You guys are getting too excited over this....

This is not the WOW!!! factor that the MZ2000 had at the time...This is a WK series..and it is just a few clicks above the WK500..

Sure it has some nice "buzz " word features...but when you take a close look at them....they are so..so..

As Ian said the Casio is the line to compete with the lower Yamaha lines..and Casio will do well against them..as always..

Look at the detriments:
The WK7500 does not have lyric read..let alone chord read..

It has 16 track sequencer (Kudos), but too menu driven to interest most folks..

Many of the features are too menu driven..

The display is Dot Matrix type (probably why lyric read is not used...}.

The key feel will most likely be like the WK500 (about the same feel as the Yamaha YPG series)..

The audio files are proprietary..and need to be converted via software to use on the keyboard...and the screen display and search will be poor..


The Yamaha PSRs910, Roland Prelude and Korg PA 500 owners will not be interested in this board as a replacement..All three of these models will be superior to the Casio..

I would expect the Casio WK7500 to have a street price of $500...so they will sell to first time buyers etc..

The previous Casios had limitations on media cards (255 seq's max)..I did not see this info, and it can read 32g cards,,so maybe that limitation is gone..or it could still be a limit on SMF's, and no limit to the audio (special format) files..

Still may be a nice buy, but the excitement I think is over done..
