Excellent info. Need to replace my fifteen year old WK 1300. Nothing wrong with the keyboard, but it keeps cutting out. Lost sound in the middle of playing for a church service yesterday so it has to go! Will now buy the 7600 after your very good assessment. Thanks.
I have used the WK-7500 for years as my main gigging keyboard. It's amazing. With a bit of noodling, the sliders can be mapped to control volume on layered sounds. This means I can fade the layered sounds in/out as needed. I use a variety of piano and electric piano sounds, organs and strings when I play. Most of the other sounds go unused. I don't need a monitor since the speakers can be set to stay on while you connect to an amp or PA. And the complaints I heard in your review about the sounds are pretty much moot once you pipe the sounds out. They literally use the same sound engine so, there is that. The keyboard noise can be distracting but playing live, the volume on stage covers all of that up too. Good review.
Thanks for a great practical demonstration. I often prefer a comparison and you've done it. Much appreciated. I have a Casio WK 3000 and am looking at what is next.
Wish you would have done an Organ comparing back and forth -- that's what I was really wondering about. Although you did shine some light on the action problem and the new sounds for the wk7600 -- please do an organ and drawbars ect.
Hi Kris. Thanks for doing this great comparison. I'm thinking about picking up a WK-7600. I was wondering if you could show us how to sequence and edit tracks on the WK-7600. Thanks for sharing with us.
My keyboard (wk-7500) is like eleven years old. Wish I had known about the keybed. I've been using mine to gig and it's very distracting hearing the keys clacking as I play.
I'm a keyboard casual. I used to own the Casio WK-7600 as my "serious" arranger with a Yamaha PSR-540 for retro purposes like a Sound Canvas alternative for MS-DOS games. Both are lost to me, as well as the Korg Triton I never got into, but I want to get this specific line of Casio back... Is there a model with 88 keys while retaining the other features? As an outsider, the numbers get confusing.
Hello Kris, thank you for your perfirmance, it is real good. I am willing to see more videos from you, well, I just have got the WK 7600 in this year, a month ago. I'm glad to have this one, however, I was wondering wich is the latest CASIO of this WK series up today? Because maybe there is some other brand new in this series. Do you have some new closer tutorials for this WK 7600 keyboard? Greetings from Tijuana!
Hi Kris, can you do a demo of WK7600's back panel? I'd like to know more about the connections this keyboard can do. From the Line Out Terminals to the Phones Terminals. I recently bought a standard 1/4" stereo jack and was surprised that it doesn't go all the way through the Phones Terminals (Headphones).
Hi Kris if you were asked to play in a band this weekend and you had to play House of the Rising Sun and Green Onions in the set what Casio or other cheaper make keyboard would you take along if you didn't have a Vox Continental handy?
Hello. Pls am an intermediate classical player and i make use of strings, organ and trumpet sounds. Will the Wk7600 be good for me to continue to the advanced level? Pls am confused help me
I know you made this a long time ago but how did you find the rhodes and organ sounds on the 7600? Anything out there currently in the same price range that you think is better? Thanks!
Hi Kris,,,Thanks a lot for the video ,, after watching I decided to buy the wk 7600,, but about two weeks of using it ,,I am learning on it and its my 2nd keyboard , I had noticed that some keys make some clicking noise when I hit them ,about 3-5 keys,, It doesnt effect the performance but it kinda bother me ,,do you think its ok ? should I request a return from the seller ,and what about the wk7600 you got did you have similar issue? I would love to hear what you think....
Hi Kris, I like your keyboard comparisons and demos. I have the WK7500 but find the keys small and the action as you described in this demo. Your thoughts on the Korg microkey 61 Air were also very interesting since a lightweight very portable keyboard has advantages during travels. How would you compare this keyboard action though against the WK7500? John
Kris nice explanation. I hope some day will play little like you. I already have a Casio WK 7500 it is great. But now I have the chance to buy a Roland GW8 Workstation. I am like you I prefer to colect pianos intead of sell them ha ha. But I have to sell it. But I am not sure to do it. I try to find some one in youtube that has compared both keyboards but I could not find it. Your advice pls should I buy a Roland GW8 or keep my CASIO?
Hi! I just have the WK-7600, the rhythm is loud like what you are playing, but when I play the tone (say piano), the tone sound is low. I cannot turn volume high, it will become very loud. Can you give me a matching frequency I can put in to let my tones go louder. Thanks so much.
HMNn..nice demo of the sounds..? couple years back I had a Casio WK-3000 keyboard,,and i hear some sounds are similiar to that one then..and yes its been inprovement since that WK 3000 model..The 7600 sounds more Genuine sounds,now. but Still the drum section still sounds not 100% genuine but Ok for average home musicians..?? I rather would have a separate Drummascin.instead.and Rytm sections too.and I you get a second hand keyboard at price 200-300 dollar then its good machine?🎵😎
i am thinking of getting the yamaha psr ew410 or this wk 7600 i can only plat using 1 finger cords, and still learning which keybard do you think is the best to learn to play on the yamaha or the casio if you get back to me i would be greatful
Hi Kris! Thanks for the informative video. Do you know if somebody could buy a brand new set of keys and improve their older Casio WK model and get rid of the clicking sound that has been there for decades ? By the way, I have a WK-220 ...are these keys the same size/stuff as the WK-75000 ? Thanks!
Good job. I have a question: wk7500 have four speakers distributed in four of six "circle" in the front panel. Which of these is the one that should not sound? Thanks.
Great demo of the 2 keyboards. I have the 7500 and am thinking of upgrading to the 7600. Do you know what the difference is between the 6600 and the 7600 other than the drawbars?
I've Noticed a different size of circles (speakers holes) in Ctk-7200 and Wk-7600. ¿Is there a difference in output power/ volume? I red in other video comment section than the voice bank of the wk-7600 is better than CTK-7200, has anybody listen to both of them to check this ?
Hey. I have a question. I've been wanting a keyboard like this for a while now because I'm particularly fond of pianos and organs in general, and they do both, but I never really had the opportunity to buy one. So of course I'm a beginner in this domain. And I was wondering; would the 7600 be a good choice to learn? Knowing that I'd rather not buy a new model each time I get better at it. Or is the 7600 just too hard to start with for someone like me? If it is, do you have any other recommendation? Thanks, if you actually take the time to answer me.
I've been doing keyboard research. The WK-7600 became a product of interest, but I also considered the WK-7500 - I mean, what's the big difference? Thankfully I ran across this video.
Bill Hahn Hi there, as was noted in the video, one of the big differences is how you can hear your use of the keys on the 7500. The 7600 is smoother and more reflective of the piano users experience. It's not as ... clunky when hitting the keys as what you will hear when you use the 7500. To me that would be a big issue. I don't want to hear 'thunk thunk thunk as I am hitting the keys, and have to worry if I can use that noise in a live recording. The value of the sound was mentioned as well, but while I heard a difference, I didn't hear any big deal breaking differences.
Great effort Kris :) Very good demo. I am an intermediate keyboard player/composer was looking for Yamaha PSR S750 or Roland's FA-06 but now 7600 sounds like a great option. Thanks
Speakers on the wk7500 seem not to be so great. If you connect good quality headphones or pa, it sounds great!! I have an old Casio keyboard from the years 1990's and the speakers sound better than the ones on the newer wk7500.
The Yamaha MOXF Series is great but you are paying a Hi Price for a Keyboard that is Heavy and lot of bells & whistles you may not use The WK series is very user friendly and stand up to Studio or Live gigs
+The Unoverse Dude, you can't even begin to compare the Yamaha mox to this keyboard. That one is a professional synthesizer with endless sounds and possibilities. That one costs like $1400.
The keys of the casio better than the moxf6. Soundwise the yamaha has better sounds, but the wk series are arrangers. and its not the same as the moxf. For the price of the wk, its worth the money. And has alot of capabilities. i sold my moxf6 already. i sold all my motif and fantoms. Now im just using a kronos, wk-7500, ax-synth and a 5080 rack loaded
Well... If you can hear the key action it only means one thing: You're amplifier is not powerful enough!!! Get a proper amplifier, and it will render the key noise irrelevant. :)
So what do you remember? It’s not the same kind of keyboard. I have the 101, I also have a monster analog casio from before they invented midi. It sounds fatter than these digital ones. It weighs 25 times more. It’s 76 notes and the church organ sounds like your in a church with the monster church organist playing. The analog 101 has some qualities. Say something don’t just remember.
Your right i was wrong..7600 i purchased bc of u i was a misserable b at that time. Im sorry for insulting u. Plus i removed the dumb comment i made honey im sorry forgive please❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love,,, Love how you go back & forth between both keyboards!!!! Fantastic!!! Not many artists do this!!! BRAVO!!!!!

Just purchased this. So excited to know they key sound has been fixed. I am upgrading from my Casio WK-3800. Thanks so much for this info.
was it better than the older wk-3800??
WK 7600 is a great keyboard as compared to others in its price range.
Thanks so so much. After listening to your test I decided to buy the 7600. Really helpful your video.
Thanks for a great practical demonstration. I often prefer a comparison and you've done it. Much appreciated. I have a Casio WK 3000 and am looking at what is next.

Hi Kris. Thanks for doing this great comparison. I'm thinking about picking up a WK-7600. I was wondering if you could show us how to sequence and edit tracks on the WK-7600. Thanks for sharing with us.
I have buyers remorse, bought the wk 7500, and the sound is very tinny, when you hit a key too hard it sounds very tinny!
My keyboard (wk-7500) is like eleven years old. Wish I had known about the keybed. I've been using mine to gig and it's very distracting hearing the keys clacking as I play.
So useful vid, but why didn't You compare the drawbar panels? Cheers!

Did you figure it out?
Hi Kris, can you do a demo of WK7600's back panel? I'd like to know more about the connections this keyboard can do. From the Line Out Terminals to the Phones Terminals. I recently bought a standard 1/4" stereo jack and was surprised that it doesn't go all the way through the Phones Terminals (Headphones).
Thanks Kris (and ginger cat) Glad they've sorted out the keyboard mechanism. This was always a big let down on WKs.
Hi great video, how do these casio models match up with the yamaha psr ew-400
Hi Kris if you were asked to play in a band this weekend and you had to play House of the Rising Sun and Green Onions in the set what Casio or other cheaper make keyboard would you take along if you didn't have a Vox Continental handy?
Hello. Pls am an intermediate classical player and i make use of strings, organ and trumpet sounds. Will the Wk7600 be good for me to continue to the advanced level?
Pls am confused help me
Dude you are amazing on those keyboards
Mirek k Thanks Man
This is a great review. .... Is there a piano with strings sound?
+PeeJay Blaze They both have string sounds. Also you can layer and piano sound with a string sound.
They usually have Piano & Strings as a single tone, and it's in the PIANO category.
I know you made this a long time ago but how did you find the rhodes and organ sounds on the 7600? Anything out there currently in the same price range that you think is better? Thanks!
Very helpful comparison...can you tell me if the WK-7600 includes MONO MODE for monophonic synth lead playing? thanks!
Hi Kris,,,Thanks a lot for the video ,, after watching I decided to buy the wk 7600,, but about two weeks of using it ,,I am learning on it and its my 2nd keyboard , I had noticed that some keys make some clicking noise when I hit them ,about 3-5 keys,, It doesnt effect the performance but it kinda bother me ,,do you think its ok ? should I request a return from the seller ,and what about the wk7600 you got did you have similar issue?

I figured it out...I couldn't save user tones at first...but I wasn't changing the number
Anyone notice how the speech is about 1/4 of the music volume? Please balance the two. Otherwise a good demo.
Kris nice explanation. I hope some day will play little like you. I already have a Casio WK 7500 it is great. But now I have the chance to buy a Roland GW8 Workstation.

Спасибо за обзор.
en lo personal estos dos mounstruos me encantan
Fiturnya mungkin sama ya ? perbedaanya ada pada kualitas suara dan perangkat kerasnya
Very good comparison! Thank you!

Great demo of the 2 keyboards. I have the 7500 and am thinking of upgrading to the 7600. Do you know what the difference is between the 6600 and the 7600 other than the drawbars?

nice skills,THAnx for every single info
I love my WK-7500
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu
You helped so much
Good comparison, but you didnt do anything with organs, are they the same or what?
Anyway thanks
The organs are basically the same only thing about the organ voices when you used to sliders on the WK 7600 it has no glitches in between
I've Noticed a different size of circles (speakers holes) in Ctk-7200 and Wk-7600. ¿Is there a difference in output power/ volume? I red in other video comment section than the voice bank of the wk-7600 is better than CTK-7200, has anybody listen to both of them to check this ?
José Fernando Lizcano Galindo Both have 7W + 7W output power

The WK-7600 would be an Awesome choice to learn and the keyboard will grow with you years go by it is a great workstation
Thanks a lot!
These or mz x300?

oOoConstanceoOo Thanks, Kris. I had already made the decision to purchase the 7600, and your input ices the cake.
name first song ?
Nice sir ji
Nice demo Kris however wondering why you didn't compare the hammond drawbars differences between the two.
Great effort Kris :) Very good demo. I am an intermediate keyboard player/composer was looking for Yamaha PSR S750 or Roland's FA-06 but now 7600 sounds like a great option. Thanks
Hi there..very good video..i have a question..do you know how much is the price of the wk7600 ..???...thanks.
You can get them now for about $450
Mr. T-klas If it helps at all I got a 7500 on eBay recently for $210. I would expect the 7600 to be a bit more
I paid only 169 € for my key, 3 years old.
Original price is currently about 350 €
ДА струва 980 лв.
Great info.....thank you/

Kris compared to the Yamaha MOXF8 or 6 how do these Casios stand up? I know the Yamaha sound library is impressive.
The Yamaha MOXF Series is great but you are paying a Hi Price for a Keyboard that is Heavy and lot of bells & whistles you may not use The WK series is very user friendly and stand up to Studio or Live gigs
+The Unoverse Dude, you can't even begin to compare the Yamaha mox to this keyboard. That one is a professional synthesizer with endless sounds and possibilities. That one costs like $1400.

Awesome!!!! Bro
Thanks Kris, Does the 7500 improve when using a keyboard amplifier or is is just louder?
Yes Both Do when using an amp
Well... If you can hear the key action it only means one thing: You're amplifier is not powerful enough!!! Get a proper amplifier, and it will render the key noise irrelevant. :)
Interesting,
Can you give me a keyboard?
Wk7600 dynamics and key bed much better.
Big difference in key noise.
HA! I remember my CZ-101🤣
So what do you remember? It’s not the same kind of keyboard. I have the 101, I also have a monster analog casio from before they invented midi. It sounds fatter than these digital ones. It weighs 25 times more. It’s 76 notes and the church organ sounds like your in a church with the monster church organist playing. The analog 101 has some qualities. Say something don’t just remember.
All you're little complaints go away when you use headphone cans.. Simple..
the 7600 is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah maybe lose the gut?
Your right i was wrong..7600 i purchased bc of u i was a misserable b at that time. Im sorry for insulting u. Plus i removed the dumb comment i made honey im sorry forgive please❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you record your voice into a tone slot and use it in a song.
