Bring back the classic Casios!


Recommended Posts

My latest video looks back at Casio’s much loved and influential classic, vintage and iconic keyboards, and also asks why Casio hasn’t embraced their rich legacy by re-issuing many of these models in updated form. Hopefully with some critiquing and nudging, maybe Casio will finally give us modern interpretations of their models that many of us have been crying out for!

Ностальгия по винтажным инструментам? Возможно Вы недостаточно изучили современные инструменты CASIO?

I'd love to see a return of the ZP-I engine synths (like the MZ-2000) and the software that went with them. Perhaps Casio can release it as open source?

Also would love some VZ series synths. With the grouping capability, they had.

And ofc my personal favorite the WK-1800 But with twice as many voices. We can produce much denser chips, so it should be possible to fit a larger and more capable synth engine inside of it.

Casio should make a small keyboard remake of the classic SA-series sound engine, but with fully editable synth parameters (perhaps velocity sensitive, similar like Yamaha PSS-A50). Cruicial is that it has to be self-contained (possibly USB midi for sysex and data storage) and not infested with app crap nor bluetooth. (I do not buy any mobile radio garbage.)

Hi @Chas and others :)

 

Yeah, I kinda agree with you. At least they (CASIO) could relaunch the MT-60 all in original shape and functionality, now that it has found out that it was an instrument used in the recording of Michael Jackson's Thriller as shown in this video (to give an example):
