Jokeyman123 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Only kidding, it is and older CT-X1 but just wanted to get your attention. This has got to be the strangest Casio I've ever seen, just appeared on eBeetle auction website (you know who they are). found only one manual for this. Looks like a UFO with a keyboard! Anybody know anything about it? The center lid opens up to reveal its control panel. if it didn't have a keyboard, I'd think it was a....well I'm not sure. Reminds me of something, but I can't quit place what it is. Certainly not good for placing yer iPad on top. and I think it used the APE physical model for sounds..Acoustic Poodle Effervescent sound chip. I could be wrong. Seriously though, might be a real cool collectible. Almost the shape of the MZ-2000, but a little more..portly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I had forgotten that this was called a CT-X. Wow. I don't know much about them, but they look interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have never seen that model before! Flip top lid, space age UFO shape - I like it! Looking at the specifications/ features, it looks to be almost the same as the MT750. The MT750 is a totally different looking keyboard with mini keys, but appears to have the same: "Pulse Code Modulation" sound source, 220 sound tone bank, 110 beat bank, same display, same "Multi Accompaniment System", and same "Tone Editor" section. The CT-X1 appears to differ by having the "digital effects" slider section compared with the MT750 (that doesn't have this). Oh, and I love the look of the red stripe on the back of the CT-X1! Edit: I just checked the 110 beat bank and 220 sound tone bank list on the lid of the CT-X1 with my MT-750. I can confirm that the lists are identical.

Jokeyman123 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 So it is-I see the same arrow controls too. I am tempted-the MT-750-another not too common Casio. I've owned the MT-240 for awhile, was a rather nice older Casio. Has midi din ports too. Hmmm..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 So wait?... the thing that makes this CT-X special beyond looks is the digital effects sliders? One of the things that makes the current CT-X series special is the DSP effects..... I'm seeing a pattern. Hmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Coincidental timing! A new post today in the "General Casio Discussion" section was asking about drivers for a CT-680. I looked up the model, and guess what? It appears to have almost the same specifications as the CT-X1 and the MT-750! If anything, it seems to slot between the two by having a digital reverb section compared with the CT-X1 that has digital reverb and (I think) delay, and the MT-750 that has none. Thus the MT-750, CT-680 and CT-X1 all appear to be variations of the same basic sound engine and features. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Wow, none of these are so easy to find. Can't find one MT750, CT680 on ebay. Must be one of the better models in these older series of MTs and CTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skibbles Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I actually have on of these. Just found it. Does anyone have any clue what adapter would be used to power it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any clue what adapter would be used to power it? Look on the back at the power socket - it should be marked with the voltage required and the pin polarity. Most Casios use either a 7.5 or a 9 volt wall wart, with center negative pin. There are many universal power adapters available that would work.

The undutchable Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I still use this keyboard for midi connection to my old atari with cubase. It can play 4 channels at the same time ,with 4 different sounds, instruments. The power is 12v output and 220v input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
