion, the Go Piano keyboard is quieter in the case. This is better than the CTK 6200 and XW-P1 keyboards. So, for me the Roland GO:Piano keybed looks more as a piano keybed, very valueable, but it is unweighted. And the sounds are very good. Here a Video i like

I have the Roland Go.Piano and the Yamaha NP12 (as travel keyboard), and my son who normally plays a stage piano with hammer action (Roland FP 4) prefers the NP12 from the feel of the keys. The Roland GO:Piano is more compact. If you go deep into the keyboard with your fingers you sometimes accidentally get to the touch sensor controls and start a metronome or something similar. I like the sound of the GO:Piano very much. But the new "illuminated touch sensor controls" of the Casio PX S1000 and S3000 reminded me a lot of the GO:Piano. I don't think these touch sensor controls are ideal for controlling the rhythms of an arranger. Since my son plays the piano very well, we now have the Yamaha P121 with hammer action and 73 keys on our travels to relatives. A 73/76 keyboard version of the Casio PX 160 with 9-10kg and 1.1 meter length would be great. But when testing a PX 160 I didn't like the Ivory Touch keys. The surface seems too rough to me. Currently I like to play the Casio MZ X300 at home because of its good handling and great speakers. The Roland GO:Piano is the lightest and shortest that can fit into a keyboard bag that is usually sold for 49 key keys (less than 90 cm). To the GO:piano (and the GO:keys) I doesn't like the missing split and dual function. There are only a few ready split and dual sounds. The Yamaha NP-12 is more flexible here. I also like the light arranger casio CTK 6200 because of its direct sound category buttons and pitch bending. With the Casio CTX-Line there is the only one the Casio CTX 5000 with direct sound category buttons. The CTK 6200 also has more speaker power (2 x 6W). the Roland GO:Piano and the Yamaha NP 12 have only 2 x 2.5 Watt. This is often too little for me when playing in the family circle. The larger Yamaha NP 32 with 76 keys has 2 x 6 watt speakers, but is then again almost as wide as an 88 key keyboard with hammer mechanism. However, they are very difficult to stow in the boot of a car if the whole family has to go. That's just my point of view and others have different priorities.

In this days i have bought the yamaha P121 bk stage piano with 73 hammer-action keys. The simulated ebony and ivory textures on the casios stage pianos should be softer in my opinion. Years before i used a studiologic acuna 73 masterkeyboard with hammer-action together with a piano expander GEM RX and Roland Mobil cube amplifier, and last year we had the Yamaha EW 300 Keyboard in use when we travelled to our families. Also when we have a choir performance outside (on a birthday) its nice to have a smaller and lighter real piano with good speakers (2 x 6 Watt - better more!). A casio PX 160 with 73/76 hammer-action keys would find a market in my opinion.

In this youtube video we can see inside of a new Casio Keyboard especial the construction of the keys and we see lubricant /siliccone crease on the keys at 13:43 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAcNjVdd25w

According to clicky/clacky keys I found this short video on youtube - but I think you can lost the casio quarantee - I dont know it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAX19ZKP8vQ

On the site of casio.jp I found a Casio LK 551 with AiX Sound Technology. It. looks similar to the CT-X700. link: https://casio.jp/emi/products/lk511/?topics

Happy New Year 2019 from a MZ X300 Owner (and other Casio´s) to the friends of this music forum in the hope for great Casio Keyboards, good informations, help-instructions and sound downloads in this forum in the new year

I bought the Casio MZ X300 because of the Touch-Display, 2 Intros, 4 Variations, 2 Endings and Mixer Sliders(Drawbar organ), because I was interested in a better handling. I wish the new CT-X 5000 had these properties. Sound category buttons are also important for changing sounds while playing(I cant see in X 3000, X800 or X 700). A Casio CTK 6200 has this. I will be interested in the next Casio models with AiX sounds. Hope with better handling and features. I like the ctk 6200(category buttons, Dial wheel, Pitch bend) with small weight, which i use on my knee´s for jamming(5,7 kg - not more!). With Aix Sounds would be great. I also wait for a short PX Stage Piano with hammer action - a PX 160 with 73 /76 keys for example (hope not with ivory textured keys).

For me it is a disadvantage to have the sound category buttons on the left side(CT-X5000) - better on the right side of the keyboard like on the CTK 7200 or CTK 6200. The CT-X3000 has no sound category buttons !.
