Casio WK3000:As it becomes available
Since Casio is considered a "funstation" by most folks on this board,I thought I'd post here as to avoid too much "flaming".
So far,for 300+ bucks,this thing is a MONSTER! I mean it,it ROCKS! When's the last time you played a "toy" that had compression and exciter/enhancer algorithims? Not to mention a Digital Equalizer? Stay Tuned!

Believe me or not, even the digital orientated reccers here will probably shiver a bit when anyone uses DIGITAL EQ in the a commercial. Digital eq can give good results. NOT in a keyboard of 300$. Jee. And one more thing, wherever you post on this board, it doesn't matter. If you won't accept the fact that Casio is marketed to the consumer market, instead of musicians, than you will get flamed. Casio is NOT comparable to anything that would have a GOOD SOUND. I hate you. Bah! You get on my nerves. Go away and DIE.

I don't need to take the challenge. I've had some casios in for repair. They sucked.
And the cheapo hifi thingy is a philips radio. It sounds bad, and worse if you touch the EQ. I HATE philips. BAH!

Yo Roel:
When did you become an Uncle? SkyKing: If the Casio makes your ears happy, go for it. I'm so attached to my Yam DX-7, and the three years of learning how it works, that I am prejudiced by it. I'm sure there are several other "newer" synths out there that blow my DX-7 away. But, I like the sturdy steel construction of the DX-7 and its many, many, many tweaks on board for the patches. Roel, have a nice bottle of wine wherever you are. Green Hornet

Recording: VS1880 and laptop with Audiophile USB, symetrix e528 and some mics, and some gear to tie it all together (cheapo mixer, cheapo headphone amp, ...) Then, Alesis monitor one, and some peavey amp. Some classical guitars, a fender strat, roland jazzchorus and Vtwin. And my most favourite instruments; a selmer IIseries silver plated alto and an old Hohner president alto. That would be it. Ow, and some bontempi keyboard that would fit in with the casios. How about you?

Green Hornet,
The classics endure... If the DX-7 is *it* for you...then rock on! I'm glad because it means that there is a "melting pot" of 'boards as well as races... Have you ever checked out any of Yamahas Home Keys? Go for it!

Yo' skyy, I'm gonna KINDLY ask you 1 more time to please post your Casio threads in either the "KEYBOARD" forum, or if you're looking to start an argument, in the "CAVE" forum.
'Nuff said.

You are here to promote the use of "home keys"?? As for casio, you could discuss about it, but for yamaha, it's pretty clear that they market 2 lines of products, one to REAL musicians, and one to guys thqt just want to try playing tunes... And fucking hell, I tried to start a decent discussion with you, talking about gear, and you just ignore my answer. One more chance dude, and I'm gonna flame your ass pretty bad.

Remeber back in the early to mid 80's when all those "plastic,synthy" drum machines came out?Those were pretty much the musical currency of those years.Remember when everyone and their brother and sister wanted a set of Simmons electronic drums?Remember how damn MUCH they cost,just for the "status"?.........

...I wonder how many of those kits are now stored in warehouses next to all of the "Dick Tracy" stuff...?
Everyone was snapping up the "first models" of everything that came down the pike,without really bothering to do any basic research-They just whipped out their wallets and hoped for the best.... "Hoping" doesn't help at all with fiscal concerns-You actually have to read up on the stuff and then go out and try it to see if the walk matches the talk. Now as then,it really doesn't because the "bigs" are in business to sell musical instruments most any way that they can.They could really give a crap if that brand new "Super Synth" is really going to help you write better stuff-Their in the business of "ka-CHING!",which is not a bad thing in and of itself...

...we ALL are in the business of $$$,it's the American way...
However,I really hate it when the "Bigs" try to put themselves of as "benevolent" while you're shoving $3k across the table for something that isn't worth 3 bucks.And,worse yet,you are buying into obsolescence EVERY TIME. Your fancy rig is guaranteed to be "a thing of the past" just as soon as the ink is dry,because the next big thing is just around the corner.....

......but before that "big thing" even crowns on the radar,you have to shell out more $$$ for "accessories" for your new toy..
"Optional this" and "Attachable that" and blah blah blah....and on it goes... A lot of the "new" stuff out there has already been out for quite some time and,guess what?-The holiday season doth approach and you can bet your bottom dollar that the bigs are gunning for you with lots of "brand new stuff"... And,you can bet also that the Technics Road Show will return to Costco with the same hammy salesman who spends all day trying to sell that crappy KN6000(or it's successor) for 4 grand. Thankfully,if the average consumer is not well informed,at least they don't have an extra 4k burning a hole in their pocket,just waiting to be *wasted*....

Obsolescence.........
Pretty much sums up your "gear" list. This comment was in no way to associate skyy's list of crap with actual recording equipment or instruments.

Sky why do you always say $3k? Are you aware there is a plethora of instruments that fill in the gaps between Casio and a flagship Triton or Motiv8? You can get a lot of Rolands and Yamahas that are in their 'Pro' category for under a grand. You can get 88 weighted key controllers for under $500 and for about the same price buy new and used sound modules.
Nobody is advocating that people should go out and buy the latest model because it will get you chicks. We just think you should use your ears and go for the best value. Value is not always what is cheap and new. There are many great deals on the used market.
