Listen to some of the styles, there are 260 styles for accompaniment. High quality styles for use as factory present, or edit, or make your own styles from scratch.
Excellent job in putting this particular keyboard capabilities together! I am a gospel musician /director/minister and I currently possess the Casio CTX 5000. At one point I had a Korg Triton Workstation. The WK7600 is, for the money, by far the most intuitive, comprehensive, and manageable keyboard I have ever run across. And that is besides the fact that it sounds great too! The CTX 5000 came out just a few years ago, but I believe it doesn't have the capabilities the WK7600 has! This will be my latest addition to my repertoire! Your input has been very beneficial and a great influence in this decision!
Thank you. The CTX5000 has everything the 7600 has except...61 keys instead of 76 and no drawbar organ controls. I have never played one, so the keybed quality is always a big question. Same with the WK7600, make sure you physically audition the 7600 to make sure you get a good keybed.
The drawbar organ and 76 keys are a BIG deal to me. I just bought the WK 7600 for this reason alone, mainly for the drawbars. That was its big appeal. I'm an organ player. Nothing in its price range comes anywhere close to having real drawbars. You got to spend another $1,000 to get it, otherwise. Imitation Leslie? That's another $200 to $300, otherwise. My bottom keyboard is a Yamaha DGX 670, and the top keyboard on my OnStage double keyboard stand is the WK 7600. Casio gives you the "basic paint colors" as an artist (as you mentioned) so you can make the instrument uniquely your own.
@@WayneGerald1776 Maybe that is why the 7600 is still offered today after the 3000 and CTX5000 came out. Sounds like a great combo with 88 and 76, the Yamaha has a good acoustic piano sound. I owned the Yamaha Piagerro for a while and I think it is the same sample.
I Buy that WK-7600 about the SD Recording Feature, i absolutly don't understand why Casio give this featurenot to the new CT-X 5000 than i would have to buy the X-5000! That is stupid by Casio, it is not understand able. But the WK-7600 is amazing ... i like Rock/Metal ,,, and New Modern Music, i miss in the Tutorials the Guitar Sound of Distortion Guitars, no one show that. I got a QY-100 the Guitar Sound sucks in that Unit but is enough to Arrange Songs ...but the Unit is to small for all the Time, so i Buy that Casio WK-7600 i think and hope and belive the Guitars inside the Casio must be much better than inside the QY-100 ...! Sit here and watch any Video about the WK-7600 ...cant wait to get it!!! All the other Korg, Yamaha and Roland Workstations are very Expensive and have no features like the Casio ... i search for many Days to find the right Unit for me! It is the WK 7600!!!
@@funnzie Yes but must watch it again! I'm now working on that expirience ...i have rec a short Sequenz, ...but without FX !!?? Wanna add Distrotion with the DSP but for now i dont know how? With Ext Mixer i cant find the Option to do that? Strange? The Ext Mixer have 16 Tracks too, so i thougth the Track will be add there and the Volume Leds will be show'en there!? But not ...mmh?... So i rec a short Clean Part, througth my first Song Arrangement! That Work and will Playback in sync ...fine so the Basic Work!!! It was a pain to add the Rhythmen to my Arrangement....but it is so easy! Punsh in/out with 1 beat before with "Repeat" ...that all is clever and Work fast!!! But what i truly Miss is only ONE UNDO!!! I belive that feature is Not inside...or is it inside @funnzie !? That till now the one and only Feature i really Miss!!!!!!! That WK-7600 is for the money a stunning very good Maschine!
@@funnzie Sure it is available! I use it ...but it is Not enough for me ...for Blues it is ok maybe!? @funnzie Is it posible to make one step of "Undo", inside the WK-7600?
Hello. Your videos are great. Thanks for posting This keyboard has a lower function ?? (Sound in his left hand along with the Auto Accompaniment) The styles are cool, but the keyboards of all brands make the same mistake, do a very bad Samba, Samba has changed a lot, modernized long ago, several different beats, but they insist to this beat the decade of 1940/1950. (This whistle is ridiculous) The pagode is also very bad. Fortunately this keyboard allows a better samba beat. Sorry my bad English, I used google translator. Greetings from Brazil.
+JBaprendiz Lower function is the split. You can have 3 tones (sounds) playing simultaneously; two upper voices layered together and the split lower voice separated by the split from the layered tones. Since you can created your own styles, the styles included are not that important.
Добро пожаловать! Вы первый человек из России, с которым я разговаривал. Добро пожаловать, Эдгар. Приятно познакомиться. От одного музыканта к другому, пусть ваш новый год будет полон прекрасной музыки.
@@funnzie Эдгар красивое имя.Я рад бы музыкой заниматься,но столько работаю что времени совершенно нет.Но если дела наладятся возможно будет побольше времени. Я тоже рад знакомству, привет из северной столицы России города Санкт-Петербурга теплой Америке,если вы не на Аляске 😄
Can you set the Levels of every "Channel", or the "Instrument" in the "Accomp" Style-"Band"....If I would add some more Drum, or that Auto-Bass independently..? You know, any of those "channels" that play as the Parts, or the "Instruments", of the "Accomp" virtual Band..?
+mita bekrija Yes, a quick edit of style can be done in the mixer and saved as a user style preset. You can change levels, add reverb/chorus, turn on and off instrument parts, and more.
+mita bekrija Channel 1 and 2 is for the main voice and a layered voice. Chanel 3 is for the split layer. Channel 4 is for auto harmonize. Channel 5-7 are for the song sequencer, and channel 8 is for the metronome. Channels 9 through 16 are reserved for the style accompaniment.
Depends on how deep you want to control your music. Do you want to create your own styles from a blank program? Do you need to edit your sounds (instruments/patches/tones)? How critical are you of sound quality? How many keys do you need, the WK6600 is the only low priced 76key, all the others in this price range will be 61 keys, how important is the 76key, the Casio 6600 is most likely the worse sound quality. I only video keyboards I have owned and used extensively for years, so I can only guess on the keyboards I have never played but listened to on YT. If you answer my above questions I can suggest one for you, but better if you have a store with these in stock so you can listen and play them.
@@funnzie I'll take your suggestion as well! Korg Kross 2 fits my bill but is there a psr under 1K that has multiple tracks recording and some sound design? I'm more into synths than grand piano and flute sounds ...
The Yamaha PSR EW-425 ($489) has 76 keys and can record MIDI to 6 tracks 1-5 tracks are for your live playing and the 6th track is for the arranger. Once recorded to MIDI and saved on the EW-425, I would guess you can play back the MIDI file and record it to audio at CD quality resolution because this keyboard records stereo audio also. I am only guessing on this Yamaha, never played it, arranger keyboards can be extremely complex and I may need a few weeks just to discover what it can and can not do. The editing of the sounds looks to be limited to just what the knobs on the panel can do, very limited. If you want to record a synth that you have full control over with knob per function for easy sound design, and lots of voices for polyphony, then here is my suggestion: 1) Roland JX-08 synth. 2) Zoom R8 8 track multi-track audio recorder. 3) M-Audio full sized key controller in 61 or full 88 keys. Total cost for all three the same price as the Korg Kross. Then if you want to add 3000 drum sounds and orchestral sounds later add the Roland MC101 groove box for another $550. You will need one MIDI cable to connect the keyboard to the Roland synth.
