CASIO WK1800 is not a TOY...until the right arranger comes along !!! - 10/27/02 12:49 AM
This keybd is nothing to sneer about. CASIO is usually associated with this sounds, bad rhythms with the exception of MZ-2000 but NOT this one.
The sounds are acceptable for live use. The pianos are actually better sounding than Yamaha PSR1000 which costs twice.
The ryhtms are not bad also.
Any comments GOOD or BAD about this WK-1800 ?
Is there a manual I can download ?
I will probably buy this while waiting for a pro arranger that has the basic things that I need. Current offering seems to lack on one or more of the ESSENTIALS such as:
-Acceptable key feel: Yamaha PSR1000 is NOT acceptable but KORG PA series is ok.
-Intuitive access to important functions used a lot for live use. Yamaha PSR1000/2000 has excellent layout of buttons. KORG PA is unintuitive and the worst that I've seen.
-Pro quality sounds such as piano, bass, string, sax and brass.
-Minimum 8 instant registration memory buttons
-Weigh less than 30 lbs
-61 keys but 76 is even better
-Cost less than $1500
