casio mt-65

[hippyjon]

anybody have any experience with a casio mt-65, theres 1 going in the back of my local paper for a tenner just wondered if it was worth it.

Well I modded a mt-55 and the only really decent bend i found was a detune thing.

Hi - I asked a similar question the other day and didn't get much of response so I am thinking if it does bend it isn't that spectacular.  I have a another full size casio keyboard that has the same arpeggios and chords, and most of the presets as mt-65 and I opened it and found lots of trimmer pots inside so it can be manipulated especially the analogue rhythm.  I also saw some info on the net for this full-size casio but it didn't look very spectacular.

The MT-65 however is a very collectable casio keyboard and the presets have a very warm and pleasant tone.  A tenner is a good price for this and you would find it very difficult not to at least double your money for it on eBay!  They sell somewhere beetween £20-50 but people sometimes bid stupid money for them as they do for VL-tones and speak and spells despite the fact the are other in better condition listed too.

I will try and dig out this full-size casio I have because it sounds so similar to the MT-65 and you can pick it up for a £5 as some people after the casio Mt-65 could make do with this untill they have another £50 free!

i've got a casio mt-100 and its bloody great cant bring myself to bend it tho as its far too nice to risk... its the one with the graphic equalizer built in to manipulate the preset sounds tone...

I own a MT-100 and used to own a MT-68.

I bent my MT-100 but properly, by just activating some hidden functions : http://www.jz-server.de/forum2/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?604.last
