this is some 80s-level casio keyboard goofiness/genius and I love it! just wish it didn't require an app to use and let you input the vocals into the machine itself

@RenatoPernett 2 жыл бұрын

Indeed! For example, such a beauty can't be used as a live vocoder per se! I mean, why Casio usually stops where the fun begins? This could be a match for the Roland VP series, or to the Novation Mininova... This could even enter into the stage keyboard podium (if 76 notes, modwheel, etc.). Nevertheless, it's possible they release something like that, and that this is the entry level or something. But question is, why on earth do they wait too long!

More features on an entry level board is only possible due to Apps. Considering the price segment this is the only possible way. With increasing users connecting boards to their Computer DAWs that makes it more flexible on how this board can be used. Of recent CASIO boards are innovative in functionality and I expect a mid range keyboard with more features and controls than the big players if CASIO have an idea of stepping up their music market.

@curdoggie 2 жыл бұрын

I think it's strange they choose to make something with such a limited use case before making a modern version of their classic digital techniques. This is definitely cool and unique, but it's less practical than their 80s synths. It's cool they're making actual synths again, but this seems like something that would be fun to use for a couple of days before it would just take up space. We'll see once the reviews come out though

Seen a lot of people already asking "why not just use a vocoder" but for me who spent a lot of time writing in the past, I can see an advantage of going this route. It's quite likely that what someone might type would be rather different than what they might just say. Hopefully that makes sense??? I can just see it being a whole different way to approach song writing than the standard using a mic...
