Members tagpass Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 Pic looks a little Venom-ish... Fingers crossed, it's a CZ-something. I still use a very pristine-looking 1000 as my "secret weapon" in sound effects design. I love the thing, but it's *so* tedious to program! Don't understand the Casio snark. CZs still have a fresh and relevant sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KingVidiot Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I agree. Don Solaris' CZ demo from a while back showed some real quality sounds coming from that series. They weren't weird or silly, just plain good. JM Jarre used a CZ-5000 as did many other folks, so I don't get the Casio bashing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members liliththekitten Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 dammit missed the picture. But if its silver/grey/white with orange, there's one on YouTube and it does look a bit Venom-ish. Also reminds me of a Casiotone 7000 (I think that's the one) or a big HT so this is a good thing to me if Casio's getting back to more pro gear.I also like the idea of them making stuff in white or at least light colors other than fake silver - the old white Casios from the early 80's were so pretty. Always wanted one, though all my Casios have been black.Look at ppl getting all excited about Casio. If this is a real synth I want it to get at least as many posts as GAIA or Venom.

Members cresshead Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 dang missed that picture also, re casio...the cz101, cz1000 etc were great sounding synths so casio know how to make a good synth engine, i also had a fz1 and a vz1 back in the late 80's-early 90's...in fact my VERY first keyboards were a VL tone and a mt40 !go casio!...hope they do a retro analogue synth with loats of knobs and sliders!

Members Gaul Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 For those that didn't see the picture it has 4 assignable knobs, lot's of somewhat retro styled square buttons and panel design that shifts toward their CZ/HZ/HT series from 80's in silver as a main color and orange applications. It is not clearly discernable does it has a screen or not, but to my eyes, looks like the screen was photoshopped out, not to give out too much.I saved the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gaul Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 And one more thing: it certainly does NOT have microkeys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mediterranean Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Dear people: you have to be observant!What do you think the main theme in the photo is?You got it: LIVE performance!My guess is this is the kind of synth that does it all! Maybe even a synth for DeeJays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ RAZZ Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 The one I saw was kinda white and looked like a synth / all in one hybrid. It vanishes after a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members liliththekitten Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Synth/keyboard geared for live performance... Seems kinda Jupiter-80-ish actually ...at a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poserp Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 What would that be in the first video. The video is private, but the thumbnail looks intriguing...https://www.google.com/search?tbm=vi...&aqi=&aql=&oq= Sounds like what people are talking about here, doesn't seem to match any current products.

Members Bernard Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 My gut reaction is this is going to be an extension of the existing range. IE it will have the sequencer and arranger functionality and PCM sounds to suit. If we are lucky they may throw in something else. No doubt their new flagship...

Members Gaul Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Most prominently, right in front of the player, it features 8 buttons in a group, which could signify 8 timbres. It could be a stretch of imagination, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members liliththekitten Posted December 22, 2011 Members Share Posted December 22, 2011 That is a nice watch! I liked the old Baby-G's though I never had one (was a Seiko Spoon fan). Casio used to make a DJ line - iirc the men's G_Shock had a tap tempo bpm counter but the Baby-G played music. Cuz only guys spin records or something. Besides that, I remember there were Bis and Pizzicato Five versions of the musical Baby G's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
