Casio Island! (Casio MT-400v Keyboard Demo)
When I was 14, back in the 80s, I got my first electronic keyboard- a Casio MT-100. I made lots of rudimentary dual cassette deck overdub recordings with it, little sketches of tunes that usually were never developed. I lent my MT-100 to Cindy Lee Berryhill years ago and never got it back, but recently I bought a Casio MT-400v at a garage sale. It has all the same sounds/functions as the MT-100, plus a much needed analog filter section!
This is a new recording of one of my original Casio tunes called “Casio Island” with my MT-400v. I didn’t use the analog filter here, because I never had it on the MT-100 back in the day, and I wanted this version to be as close to the original as possible, just with better recording technology.
Recently I used this Casio in a live cover version of Yaz’s “Nobody’s Diary” with Marie Haddad singing. We just finished making a proper recording of it, again using only the Casio, though I used the computer to cheat alot! You can hear it at http://www.myspace.com/mariehaddad (5th song down).
You can hear the original version of Casio Island in all its tape-hissy glory here:

What should I look for when buying a used electronic keyboard?
I found a couple of electronic keyboards at a thrift store and I’m thinking of buying one to practice on. Just so I don’t make a bad decision, what should I check for/ask about?
Most of the keyboards I see in thrift stores are home keyboards made by Casio and Yamaha. Ignore brands that you’ve never heard of. If you find one, test it:
1. Make sure it’s clean and complete. I see many that look like the kids had it in the playroom for a few years.
2. Turn it on, and set it to patch 01 – piano – and check every key. Make sure each key activates the note and releases. Also make sure the keys return to the original position.
3. Go through a few more sound banks and listen to the speakers for crackling. Usually a bass sound will push them hard, so try that.
It would also be a good idea to check the price against new home keyboards. You’d be surprised what you can get new for $100.
Also, the newer keyboards usually have newer samples (recorded instrument sounds) and, therefore, sound better.
Still, if you find a decent keyboard for $20 or $40, go for it.
