Members Mark L Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I own the 5000, which I assume is very similar to the 7000 It's okay, actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anderton Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 Following is the CTK-7000 review I wrote for the Portable Music roundup in the July 2011 issue of Electronic Musician. I've spent a lot of time with the WK-7500 (almost identical to the CTK-7000), and I have to say it blew my mind that it delivers that kind of functionality for the price. I'd advise checking it out at a music store and going through the sounds. If you're happy with the sounds, you'll be happy with the rest of it. People tend to diss Casio, but they hired a bunch of synth veterans and have assembled quite a team. Their synth division is doing some pretty interesting products by combining the Casio mass-market pricing philosophy with a more pro audio engineering background.

Members Mark L Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I've been looking at the WK-7500, Craig I might just have to buy it I like Casio gear. It's never let me down and it's cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members electrochrisso Posted December 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thanks for reply's guys.

Going to check out your review Craig, only have one small music shop near me, ill check if they have one. I did try to find some demo on the web in mp3, but only u-tube ones and I am in a bad spot for internet speed, which renders u-tube practically useless for me, Australia is still 20 years behind, even though it thinks it is more advanced. I think I will get one though, incredible for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members electrochrisso Posted January 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have received the unit a few days ago and this is an amazing and very versatile keyboard with so many features. And it sounds good too, the drawbar organ feature rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ggm1960 Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have the Casio Privia PX-3 88 weighted key keyboard. It sounds/plays great, has all the typical sounds I need for gigs and at only 25 lbs it's the only keyboard I take to gigs these days. The only thing I find weird about it is the midi implementation, especially in the way patches are grouped or more accurately, not-grouped. But since I don't need it for my midi based studio and don't do sequencing on gigs currently I don't let that bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked out the specs on that one Greg, a real nice keyboard at a bargain price. I think the sounds would have a lot more quality than the ctk7000 and the hammer action keyboard would have a nice piano feel. What is the synthesiser engine in there and what does it sound like? I think the ctk7000 uses FM by the sounds of it. Anyway this one will keep me busy for quite a while and fits in my tiny studio, on-board my 40 foot paddle boat, where I play around with music along the Darling and Murray Rivers.
