Hello Tom. I'm glad you're happy with your new keyboard!
May I ask, did you consider a CT-X5000? If yes, what made you choose the WK7600, other than 76 keys?

Hello, and happy new year!
I'm looking for a workstation keyboard for songwriting and sequencing.My workflow would be:
- Create bass and drum lines as rhythms.
- Sequence these rhythms to a full-length song.
- Record my live piano performance as MIDI on top of the rhythm track.
- Plug a microphone and sing over the music.
- Record the finished song as audio.
I've been reading the manuals and forum posts about these keyboards. While CT-X5000 seems to be a terrific entertainer keyboard and live instrument with the new AIX sounds and decent speakers, I have some doubts that I can't clear.
WK7600/CTK7200:- Has good pianos.
- Full-blown MIDI recording, sequencing, editing features.
- Built-in audio recorder.
- Smooth integration with DAWs, either live or by importing MIDI files.
CT-X5000:- AIX is great, but the pianos don't sound way better than WK7600/CTK7200's AHL?
- MIDI workflow is not as powerful as WK7600/CTK7200? I ran into several posts here suggesting it's not, but they don't specify exact reasons.
- No built-in audio recorder. Wouldn't recording through unbalanced line outs cause audio glitches?
- Importing generated MIDI files into DAWs cause issues due to excessive CC messages? Also some MIDI standards exist in WK7600/CTK7200 not implemented?
- Some people mentioned lag and polyphony issues during live performances. Are they resolved?
Sorry for the loaded questions, but I'm on a tight budget and terrified of making a wrong decision. I'd love to hear your input.- 1

Hello,
I'm so glad there's such an active and helpful community. Things written here halped me greatly to shape my decision. Thank you all.
I'm planning to get an AT-3 or AT-5 keyboard as my first arranger workstation. As far as I know, they're basically CTK-7000/WK-7500 keyboards modified for oriental styles.
I have a few questions I couldn't find answers:
-
I read that the older CTK-7000/WK-7500 keyboards have annoying keybed noise that is fixed in the newer CTK-7200/WK-7600 keyboards.
I know all non-piano keyboards have that noise.But I'd like to know if people are exaggerating, or CTK-7000/WK-7500 is actually much worse than the newer editions in that regard.
Is that noise so loud that would ruin live sessions where you sing through a dynamic microphone while playing the keyboard? -
Using Data Manager, can you convert new audio samples into Casio tones, or you're limited to modify the existing tones only?
-
Can you store e.g. hundreds of Casio tones and rhythms in the SD card, and import them to main memory, without needing a computer?
Can you do the same to edit a Casio formatted song from the SD card in the song sequencer?
-
Can you apply effects like reverb, chorous, etc. to microphone and instrument inputs.

I've seen model codes with K2 suffix on some web shops, like AT-3K2 or CTK-7000K2. How does K2 models differ from the non-K2 ones?
I hope that's not too much. Thank you very much again, and have a great day.Dave

CT-X5000 is inferior to WK7600/CTK7200, from songwriting and sequencing perspective?
