Hello All! While the HT6000 offers broader synthesizing capabilities, I love the simplicity and robustness of the HT3000. Its limitations make it such a nice synth to program and play. Any more HT3000 enthusiasts out there? Greetings from Munich, Germany

Hi, fired up my old HT-700 recently and while it all seems to be still functional (phew) the headphone socket and accomp (accompaniment) volume slider seem to have issues. On the headphone socket, left channel seems to be missing but if put slight pressure on the headphone jack with my finger I can hear both channels fine. Likewise, the volume of 'casio chord' feature is very low (like 10%) but when slightly move the accomp volume slider it outputs normal volume. I can hear scratching, crackly type sound through speakers when move the slider. Main speakers, left, right line out all fine. Rhythm and main volume sliders work fine. There was a lot of dust on the fascia when I opened the box so am thinking, hopefully, might just need a good clean. Had the back cover off for a quick check and looks reasonable inside.. no visible rust or whatever. So, not too bad overall but any tips on restoring the headphone socket and servicing the volume slider controls ?

Hi! This is my rendition of the track "Kids" from the soundtrack of "Stranger Things" by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, played on the Casio HT3000. All sounds are by Casio HT3000, without external effects. No claim of 100% fidelity :) the original sounds are so fat and powerful, but I have at least tried to recraeate the overall atmosphere. BTW The bass sound is the preset from the accompaniment section. The whole thing is a multitrack recording from the HT3000 into Cubase (1x patch ostinato, 1x lead, 2x pads, 2x bass, 1x arpeggio and white noise). The arpeggio is in fact mad of 3 tracks to emulate a delay effect. I had planned to show it, but I am not able to setup my screen capture SW to record my speakers... :) I keep trying. Thanks for listening!
