- 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.

My first keyboard my dad bought me like 30+ years ago wow! bring back the memory 😀
Such a fine keyboard. Thanks for the upload, these sounds are classic!
Great review! thanks!
I just picked up a mint 405, it sounds and looks amazing 😎
Lucky
The transpose function works with the main voice and the bass/chords simultaneously. The can shift the key of whatever you are playing by an interval, completely on the fly. It's a nice feature for such an old keyboard.
this would sound awesome with fuzz and or regular distortion
i love this thing, i regret not buying one when i had the chance
2:36 wow casio rocks
Can you explain a little more about about the transpose function... I am curious if you can get it to transpose down a step...and if the transpose works with the bass/chords or just with the main voice.
Just picked one up for $5 at a thrift store. No power supply though... Any ideas to where I can find one?
i actually just found one of these at my local good will in very nice shape for 15 bucks, which lead me here
What's the polyphony my good sir? :)
Hi, is it touch sensitive?
and how much does a used one cost nowadays? if its in good condition
ct-301 is pretty nice too
This is a very similar character to the sound that the older MT series keyboards have
Is there a sound similar to a music box?
thanks for posting a video of this. there was one of these at my thrift store and ubfortunately i wasnt able to buy it on time. so if you or if anyone is interested in selling just message me.
and if people are collectors and are in need of the original case contact me and ill shoot a video.
thnx!
They haven't made them since like 1980 so you'd have to buy it used. There's no set price for one
Hi! Does the 405 have the same sounds as the 202?
Although alot of the original ct series have the same / similar sounds I don't believe that the 202 does. Someone else please chime in. It's been a while since I have owned a 202.
@@solidstatecollective thanks for your answer. I had a 202 and sold it but now I regret! I'm searching and I've found an affordable 405 and I'd like to have the same sounds as the 202. Let's see if someone can give some light on it.
Really upset about buying the 701 now
pocketadam Sorry - the 701 is cool but the 405 is the best IMO.
pocketadam I second that. I thought the 701 had the same sounds as the 405 and I was so wrong
OUT OF TONE!!!!!
