- Meet my trusty keyboard! I'm mainly a bass & guitar player, but I like to twinkle the ebonies & ivories every now & then :) Here's a link to the manual for more in-depth instructions for all the different functions: www.manualslib...

🙏🏾 I'm an independent artist, which means that I'm not signed to a record label. I'm able to fund my music (mixing & mastering, equipment, registration & distribution fees, etc.) with support from generous friends like you. If you like what you hear or see, check out my merch store at www.shaylamcda... or download some music (name your price 🙂 at www.shaylamcda... ). 🤗❤️
💪🏾You've made it to the bottom! The only way from here is up 😉
Hello! I just picked up this keyboard from a Goodwill earlier this week and I'm so excited about it!! Would you be willing to make any tutorials about how to use its different features, like how you explained the transpose feature? I'm specifically really interested in how to adjust what a given instrument sounds like, but don't really understand attack-release, modulation, etc.
So glad you found one! I'm not as familiar with the other functions as I would like, but maybe I could do some deeper dives into some of the features I do know? Also, here's a link to the manual. Hope it helps! www.manualslib.com/manual/26203/Casio-Wk-3000.html
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel Thanks! I listened to some of your music too and enjoyed it! I have subscribed and will look forward to more of that or more info about your instruments in my feed.
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel I hope that you do decide to do some tutorials! I would enjoy having you elaborate on your own particular style of playing. When you were playing a bit it was fun and expressive!
@@Ishidee1 Thank you!
I found one in the dumpster, took it home cleaned it up, 2 battery springs rusted off, I dont have power adaptor to test, I set out to repair with flashlight springs, came on, no sounds. turns out volume board had 2 broken traces on the board, and volume pot welds were loose. quick wire bridge repair to ribbon cable and resolder welds...sweet sounds come out. BTW the screws that hold the large speakers are weak plastic, I used 4 nice globs of silicone on each speaker to secure to the frame. hopefully this may help someone who has problems like no sound.
You are so amazing! I wish I had the know-how to be able to do such awesome restorations & repairs! Thanks for sharing these tips @DJZofPCB !! How long have you been playing?
Thank you! I have the same keyboard and love it.
No problem! How long have you been playing?
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel for about 15 years composing and yourself?
@@dewaynemickens3179 Wow that's awesome! I've been writing music for about 8 years.
Cool keyboard
Thanks! Do you play? @Meek Rodriguez
I was going to get a WK-6600, but I have decided on a CT-X700, instead, since I want the AiX sounds.
Good choice!
I enjoyed your video! You have a lot of spunk. Please do share more of your own style. I like information that you were providing!
Thanks Delores, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video & the info!
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel Keep up the great work!
many are sleep on this board it has the ability to SYNCHRO in sync with your sequencer samples VIA midi POWERFUL.
So true!! Thanks for the sub!
Are you able to register master eq settings to memory, I can make the changes but no register...yes, these models are beasts especially when you add dsp and eq
@@josephkeck4752 This is a great question, but I'm not sure 😬 I use mine for recording MIDI into Logic on my computer & for basic practice/songwriting. Here's a link to the manual. I wish I could be of more help!! @t
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel thank you for your reply... you're really good, keep that wk 3000...all the best to you
Hey I have this same keyboard but mines is the Casio ctk 691 keyboard which I really love my keyboard 🎹
So cool!
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel yea
MIDI = Musical Instrument Digital Interface
How to sequence on it
thank U
no problem :)
I just started watching a video where I know it’s got excellent sounds I’m just anxious to see what you’re gonna be saying so put this in before I actually listen to the video I had for the first couple minutes so I’m listening to the rest.
Hi Jeffery! Sorry I didn't go into detail with the sounds! I mainly use the midi sounds I have in Logic on my computer, and just use the regular piano, electric/rhodes piano, or drums directly from the keyboard when I'm practicing or coming up with ideas. This is more of a "how I use the Casio" instead of a full review. Sorry about that!
Hi, Shayla! I just picked one of these up by the roadside(a wk-3200, actually). Had power supply and everything! We've been trying.to figure out how to use those keyed effects like you did at 1:18. Lol. Figured the rhythms, and some other stuff, and even w the digital pdf owners manual, I'm at a loss. Any help would be great. Thx bud, and great video!!!
That's awesome! To get to the keyed FX and other tones, hit the circle "tone" button on the right side of the display screen. Use the +/- keys on the number pad to scroll through the sounds, or type in the number of a sound listed on the keyboard. The drum kits are 500-515. I think I might have used 505 in the video. I hope this helps!
Hey! So we just got my Papas keyboard just like this. We can't seem to figure out how to get the sound to work. The screen is showing keys being pressed. Do you have any tips? He can't remember but said he thinks there is a button to switch the speakers on.
I don't think there's a button to switch the speakers on for this model, but have you tried turning the volume knob on the left side clockwise as far as it will go?
Hello.Who uses such a synthesizer, please write.
Hi! Thanks for the vid! Are the keys weighted at all? Trying to figure out if that’s a necessity for someone who’s just starting to learn.
Hi Meghan! The keys are not weighted. I don't think weighted keys are necessary for people starting out. I really like having keys that aren't weighted because I can play faster and it seems like my fingers don't get as tired. I'm mainly a guitarist, but it seems like weighted or not is more of a personal preference & makes an electronic keyboard feel more like an acoustic one.
As a pianist of 44 years, this board is necessary regardless of skill level, a beginner can use this keyboard and a professional can use this keyboard, this board can do the exact same things boards that cost two and three times more can do, this isn't a board that you by now and outgrow later, it's got all the tools you need to be the best musician you can possibly be
Please, teach me how to use that keyboard. I have one but no idea how to create music with it.
Hi Iris! I connect to my computer using a midi to USB cable like this one: www.amazon.com/FORE-Interface-Converter-Adapter-Laptop/dp/B0719V8MX1/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=midi+to+usb&qid=1613403147&sr=8-5 The programs on my computer that I use the keyboard with are Logic and Garageband, though any digital audio workspace (DAW) should be able to handle midi. I don't know much about creating music directly on the keyboard besides changing tones & playing default beats, but here's a link to the user manual: www.manualslib.com/manual/26203/Casio-Wk-3000.html I hope this helps!
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel Thanks for responding. I will try those links. Have a blessed day.
@@iriscorea3194 I hope this helps. Take care :)
Is this one better or worse than Yamaha M88? I think about buying one of them on the used market, but i'm not sure witch should i choose.
I've never played the M88 before and I don't know too much about it. What will you mainly use the piano for - practice, recording, live gigs, or all the above?
I'll learn on it at home for now
@@di44ito I'm mainly a bass & guitar player, but I'd recommend any keyboard with built in speakers, a headphone jack, and sounds that you like. Beyond that, it's just a matter of personal preference & budget. I know that's super broad, but I hope it helps!
Saw one at Guitar Center the same day I saw a GearFacts review it.
It was nice, they wanted $189. I almost bit. The piano was warm and resonant, and I like that you can edit sounds and has a synthesiser mode. Plus the build quality is fairly rugged for an old home keyboard. It's a keeper.
Pls let me know
Hi Maguerite! Thanks for tuning in! I don't know how to sequence using only the keyboard, I usually connect it to my computer and use Logic to record the piano. This is an older model that was made around 2002-2003. But here's a link to the manual online, and you can type "Sequencer" in the search bar and it will show you which pages have sequencer instructions. I hope this helps! www.manualslib.com/manual/26203/Casio-Wk-3000.html
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel ok you're welcome
@@ShaylaRMcDaniel I have one I dnt know how to do the record
@@magueritenicolas9053 I have a midi to USB cable that I plug into my computer like this one: www.amazon.com/dp/B07SFCLNZ5/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_dEP8Fb1YQ3E4B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
