When I bought mine, it came with an instruction dvd for learning musical notes and playing piano,...I haven't fully used it yet but now that I am semi retired, I plan on learning musical note finally, knew some music when I was a kid in school taking guitar. I like the organ sound on this model, it would be cool to play the bac toccata. I had even purchased later a casio sa77 to see if there is a difference, ...I believe there is only a slight difference in several built in tunes. I have a larger casio keyboard I bought used I can progress on later.
Yes it has a 1/8 output that you can amplify. The signal is pretty decent in terms of volume, but I am not sure how good would it sound with an effect pedal
@n k why not? It won't be touch sensitive like a piano (same volume if pressed gently or aggressively) but you can still learn the fundamentals of intervalic and over all music theory and have fun while doing so.
You can buy it but I would recommend going for a 61 key keyboard. This can be a fun one to start on but if you do like playing you are going to need to replace it
I guess you pretty much answered this, but I'll ask just to make sure. I'm a guitar player with no keyboard experience. What I want to do is learn some simple phrases etc. to add to multitrack recordings (a stand-alone Tascam, no computer involved). Would this be good for that? I'm guessing I'd need a 3.5mm to 1/4-inch cord to plug it into the recorder. I've been looking at keyboards and this seems a reasonable price point, as I have no experience and just want to add a few things. This seems to fit the bill. Your thoughts? Thank you.
Hi, I think the sound of this keyboard might be too “cheap” to make recording with it, it’s a decent starting keyboard for a complete beginner but if you are looking yo record it I would suggest a Yamaha e373. It’s a substantial price difference but the sound quality will be worth it. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions
