Casio PT-7



Well, it looks as though I'll be spending my winter break making synth videos, then. This one is of the frankly awesome Casio PT-7, an obscure toy synth with eight sounds, six rhythms, and a unique detachable foil keyboard that hooks onto the main unit for transport. The nice thing about this video is that it demonstrates every single function of the PT-7 in under 2 minutes. Try doing that with your Moog Voyager!

That is too cool. I've never seen one of those before. Thanks for posting it. I wonder when it came out and if it's full on analog. I wonder what's producing the core sound and if it can be modded with a few tiny knobs to control basics like filter, resonance pitch and the like.

Thanks. I'll have to check it out. I feel the need to hit a swap-meet and garage/tag sales again. : )

No white gloves? Demo's gotta have white gloves or oven mitts. Sheesh!

With the full polyphony I'd guess there's a top octave divider (or some other digitalness) hiding in there.....

Wow, that thing has ultra-bass! It's like a kid's version of an Arp 2600, painted white.
