Casio - CT-6000, Casiotone, Vintage Keyboard

[@markzachenberg2797]

this thing has the most beautiful lush analog strings, surprised it wasn't demo'd. What a fantastic instrument for its time.

[@CokChopBeats]

This exact keyboard is where it all started for me. My dad bought this keyboard in the 80s from Service Merchandise.

Sounds so great I love strings and organ sounds of 80s 70s 🤩💙💙💙💖🙏💖🙏💖💖

[@Agordon-vw9lx]

Huge strings and ensemble sounds! Really amazing.

[@ariarola6539]

I still have that in use and it works!

[@YiHaHoi]

really nice!

[@kenzieprice6745]

I really like this board, if you don't count the HT series, it seems to be the furthest implementation of Casio's consonant-vowel chip series. They have some good sounds and would have been great to see how much further they could have gone with it if they stayed the course.

[@saulcross9690]

HT series uses a different form of synthesis altogether called spectrum dynamic synthesis which is a very crude implementation of wavetable synthesis with an analogue filter added… Vowel Consonant synthesis ended with this beast…

[@rolandotomala5132]

Very well !!

[@LikelyLoops]

Awesome!

[@miguelrejas5034]

Well the sound quality we are listen does not come from those speakers but passed by effects and through an amp. Sounds good though.

[@crazycatlive]

Sounds pretty well for a old keyboard

Ich habe das Keyboard 1985/6 gekauft und war zunächst begeistert, aber das ließ ziemlich schnell nach, die Sounds waren nicht gut, die Rhythmen und Begleitung auch nicht. Die 1Finger Automatik war ziemlich gut, die Tastatur war sehr stabil und die Midi-Konnektivität war schon ziemlich smart, ich habe es später als Masterkeybord verwendet, denn die Sounds und Begleitung waren ziemlich unterirdisch, dieses Demo hier verwendet aber FX und trocken klingen die Voices noch schlechter, dennoch habe ich es über 10 Jahre gehabt, der Preis lag um die 1000 DM/500€, aber jedes 50€ Keyboard ist heutzutage deutlich besser, sodass es heutzutage auch nur maximal 50€ Wert sein kann, alles darüber hinaus ist verwerflich

[@WearySisyphus]

does the bass come from the auto-harmonize function of the synth ?

[@ЛідіяДячук]

Hello! Good playing. Please tell me what to do if the control panel of such a synthesizer blinks and does not respond to buttons (mains power)

[@kenzieprice6745]

Check the internal ac power converter and then likely, you need to clean the heck out of switches and ribbon cable connections.

I just hot a syphonytone 8000 and not sure if it'd worth putting time and money into it. Can you offer advice?

[@m.schmied1714]

Sorry, no!

[@kenzieprice6745]

@@GCAT-zv9in That's an awesome acquisition!

[@mastercylinder1939]

Missed out on one for $50, now the toe rag who bought it, is trying to resell it for almost $500. I guess it’s a waiting game. There was also a CT-6500 for sale recently for $150.

[@joyoussound]

How sad.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

How much is this worth, does anyone know?

[@frankstetka7206]

Paid a cool $100 for mine, hope it works 🤣

[@PlanetIscandar]

*NowI'mMe* When it was released it's price was over 2000 DM in Germany, perhaps 2200 DM (can't remember exactly). The price of the next Flagship (CT-6500) was 2499 DM.

[@ottobuffonto]

​@@PlanetIscandarder Preis in Deutschland lag bei 1000-1300 DM

[@PlanetIscandar]

@@ottobuffonto Ich versichere Dir, dass der Preis bei etwa 2500 Mark oder etwas weniger lag, aber nicht weniger als 2200 DM. Im Jahre 1986.

[@ottobuffonto]

@@PlanetIscandar ich habe 1985/6 1150 DM bezahlt, für 2000 DM oder höher hätte man ja locker einen Synthesizer bekommen
