I must have not noticed that (or, more likely, not cared). jeff...you're a brave brave man to be sporting that avatarDoron, someone accused me of being a fair-weather fan cause I didn't have it there. I'd just forgotten to put it up...perhaps its addition can turn things around. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KybdCanuck Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Let me qualify this first--I pretty much can be a gear snob, when it comes to keyboards. But the new Casio stuff is actually pretty cool. They're putting some great sounds, and some good features on some of their $3-500 boards. Not that I'll replace my ES with one of those... --MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I am absolutely the antithesis of a gear snob. I'll use anything that sounds cool, and I could care less what logo is on the thing. Once, I did a serious recording using a no-name bass that had three strings on it and employed a fork as a tuning peg. But the thing sounded fat, and I didn't need that G string anyway. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyote Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Casio gets less respect than they deserve. Let's face it, the sounds they now use were state-of-the-art just a few years ago. So they take technology which is not current but definiteely not obsolete, and package it into inexpensive machines .... The $250 Casio of today is an amazing achievement when you consider that 20 years ago families were laying out $3K on Baldwin home organs that ostensibly served the same purpose but actually did far less, and sounded far worse. I'm a former Casio owner. Yes, I did move up to 'pro' boards after a couple years. But my WK1500 served me very well. I'd recommend these type boards to beginners any day. Lotsa good portable sounds for little $$$ - a great combination. Twenty years ago, inexpensive 'beginner' music gear was generally garbage. That has changed; nowadays $200 can get you a good beginner's guitar or bass or keyboard. IMO those who feel a beginner ought lay out thousands on 'pro' gear are either living in the past or they are insecure about their own self-image, and projecting it onto folks who don't know enough to understand. 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.
