Seven-year-old Benn praying his Christmas list to 🎅 is my emotional rescue this third week of January, 2022. My first Casio 🎄 🎁 was a VL-Tone 🎹 and I used to play The Beatles’ version of Till There Was You with a Bossanova rhythm. Later, I bought an SK-5 and a CZ-101. So, yeah, this video hits it out of the park for me. Thank you, Bennio.
@@matthewgaines10 Plus the name" Casio" and" synth" just isn't taken seriously for people who associate synths with names like" Moog" or"ARP" and"Prophet" etc, etc.
Fantastic demo. Using custom waveforms in the vocal synthesis engine could be a fun way to get some unique sounds. I really wish casio made a full blown iPad patch editor for this. I think it would help with the sound editing and be a much nicer screen to look at than the dated design on the keyboard itself. I can't wait to see how they iterate on this tech in the future, but it looks very interesting to me right now.
if they made a compact desktop version, without a keyboard, but with full midi in, out & thru, i would buy it right away. i just don't have the desk space for this. thanks for the demo.

For that you can use the tc electronics perform ve
@ thanks for the tip. i had not heard of the tc electronics perform ve. it looks pretty good for sampling vocals through a mic and manipulating those samples, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have a speech synthesizer like the CT-S1000v. keeping my fingers crossed for a desktop CT-S1000v without keys & speakers, but with proper midi. if not, maybe Behringer will make something similar hehe. cheers :)
Spent and afternoon at Guitar Center. THIS SYNTH was the most fun instrument in the store, hands down. Inspiring as hell. ALSO, keys have a great feel, much better than arturia, m-audio, novation etc at similar price
That Casio love right here. Rocking the Casio Privia PX-5S. 88 Weighted keys, lots of sounds, also a MIDI controller. Love it! Thanks for talking about the Casio line.
"raise your hands up" is definitely the Casio version of "errbody put your hands in the air" ... and I absolutely can't wait for this split in the timeline.
This is the best video that explains the vocal synthesis part of this keyboard. I'm already familiar with the Casio tones and rhythms but the vocal synthesis part is mystery until now.
I have one if these in the way from Zzounds. A friend of mine got a Casio that has great sounds, so after looking at some of their synths, this one really caught my eye. 2 more days and it'll be here. 40 bucks a month for a year, I couldn't hold back and ordered one
Great enthustiastic demo! And YES, the Casio pianos are super and generally underrated! They're my standard recommendation, excellent sound and quality at a beginners price point.
I was initially disappointed by the fact that Casio released a "Vocal Synth" crammed into a PSR-type portable keyboard. But then I was like, "What could be more Casio than that?" (The first synth I owned was the CZ-101 -- right when it came out in the 80s -- and the manual for that [unexpectedly awesome synth] taught me everything I *still* know about synths.) So, I'm kinda thinking this thing might be totally rad.
Also, how is this thing half the price of the Korg Modwave? I was a beta tester on Korg Wavestate 2.0 and all I got was... early access to Wavestate 2.0. Now I want this Casio more than Korg Modwave. Hmm. 🤔
The joy is strong with this one… have to admit, I mostly had written off Casio as a toy keyboard maker.. but your video demo and your argument that it can be a inspiration and practice tool beyond its sophisticated voice synthesis capabilities, sold me
4:39 the Monomachine have vocal synthesis and there is a hardware vocaloid (in keytar format) that was available only in japan (and only with japanese phonemes)
There was also the pocket miku which is a vocaloid voice in a small case with ribbon like a monotron. (If i remember right you could input custom lyrics with midi and it also had a GM sound generator)
This thing is incredible. Thank you for sharing. I used to be so obsessed with collecting gear… literally racks of gear and synthesizers. I also had more VSTs than I knew what to do with and in the end I realized something significant. I sucked at writing music, playing music, and understanding different styles of music. I sold all of my gear except my two guitars and decided I would learn guitar and study music theory before I “rebuild” my studio. I am now thinking about getting a keyboard and instead of getting a midi keyboard controller, setting up ableton live, and loading a bunch of VST instruments to play with I can just buy this and it literally does everything I need to practice basic song playing, comping, and writing. I don’t need an audio interface. I don’t need a laptop. I don’t even need new monitors! The icing on the cake is that this is also a midi keyboard so when I decide it’s time to reinstall ableton and all of my VSTs I can do this as well. If you’re still reading, the point is that sometimes with music, less is more. This keyboard, a microphone, a guitar, and a loop pedal is more than enough equipment to create some really fun music. I can’t wait to get my hands on this.
Love this mindset. I too am looking for something that I can get quick reps writing music on. Also wouldn’t it be great to be the guy who makes that track that keeps this weird thing relevant in 30 years
I have to correct something about the phrase "Chilean Tango". There's no Tango in Chile, cero, nada!!!. Tango is from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!! Trust me, that's where I'm from!! Anyways, great review and nice channel! 🙃😁
To a certain degree you can customize the vocal synthesis of the Pocket Miku by putting in syllables in a certain order. It's a fun device. It's also a microtonal midi-keybard.
While I'm a big fan of casio, especially how they upped their game with privia series to be at the same level as Yamahas or Rolands, I spent some time with the CT-S1000v every time I had some time in Yodobashi, I'd say the vocal function gets into one trick pony very quickly after the initial "this is so cool". It's basically fun for first 20 min, but it kind of sounds the same and there is really little real-world usage beyond annoying people (Had done that!). I know some people would go to vocaloid concert so the tolerance is different. But for me 20 min was the limit - and I love crazy things.
Thanks to your video, I now need to buy one of these (and dig out my SK-1 to play with it again). Even though I just spent more cash than I am like to admit on a Korg Nautilus, I'm getting one of these. Thanks for the info, this is a great video!
Just watched the new video about arranger keyboards. Always wanted one but too much $ for me. Your mention of this one at the end lead me here and now ima end up buying this online ffs! This is exactly what I need!
Excellent review. You gave enough of a demonstration to trigger the imagination - what can I do with this keyboard. Your explanations were on point and the music was inspiring.
The voice synthesis on this, and the acoustic rompler patches, cover territory I just can't get with any of my synths. It may be a Casio, but it fills in some pretty big gaps in a synth studio.
The Yamaha VKB-100 is a hardware vocal synth that allows customization, but can’t buy it in the US and I couldn’t get the app to work in the US, so I don’t know if that counts 😅 this Casio looks perfect though 🎉
i think roland VA 7 series 20 year ago /including touch screen/ had something similar with their "vari phrase" ? - thats only shows how advance was roland up to G70 after they left flagship arranger territory :(
Variohrase tech. Great demo. I haven't said this in decades for Casio. I want one. (Ironic) I asked a few months ago if this board had speakers, batteries and.... A bossanova button.
Hi, I'm one of those guitarists that pretend to know how to play keys and I use an old Juno-D. The 1000v's built-in speakers and assignable knobs make it interesting as a grab-and-go customizable keyboard. Would it be as good as the Juno-D for eletric Rhodes-like tones?
You had me at "snakes" and then you ruin it immediately. Also, I got a MT-65 when they were new. I still have it, it still works and to a large degree it's the very reason I do music production today. Some synths are more toylike than others, but noones first synth is a Yamaha DX1.
Really fun keyboard. I know Casio makes some really decent Pianos nowadays, buuuut .. nah they still don't convince me with this. It still sounds cheasy and even I do agree it seems to be a really fun board, this would make me go just as insane as when the kids learned to plug in the tape with Tele tubbies themself.... If I had to listen to the same robot phraze over and over all day in different weird chords, I would seriously considder a shack in the wilderness without the kids .. lol. Apart from that, I agree. It actually seems to be a fairly decent keybed they used considdering the price, which is a really big thing today when you considder how Yamaha that normally don't chease out on the quality put the absolutely worst piece of crap keybed I have ever touched from them in their Modx line. I predict these boards will sell well, especially used when people get tired of playing with the vocal thing, cause the arranger part is not better than what you got back in the 80'ies from Casio
The. Behringer VC340 is about the same price. Less keys, string machine, more controls. But the Casio sure sounds nice. I need neither because even I know Vocoder is something I will quickly look over at and say “what was I thinking?”
made several voice synths and explored various schemes of phoneme sequence triggering playability.. so fascinating to watch. custom phonemes are critical for nonamerican users :) personally i think the world lacks a very obvious, simple phase vocoder vst with an analysis step for sharing custom voices, but capitalism is too selfish, and i think the vst3 sdk is too much of a ballsache, since the public ignored anything not commerce approved to make it worth doing anyway.
@@FLH3official if it inspires you to create, then sure why not?! This particular Casio doesn't appeal to me or my tastes, but I can see a purpose for it... Which is a far cry better than a lot of things you see on the Bad Gear channel on here. ;)
@@JayKaufman Maybe in 40 years it will be the Casio Rapman, why not, the cult instrument of the early 2000 everybody ignored; and we'll all regret not to have buy one when it was 500 $/€. Or not. We'll have to see that on the BadGear channel of the 2060 if we can still buy AC electricity to run our computers. I take the risk, I wait 2060 😀
Old school synth guy here. Must be honest, I’ve just become really cynical and bored with modern synths but this is cool 😂 never thought I would spend almost 30 minutes watching a review on the new Casio keyboard! Thanks Ben
Awesome video! Casio kills. Here In Taiwan the accompaniments is a must at many social events, weddings and funerals. There’s a whole culture of live karaoke with a keyboard man playing hundreds of songs so the attendees to these events can sing their hearts out. One small detail: Tango from Argentina/Uruguay, Cueca from Chile. Abrazos Benn.
I know there’s probably a lot of professional musicians who will stick their nose up at this thing, but to me it looks like a lot of fun! Isn’t that part of why people create music in the first place? Awesome review of this new keyboard, I just ordered mine yesterday and am pumped to get my hands on it!
if a unit came out like this in the late 80s or early 90s it would be top of the line professional, the same people who turn away from these units, buy less capable vintage synths for a lot more money. They don't like it because it says casio and costs less than $1500 and it has built in speakers

Casio puts out fun keyboards still but God I hope they come back with the CZ series some day.
Been asking for this for years but they just won't bite
Or the Casio 1000p. Underrated keyboard.
A modern CZ would be great. Casio would rather make more Casiotone devices than serious gear. You can sell them like sausages.

That may be true but the CZ was nothing to sleep on. Extinct brands not withstanding.
Fantastic demo. Using custom waveforms in the vocal synthesis engine could be a fun way to get some unique sounds. I really wish casio made a full blown iPad patch editor for this. I think it would help with the sound editing and be a much nicer screen to look at than the dated design on the keyboard itself. I can't wait to see how they iterate on this tech in the future, but it looks very interesting to me right now.
I think thats how the korg DVP-1 worked, except they tied it to a microphone.
Pretty advanced idea in 1986.

Why is there always one guy whining about a desktop version for any given keyboard
@@leecheneler6202 You can record any phrase and play it back and has extreme ways to manipulate the voice, check it out! TC is Behringer!
@ thanks for the tip! i'm going to check it out, sounds great!
Casio's industrial designer might have been a tad nostalgic for the Sega Master System
Good eye, I didn't notice that until you mentioned
I see it now! 😆
Spent and afternoon at Guitar Center.
THIS SYNTH was the most fun instrument in the store, hands down.
Inspiring as hell. ALSO, keys have a great feel, much better than arturia, m-audio, novation etc at similar price
Are you comaparing casio Ct-S1000v to 61 or 88keys Arturira ?
I am so confused 88keys has semi weight key.
That Casio love right here. Rocking the Casio Privia PX-5S. 88 Weighted keys, lots of sounds, also a MIDI controller. Love it!
Thanks for talking about the Casio line.
Casio definitely deserves more love than they receive, esp like the hate from some gear snobs...
Casio are the masters of cheap fun! I love them especially used!
Wow, I didn't know this is what I was looking for!
"raise your hands up" is definitely the Casio version of "errbody put your hands in the air" ... and I absolutely can't wait for this split in the timeline.
I actually heard "Raise your cancer" D:
What a great review and a lot of fun! Looking forward to more!

gunshot erasure
The B. Meowsic keyboard has you covered.
Great enthustiastic demo! And YES, the Casio pianos are super and generally underrated! They're my standard recommendation, excellent sound and quality at a beginners price point.
Swizz Beatz started out using a Casio, ended up making hits for Ruff Ryders and DMX. It's all about your creativity.
My life doesn't feel complete without an arranger keyboard. This rocks!
I want one! Thanks for the demonstration. it was really fun and inspiring to watch AND listen to. Thank you!

thanks for the jazz part
Casio knocking it out the park again
I’ve recently been inspired playing it again and the have had a pleasure playing with it writing melodies
nice one Ben, cheers
4:39 the Monomachine have vocal synthesis and there is a hardware vocaloid (in keytar format) that was available only in japan (and only with japanese phonemes)

I never skipped through the timeline even once. 😊
When I hear Casio, I think of the CZ and digital watches
what a great review!
Daft Punk just bought three, just because they can!
Hey can this output backing tracks as MIDI? Bc that would be super sweet.
They stepped up their game with theit new Sound Architecture 2-3 Years ago..,.
The Yamaha VKB-100 is a hardware vocal synth that allows customization, but can’t buy it in the US and I couldn’t get the app to work in the US, so I don’t know if that counts 😅 this Casio looks perfect though 🎉
Inb4 lookin' sharp
Cool sounds and jams :) Is there a VST version of this? Or another existing VST that has cool comparable sound synthesis features?
i think roland VA 7 series 20 year ago /including touch screen/ had something similar with their "vari phrase" ? - thats only shows how advance was roland up to G70 after they left flagship arranger territory :(
does it squirt out the midi chords and rhythms ? that be cool . switch up the cheese with some really rank gorgonzola from euro rig ?
It's on sale in the UK from mid day Monday 24th🤞
I like Casio . Good story to. I like Casio from Japan very good
Live stream vocal tone experimentation please
That was seriously hilarious. Ha!
cool video! how is the key action on this keyboard? Thanks!
They should bring back a modern cz series
Benn, I love your channel and videos, but you missed one major thing to this video... A purple velour suit to go with your ivory tinklings.
Variohrase tech.
Great demo.
I haven't said this in decades for Casio.
I want one.
(Ironic) I asked a few months ago if this board had speakers, batteries and....
A bossanova button.
This is really cool
Yamaha FS1R? Albeit Formant, you could upload your own 'samples' some how, never tried it myself.
Casio should put out a eurorack version of this
Wait, two kinds of USB MIDI and no proper MIDI? ._.
I'm a simple man... I sit thru a 25min video i press like! XD
O M G
It’s like an Air album in a box.
My first impression I get to mind wheh I see the name casio, is a watch :'D

Wish they would have made a smaller footprint version, desktop or even a 25 key version. Just don't have the room!
make the room
I still have and use my Casio MZ-2000 which in my opinion was way ahead of it's time and also quite inexpensive.
Lol. Here we go!
But the big question is: Does it have the Sleng Teng Riddim?
i absolutely can't stand synths that are not unique in any way but this has a nice unique feel holistically.
You had me at "snakes" and then you ruin it immediately. Also, I got a MT-65 when they were new. I still have it, it still works and to a large degree it's the very reason I do music production today. Some synths are more toylike than others, but noones first synth is a Yamaha DX1.
Will got one if they make a sound module version like the yamaha NSX39

Okay I am in love, take my money
I want this so bad. I don't have space for it, but i'm not sure that is going to stop me.
I still want that calculator
The. Behringer VC340 is about the same price. Less keys, string machine, more controls. But the Casio sure sounds nice. I need neither because even I know Vocoder is something I will quickly look over at and say “what was I thinking?”
I was hoping you would pit the Casio against the classic “Benn And Gear” theme
THE DOG MOMENT THO
No 5pin midi? What about people who don’t use a computer? Makes this far less useful to many of us. 😕
My Casio CGP-700 is AMAZING! but I'v had friends dismiss it simply beacuase it's a Casio.
Interesting. . . My Yamaha FS1R can do some of the vocal sounds that the Casio can do, but this thing looks much more versatile
Does it loop the user created song/riff? So many recorders on these things just stop and dont loop..
10:20 a lot of Casio Chord keyboards has more than just major or minor like 7th maj7 dim etc...
Did you make a track for Awful Christmas Music 2021 and couldn't release it due to the NDA? Next year then!
at 16:33 i heard sailor moon intro ?
made several voice synths and explored various schemes of phoneme sequence triggering playability.. so fascinating to watch. custom phonemes are critical for nonamerican users :) personally i think the world lacks a very obvious, simple phase vocoder vst with an analysis step for sharing custom voices, but capitalism is too selfish, and i think the vst3 sdk is too much of a ballsache, since the public ignored anything not commerce approved to make it worth doing anyway.
