Didn't know the story. Thanx for telling, man! Actually I admit I've been tending to think Casio keyboards were rubbish for the last 15 years, but now I finally know what happened with them. I was too young, back then, to understand this Casio/Yamaha thing, and by the time I started playing everybody would recommend the DX7-style synthesizers.
Dude, you shredded the hell outta that. Use to rock the Roland running through a guitar DSP SFX rack with distortion, guitar on keys is addictive. Amazing vid.
Casio was making really cool keyboards in the 80's, the whole CZ series, FZ-1, VZ-1, and of course the AZ-1. But just like with Atari, people dissed Casio as a toy manufacturer and the revenus from pro market were too low for Casio, so they had to abandon pro keyboards. Too bad. The VZ-1 was probably more powerful than the DX7, but the DX7 had Yamaha logo on it, and it sold for $2000, whereas a brand new VZ-1 was $420 at Sam Ash. Anyway, what's with the paint job? I prefer the white CASIO
u r awesome!

White available! LOL
Did you customize this finish by yourself? It sure looks more metal-esque!
Excellent playing btw.

This is so great! I've been doing this kind of thing with a KX5 remote controller, a CZ-101 and a Korg Pandora PX2, but without your skillz :)
