aeon Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 owned a cz-101 long ago... sometimes still want a fz-10m just for its bad transpose algo quality and sick filters. ...and then I realize it would just be a PITA to deal with.

JimmieWannaB Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 After a 30 year hiatus, when I first decided to start playing again three years ago, I picked up a CTK-601. It was a piece of crap, but what can you expect from a $100 keyboard? It served its purpose in proving to myself that I still enjoyed playing and getting me up to speed on midi control. I moved up to an Alesis QS 6.1 and passed the Casio onto my daughter. Amazingly, Meg has gotten semi-professional use out of the Casio. She and two other girls formed a keyboard/loop based group, Triple Nipple that plays small clubs in the Bay Area. All three use low end Casios along with Fruity Loops for percussion.

JimmieWannaB Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Originally oosted by Pim Jim, be proud. You are the father of the future of rock 'n roll. Thanks. "Proud" seems like too weak a word to describe how I feel. I won't go through the details again, but I created a few "Proud Poppa" postings when things started clicking for them. They'll be going on hold for a bit, though. Meg leaves next week to start at USC. She got into the film program . Talk about your Proud Poppa!

Krakit Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I have a Casio SK-1. My brother bought it for me while I was recovering the hospital for some illness or another. It ran on batteries so he thought I'd enjoy it during my stay. The thing is that it could sample. One of the first of it's kind. I still enjoy putting samples into it and playing around with it. It even shows up in my recently submitted photo of my stuff (which I have to update). Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylos Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 And if it's a Casio with the Radio Shack name stuck on it it's even more special? Thanks, but no thanks. I have music to play... "shit" happens. Success Takes Focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiffyfeet Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Sweet, another Casio Thread!!! My first keyboard around 20 years ago or so was a Casio. It was fun learning how to play Axle F on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthetic Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 My first keyboard was a Casiotone. I used to sit in front of the TV and figure out the Miami Vice score. Axel F and Jump too, of course. I also still have a CZ-101, though it just sold on ebay. That synth had some cool bass sounds back in the day. Too bad Casio completely fell apart after the VZ synths. (Flamebait! Will he take it? Probably...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcity Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I still have the first keyboard that my parents bought me...Casio MT-68, then CZ-101 which I sold and bought a CZ-1000 which I sold. The MT-68 is still around for sentimental reasons...That's what started the most expensive hobby and influential job in my life. Yamaha MODX8, Korg Kronos 2 61, Hammond B3, Novation 61SL MKII, Impulse 61, Roland D-550, Proteus 2000, etc......to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyote Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 There have been 4 Casio keyboards in my life. The first was an MT65 owned by a friend who played in a couple bands with me; he attached a couple strap knobs and played it as a portable. He used to get compliments on its organ sound! We even did some recordings with it. Another friend had the VL-tone on which he made bizarre sequences. The third was owned by yet another friend - a CZ-somethingorother which totally sucked. The last was my very own WK1500 which had some good sounds and was an adequate MIDI controller for awhile. Had the price on the QS71 not dropped so radically I might still own that WK1500 (actually I doubt it, but you never know). I gave it to the guy with the CZ - he traded both towards a Yamaha S80 (got almost nothing for 'em lol) Yeah, Casios definitely have their place - and it's not always as low as you'd imagine. I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist. This ain't no track meet; this is football.

bitdump Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Have use and abused various casios, only one still remains a VZ8m, though and keeping a eye out for a cheap good condition CZ-101, just round out the collection and my new pairs of old synths in the studio, perhaps I can hook up my old my Apple IIe if I find a working 5 1/4 FD and go back to master tracks pro Version 2 and stipe FSK with no SPP. To bad they got sued by yamaha for the VZ's as phase distortion is a type of FM. None the less I like to find out what the heck they gave Tomita. I tend to prefer my Kurzweils though.

Jeff Irok Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I've bought 4, all of which I still have: - VL-1 - Fell in love iwth it when I saw it on display at K-Mart. My first 'synthesizer'. - CZ-101 - I couldn't afford any other synth, and up to that point, I only had a cheap Farfisa combo and a Honor Pianette, which never worked properly. My first 'real synth'. - AZ-1 - A very cool controller which I only played out a few times with. I put it in the cellar for a couple years (because the band broke up & the next band the music was a little too complicated for the just one keyboard) and when I went to use it again, the notes stuck from time to time ie. it didn't send a "key off" command. No one's been able to fix it since. - A Something something something something - a cheap home keybaord I got for the kids for about $100.00. I use it ocaacaitonally, however, as a controller when I use Sonar. I won't get rid of any of 'em either...! Check out my band's site at: The Key Components!
