My ear memory tells me that you'r short for 1 last note in bass intro .

A similar idea to the Casio DG-20 was done by the YouRockGuitar, which many people glossed over despite it being a very capable midi controller simply because the company relied too much on advertising it as a game controller for Guitar Hero, which it could also do.

401 Casio made the frog sound on the thriller album

The only difference is use they are exactly the same inside use the same chip and wiring but the 1 has more distance which can add the itty bittist sound difference but those chips are notoriously different in manufacturing not the best qc after years of twerking on the same chips

واقعا عالی بود به زمان خودش❤❤

I chatted with the Casio reps at Frankfurt Musikmesse a few years back (including Mike Martin), and I implored them to revisit the CZ synths. I pushed that given the massive increase in computing power, they could easily create a great 4-part multitimbral CZ synth with at LEAST 32 voices (minimum), and it would sell like crazy, given the growing love of "all things 80s" for synths. They said, "uh...we did revisit the CZ...with the iPad app." I, with an obviously disappointed facial expression, replied, "Is that it? A 4-voice iPad app? That's 'revisiting' the CZ?? That's all we're going to get?" CZ rep: "Yeah, probably." 😶

Hey I bought an M-10 and now the signal is acting really weird when I try to switch instruments. Let's say I turn it on and it's playing in the flute sound. When I try to adjust the instrument, the keyboard starts glitching and making quiet, weird sounds, and switching back and forth between instruments on its own. Do you know if something might be wrong or if the batteries are just dying?

I hardly hear any difference.

Doesn't xw have a line in so you can apply effects to cz if you run audio back in?

its a fun idea, but i would rather have a turbocharged VZ-1

Fingerless Gloves by Casio Viletone is the greatest song written on one. Find it on Elegance Charm and Deadly danger

I have also been saying this for years, but my guess is that they have moved so far away from these types of instruments, (into sample based, acoustic emulating electric pianos, mostly), that going back would be expensive. They also would have to compete with all of the VST plug in versions already out there, that have kind of already beat them to the punch. However, the pro grade electric piano market is so firmly dominated by Yamaha, and others, with Casio being taken far less "seriously", they might as well move back into a field where they could actually exert some market dominance, and claim a kind of "proprietary legacy", as the originators of user friendly, low learning curve (I can't think of many things like the sk1 for example, that is both musically useful, but simple enough for a 10 yr old to turn on and use right away) desktop, home production instruments. Even the Rz-1, with it's multiple outs, simple sampling structure, sliders, and filter knob, is still totally unique, in it's ease of use and function. Also, most of these have ALREADY been "modded" in various cool ways, so, a lot of the "heavy lifting" of expensive R and D, has already been done (the fully modded sk-5, for example, is a BEAST, that is waaay more powerful and useful than the stock version) so they would just need to reverse engineer and manufacture them.

Great job! Extraordinary recalls. 🥹🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️

Thumbs up before I even clicked play. What an obscure and wonderful thing make a video of lol. I have the CZ-1 but had the 101 for years. The big deal about the CZ-1 is that it responds to velocity. That lets you do the depeche mode style changing cutoff per note thing. There is no real time filter control on the CZs or filters for that matter, but the Pseudo filter DCW amount at note on can be modulated. That allows way more expression in the sound. It also doesnt have to be played on its own keys to have the effect, it responds to vel over midi too. The CZ1 also has a nice chorus too. - Is there any way you would be so kind to post a link to that giant CZ patch collection?

Those nylon-stringed Casio guitars are SOOOOO BAD. I mean I love some pretty awful stuff like the Omnichord. Even the Rap Man is charming. But I had one of those guitars with the nylon strings and buttons under the rubber fretboard and it's for-real unusable ... but I appreciate them being different/weird. 😂 But I think mine was the DG-10. Hopefully the DG-20 was a little better.

Not keen on Casio I rather have moog or Korg

The other missed opportunity here is that Casio have never developed vst versions of any of their instruments either.

Damm Jesus!!! if you see....., casio is out of bussiness in this moments, and the heaven sends signals like you, lucky people to get your free help!!! Cmon Casio, how many signals you need.....🌠

The hex synth engine is also in the stage piano-ish Privia PX-5S pretty deep. So sad

CT-1000P was fantastic - almost an additive synth

At the same time, Casio is still selling their vintage LCD watches!

In a couple of videos time I plan to cover a couple of CASIO's weirdest keyboards, perhaps you'd like to be involved in that vid :)

Muito obrigado por ter criado esse incrível video, graças a você eu tenho hoje uma outra visão sobre a linha Casio. Muito obrigado.

incrível!!!!

Haha, I'm less than two minutes in, but just wanted to say don't worry - this isn't an "Old man yells at clouds" thing. I'm in my (late) 20s, and I completely agree. I'm sure many people do. Things like the CZ, HT/HZ, FZ, and VZ series, hell, even the SK series, are pretty cool, and modern versions would be nice. Especially if they could bring them out at a relatively affordable price (which, ofc, Casio is kinda known for).

I agree with you regarding Casio failing to update models that just miss practical perfection. Studiologic does it. They made some great updates to their Compact series recently.

I have had the CTS-500 for almost a year, but I have never used the sampling capability, because I have an iPad that I can play from the Casio via Bluetooth midi, and there is really no limit on sampling with various iPad apps.the built-in sounds and sound editing features of the CT-S500 are excellent and cover most of the bases by themselves.

I managed to grab a DG-20 guitar recently. I'm not a good guitar player, but that seems to be inconsequential, due to the fret-tracking. I bought it as I thought that using guitar chord progressions on my synths (as opposed to piano chords) would open up some new ideas. I'd love a VA-10, as that thing looks very weird. I love "odd one out" instruments that provide features not found elsewhere. The Boss mini-rack series from the the 80's had a few oddball units in that vein.

The driving force behind Casio music products Toshio Kashio is dead since long time ago.

I have the casiotone CT 6000 five keys don't work the keys stuck down and would like to get it fixed but it's too heavy to take it to a shop

If they had combined the XW-P1 and XW-G1 with 4by4 drum pads and a bttwr operating system it would have become a classic

Casio, as a manufacturer of synthesizers and workstations, is dead, its last releases were more than 10 years ago with the xw and MZ series...the ctx line is far below and still more than 5 years ago since its launch... Casio is more focused on manufacturing pianos and watches. You can't say this in the forums because they call you a troll, but it's the truth.

I would be interested in a Behringer CZ-1 mini! ........ Pretty Please ........

I have two casino keyboards in my vast collection which couldn't be further apart from each other. The first I've had since I was 13 years old, the PT-50 which I still find useful, and the second I bought a few years ago which is, despite having Korg, Roland Akai and Yamaha synths in my arsenal, my daily driver today given how versatile it is, is the WK-3200.

I have never understood why manufacturers of many types do not produce products that have maintained popularity. They gain very little from creating collectors markets.🤔

I'd love to see Casio revive the ROM Pack keyboards, I think particularly of the PT-50, PT-82, PT-88 etc.

Please Casio please please please release your older keyboards as VSTs!

I think it would be very easy to include a lot of memory and full sampling capabilities, but they're afraid of cannibalizing sales of their higher end keyboards. Or maybe the Japanese market for sound design sees no point in hardware over just doing stuff in a daw.

I agree with you 100%. Casio is nowadays way to scared to go out on a limb. I actually bought the cts-1 when it came out a couple years back and I've owned and own a couple of their higher end pianos, which are very good in their own right. The thing is that they are not relevant anymore other than to pianists really. With roland coming out with their go keys 3 and 5, the Casiotone models just no longer make any sense to buy.

I love the Casio SA 76 keyboard

Very interesting ideas - I hope Casio is listening. Loved the Sinistar samples!

Man, I thought I had a lot of Casios!

It seems retro is becoming more and more popular across the entire cultural sphere, not only in music but films and video games as well. Synthwave is among my favorite genres and I can hear the sound from these Casios.

Could I use these to replace my old tabla dots ? considering my skins are fine just the rubber is falling off in pieces

Casio has just become boring now. Not making all the fun weird fun synths that they used to. Also Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" rhythm sounds pretty similar to the Beguine rhythm on the Casiotones of the early '80s, but maybe it's just a CR78 rhythm.
