Casiotone Ct 7000

I have a CT7000 in my Casio collection. It's an interesting, if limited, old school Casio. I believe it uses the the old 'Consonant Vowel' synthesis method of many early Casios. The sounds and drums are very similar to the MT65/ 68, MT400V/ CT410V series of synths. It lacks the analogue filter of the 400/ 410V, though for the 7000 Casio added a sequencer function and a handful of stereo effects (including panning). The sequencer data can be saved to and loaded from tape (if anyone still has one!)  It lacks MIDI though, which limits its usefulness, though with some good playing and multi-tracking it can still add to a studio rig. If you aren't worried about the onboard sequencer and stereo effects, I'd say go for the MT65/ 68, or better still the MT400V/ CT410V (the real time analogue filter really makes these 'boards interesting and great fun). If the 7000 is cheap enough, and you have the space, then go for it as it's a nice development of the earlier Casio consonant vowel synth engine.

 

 

Good demo of the CT7000's capabilities:
