Casio Synthesizers - Professional and Semi Pro - Visual History
You know, I take alot of flack for the Casio synthesizers so I thought it might be a good thing to explain my position. Here it is... Nostalgia, affordability and accessibility.
When I was a little kid. I didn't sit around dreaming of buying a Jupiter 8 or an OB-12. My dream was to buy a Casio PL5 with the barcode reader. I used to see it in the department store display case and dream about all the great music that I could make with it. My grandmother (R.I.P.) took notice and eventually bought me one for my birthday.
I've got to think that there are millions of people throughout the world just like me. I will be forever thankful to the Casio company for figuring out a way to make electronic instruments affordable to all of the poor dreamers out there.
As I grew older, I graduated to more expensive instruments made by the "pro" brands. Most of those instruments have died on me but my Casio's are still running just fine.
Here's to all the kids out there, throughout the world who are making their dreams happen on a Casio synthesizer. May your instrument serve you well.

Yamaha CE20 FM Synthesizer
Переглядів 3,2 тис.11 років тому
Three reasons why the CE20 is cool... It's a FM mono synth. (some poly, but meant for soloing) It was a complete flop... Yamaha marketed it to the consumer market before going big with the DX line of synths. It's the third FM synth that Yamaha produced. (GS1, GS2, CE20, CE25, DX1, DX7...)

    Can the arpeggiator speed be set very slow? In the video the speed is always fast.

    Curious if your tone preset memory saves after a power cycle? Mine does not. And was thinking a ROM battery might have gone bad. Can’t find one on the board though. Thanks!

    I bought one of these secondhand in about 1984 from a secondhand shop in Bedford High Street. I think it was about £30. I persuaded them to let me return it the next day as it sounded out of tune to me.
