Casiotone 701 & REDOX spacey '70s

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

I just realized my subconscious mind played You're Lost, Little Girl at 8:39 lol - must have been all those hours practicing Ray Manzarek riffs on my Farfisa Matador back when I was a kid :-D

[@stefan1024]

Hooray for Ray! :D

[@NabilBenseddik-np6fg]

Bonne musique❤très années 70❤

[@igorosorio1142]

Precious melody. Gracias Maestro;) I am very happy with my casiotone 7000 and Zoom MS 70 multistomp....heavenly combination...

[@VinceAlvare]

That pedal makes the drums on this baby sound so sweet! I've been using mine with a multi overtone pedal, but i might have to grab a redox because i need that drum sound! Thank you for the demo

[@shahryartaherkhani5299]

You made my day ! What a beautiful vibe, what an amazing energy, I just started singing along with it, dude. Your amazing, Thank you🍻🍺🌺🙏

[@WolfgangProductions]

Yea, Yea, Yea. It's A year later, But "O" My Gosh ! , This Episode Is Pure Awesomeness!!. Fantastico!! Grazie mille :)

[@csilt]

I bought one of these recently because of your last video. Love the drums and the sounds this thing makes. So organic and nice, can't wait to run it through my space echo and nice spring reverbs I have. Analog forever baby! : )

[@LeoVKMusic]

Love this keyboard. I used to play a Farfisa Compact Professional in my band, but for smaller venues and ease of portability, I would swap it for the Casio for a lot of gigs. Great sound.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TH3_FURY]

Magnifique ! Some tune gives me a nostalgia of the 70's and my childhood....All that feeling seems so far !!

[@callmebigpapa]

Truly magical, thank you for sharing this.

[@semectual]

For an old Casiotone 701, this sounds very relaxing indeed! I'll have to play this on my surround sound system! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The ultimate synth authority;God bless you Paolo

[@kevinbirge2130]

I have a 403. These early Casio machines are wonderful. I’d love to have a 701, too.

[@toitoitoy]

So calm and peaceful improvisation. Bravo, Paolo.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you

[@expandingknowledge8269]

WOW, what a Great instrument, and that reverb, MAGNIFIQUE !!! Love your videos !!!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you!

[@DjNikGnashers]

Like a Richard Wright solo from an early Pink Floyd album, really nice.

[@slowblack3947]

This is becoming one my favorites very quickly! More CASIO please!!!

[@nathanarizona9612]

This sounds amazing man

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you

[@scottrae8412]

That sounds magnificent! I bought a non-operational 701 a few years back for £20. It's currently in a repair shop to try and get it working. I'm going to email the guy now to find out if there has been any progress!

[@ChasD]

Love those old Casiotones! The drums/ accompaniment are fully analogue too. IIRC, the 701 model uses a form of sine wave synthesis, whereas most of the early 80's Casiotones used Consonant Vowel. Lovely retro/ spacey sounding track btw!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you, Chas! I love them too - yes, the 701 is very "organ-style" but it has some excellent features not found in later models.

[@Bocmaxima79]

Awesome! It's like Pink Floyd meets Beach House.

[@nooneknows3478]

Really enjoyed this little lofi jam 😏👌 Would love to see more stuff like this, keep it up 😁👍

[@sn00ch]

AMAZING as always!!!!!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you!

[@SethJohn]

This is really cool. Love the vibe.

[@thelaboratoryofspacerecord5239]

I think this might be one of my favorite pieces in your opera. See you tonight at Knobcon!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Paolo, please host a live stream sometime soon!

[@bcloud78]

Did I miss the 100k followers video? Congratulations, majestro. :)

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Aw, thanks! I haven't done the 100k followers video, yet, will do that very soon with the obligatory Gear Giveaway as well, stay tuned :)

[@WarrenPostma]

@@SynthManiaDotCom Well done. One of the BEST synth channels on the whole KZbins, you rock sir.

[@SamplersAndThings]

I would like to mod the “sound effects” as they seem to be a self oscillation filter effect. Would love to add knobs to tweak those.

[@BenedictRoffMarsh]

Wow that sounds really nice. When you see Casiotone, you kinda expect it to be terrible but this is a lovely rich sound.

[@LouisSerieusement]

Casio tone are what they are, the sound is cheap, but in a good way...however the audio signal itself as some kind of solid density to it that makes it really usable, if you have a use for those kind of sound ;

[@tonyisyourpal]

That intro... have you watched Koyaanisqatsi recently ? ;)

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Lol nop... and I haven't listened to Philip Glass since probably the late '80s either :D

[@TheMCCraftingTable]

DELICIOUS snare and reverb.... quite an enjoyable jam

[@Eyepatchfilms]

Sounds amazing

[@Electrofrater]

Great, art!

[@baroufess]

So emotional !!!Good work.

[@rot_studios]

Beautiful!

[@RosalvoParadella]

Esse Casio tem uma pegada retrô muito boa !! Junto com o Redox, ficou perfeito. ♥️🤘

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you, Rosalvo!

[@5ch3nk]

I like this one a lot.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you, 5ch3nk

[@hujuu]

Fantastic.

[@thierryroland7102]

The sound is great, cathedral.

[@jippalippa]

This is lovely! Are there any authors from the past that have this style, that I can recover?

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you ! Yeah, definitely look into '70s psych rock and also Kraut rock

[@jippalippa]

@@SynthManiaDotCom Qualcuno nello specifico da raccomandarmi? ciao Paolo!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Can, Ashra Tempel, Popol Vuh, Klaus Schulze, Gong, even our own Baffo Banfi

[@youbecha64]

Just watched Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii (from the 70s), the first 4 mins sounds just like a Richard Wright piece near the beginning (don't remember the song) I love it!

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thanks! Indeed this early '80s Casiotone has killer organ patches

[@youbecha64]

Hammond spinet

[@kemek3000]

Well, that’s another keyboard I have to buy because of your demos!

[@taneltahevali5942]

Hi Paulo, a bit off topic but I'm curious about the piano riff of the song "Endless Summer" by Scooter. Is it possible that they used a Korg M1 or something similar. Love from Estonia.

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Hi Tonel, - yeah, M1 or following Korg product

[@softestaterecords2422]

Hi I have a question about the 701 - Can the arpeggiator be used without the drum machine going, or does it only work when the drum machine is going?

[@morallita]

Should i acquire this synth for $60?

[@yoeskalatoryo]

well plAYED mate!

[@shahryartaherkhani5299]

Who's artist & track that song !?🍻🍺👌👌🌺👏👏👏👏

[@1710000huh]

god bless Paolo

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you, -

[@jakeyboy2929]

Can you tell me how you hooked this up to the pedal please? Do you know what the line out low and line out high are?

[@neworder80]

special sound 70s .good

[@synthartist69]

Well, this video just caused the used price of a 701 to go up 150.00.

[@Electrofrater]

Bravo!

[@jakeyboy2929]

Did the internal speaker get disabled when you plugged into the ‘Line Out’?

[@SamplersAndThings]

It does not. I’m going to try and add a switch for the speaker on mine.

[@sliccricc1654]

Spooktober my dudes and the thumbnail knows it

[@raidernationfullmoonrecord9516]

Awesome

[@MinimalWave1982]

No idea CASIO used to had Keyboards with wood panels back in the day...

[@EgoShredder]

The large keyboards we had at school in the 1970s and 80s were like this. I also have a friend whose grandfather had one at home, big sized model and like a piece of furniture. They had a certain charm and warmth to them.

[@stefan1024]

It's fake wood though, and it gets sort of sticky over the years. While the drums and sound effects are analog, the normal keyboard sounds are pure digital. I had one of those, but sold it. It surely has it's charme, but at the end of the day you can get such sounds out of a lot of keyboards and home organs.

[@t55a2]

@@stefan1024 Are you sure? It has trimmers inside.

[@t55a2]

@@stefan1024 True about home keyboards/organs though. You see lots of organs going cheap but they take up so much space. Single keybed ones are good but rarely see them.

[@stefan1024]

@@t55a2 I'm quite sure. You can hear it when you play on one of those. I have several analog preset keyboards from the late 70s to mid 80s (Hohner, Yamaha, JVC, several organs desperately trying to be synths) and it's a different sound. The Casio sounds nice though, and remember that digital was a good thing back then. :) Also drums, comping and those two spacy disco effects seem to be pure analog, the trimmers might be for those.

[@kazunorikawasaki7081]

👍👍👍

[@jenniferhardy1062]

When I first started watching this video, I swore I almost could've heard a slowed down version of "Fix You" by Coldplay.

[@kiwictor3752]

Cool

[@rot_studios]

Some Whiter Shade of Pale bleeding through too I hear :D

[@rockymaldonado7758]

God that thing sounds absolutely incredible..... Is it so much to ask that a company do a modern take on a keyboard that looks and functions like this?? I can deal with all new synths and keyboards being way too overcomplicated, but why does everything have to look so dull and lifeless!? Ugh... Annnyywaaaay beautiful playing my guy.

[@lucio788]

this is kind of heartbreaking

[@LouisSerieusement]

Do you have the light scanning pen ? :p Beautiful demo !! thanks for using the pew pew preset !

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Thank you! Yes, the light pen is actually sitting on top of the keyboard in this video. I plan to do a video that shows the scanning of the music soon. Yes, love those orange fx buttons :-D

[@LouisSerieusement]

@@SynthManiaDotCom I would absolutely love to see this technology in action ; people had great ideas in the 80's :p
