This is an incredible demo! It feels less like a product review/guide and more like a legitimate piece of educational media. I may have to get one of these bad boys
That cosmic flute sounds awesome! This keyboard sounds really awesome! I could totally see using this as a portable organ of sorts. Edit: I just realized how much I used the word "awesome" xD
Bah-rill-iant! . Seems to have some rather haunting, somber sounds. Very eclectic bit of kit there! Thank you so much for doing these - they seem almost essential now for those of us out here in the wild looking to find and reclaim some of these anachronistic bits of the past. Well, for me they do!
I love this video, I bout a mint condition MT-70 off of Ebay a while ago and it is am amazing instrument to play. You really make the MT-70 come alive in this video
My mom bought me one of these recently from an old lady who passed away and I've been having so much fun with it. Unfortunately it didn't have the power supply, so I'm running it on batteries, but it's been lasting quite long on them so I can't complain too much..
If you haven't already, you can buy a power supply, just make sure its the right DC voltage (they make universal with changeable voltage) and make sure the tip size is correct (the universals also have changeable tips). I believe in the video he showed it needed 7.5 V. If your supply doesn't have that exact value, try the lowest which is closest and then the next one up if that doesn't work. Typically batteries are 1.5V each so you can use this for reference for the # of batteries you use. If you have any questions feel free to reply.
Thanks for mentioning the 1000p. A shockingly underrated synth that works great alongside organ and string sounds, lends itself to live performance, and pairs wonderfully with delay effects; it would be exciting to see a review of this if you have one.
My grandfather has a MT-70, I remember playing with it when I visited them during the holidays. If I recall correctly, this was the second keyboard I put my hands on, the first being a Casio SA-38 PCM-based keyboard. I rembember thinking it sounded kinda weird, as I had never heard anything like it before. Never really touched the memory stuff as I kept myself sufficiently entertained playing with the chords. Never knew about the barcode reader!
Dude, I am really loving your entire video style here! If you would ever be interested, I would love to know your opinion and what you could do with the CASIO CT-S300.
Thanks for the video! The Casio MT-70 was my first keyboard and entry into electronic music. I spent many hours scanning music books with that barcode reader. Great memories indeed!
Would love to have this guy in my band! Also to see what he could do with a Moog! Don’t know if he has done a video on one? Not sure if he’d have time as he’s probably so busy reading project manuals to do such superb and in depth reviews on consumer keyboards.
Could you do a series like you did on the VL-1 for the SK-1? I know it's well known but I want to know the secrets of it's synthesizer, and there's some wacky stuff you can do with the sampling so you could get at least three videos out of it.
I friend of mine used to have one of these, while I had the MT-68. Even though the MT-68 had broader timbral and rhythmic options, I always thought that the MT-70 had the best organ sounds between the keyboards from that time. And it also looked really nice.
Amazing review and production. Subscribed instantly. Well done! You presented everything in a clear, concise and professional manner. I owned one of these but never liked the sounds. It was more of a novelty toy, but fun anyway!
I just picked one of these up. What awesome, organic and unusual sounds out of an old keyboard they're all but giving away now. All the sounds are pretty useful in one respect or another.
If anyone wants to see a live performance featuring this instrument, Laraaji (the New Age/ambient artist who once collabed with Eno on "Ambient 3: Day of Radiance") used this instrument and its drum patterns on a vocal track called "All Of A Sudden".

It sounded so wonderful....i want it now in 2020. I'm getting the casiotone lk s250, i wish they still looked like this instead of the ugly rounded black plastic.
Great video as usual! You think you'll ever do the Alesis Quadrasynth from 93-94? I picked one up for under $100 and I'm loving it. Thought it would be cool to hear your thoughts on it. Keep up the vids, they're awesome.
Have owned one since early 80's, i agree with all you say about it. The vibrato is very light on my MT70, do you know how it could be adjusted? I have used it in recordings and on stage with amplification and the slight 'toy-town' timbre of the voices disappears in those situations. a very endearing keyboard....
@@KeenOnKeys , Here's why i asked, the vib on your MT70 is heavier than on mine. On my MT70 it's almost not noticeable until you play a chord. A third MT70 belonging to a friends father seems to have the vib set somewhere between the two....
@@fuccasound3897 I used to have an MT-70 (regret selling it now and am looking to get another soon). One thing I did notice was that the vibrato sounded more intense / heavier when it was set to delayed. Other than that I wouldn't know if it can be changed or not.
@@PianoandKeysStudio i agree with you about the vibrato. As for changing it, i suppose i was imagining there may be a potentiometer on a circuit board somewhere inside it?....
Most of the keyboards are kind of stowed away right now. Not a nice look behind the scenes at the moment. But maybe one day I'll get it a little better organized.
