Chas Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 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! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silent Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanB Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 People still love the CZ synth engine, and I've also been baffled since 1982 or whatever as to why they never developed the VL-1 (VL-Tone) further. It was like they never realised what they had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 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.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay C Posted Wednesday at 11:44 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:44 AM 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): MJ’s Thriller Frog Bass … Found!

CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler Posted Friday at 03:55 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:55 AM Casio MT-65 is quite similar but more versatile than MT-60 (not the same chips). Its preset "funny" resembles "frog" and with the envelope switches it may be adjusted even closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
