I just bought this used 4 20$ myself. The key is amplification and effects. I only need it to accompany my guitar music. Making music on a tight budget!!! I got a vox valtronnix amp that has effects for 90 bux used... The only expensive thing I own is a telecaster guitar. Everything else is BUDGET
This is an awesome video, Is this also possible with a Ammoon Pockrock? if you have that effects too, can you make a video with it? hope this series will be more than 4 parts...
Thank you for the kind words! I've never used an Ammoon Pockrock so I can't say how it would compare with the Behringer V-Amp used in my video. Looking at the Pockrock's specifications, it only lists a 1/4" mono output, so though the effects it has are similar to those in the V-Amp, they appear to output in mono only. One of the most dramatic changes you can hear by using the V-Amp with the SA-76 is that the effects applied are in stereo, which makes a big difference to the SA-76's mono audio. If stereo isn't needed, the Pockrock may suffice. The reason that I'm doing this SA-76 review series in four parts is that I should be able to cover all its features in depth in that number of episodes. There are lots of other Casios and other keyboards I also want to review, so I need to move on at some point to be able to make videos of other models too!
Do you mean "Porta" recording studios, like a simple multitrack recorder? If so, then yes, it can certainly be a useful little keyboard as it has a good range of tones and they sound pretty good for such an inexpensive keyboard. Its drawbacks are its small keys, no sustain button and also no MIDI. However, for quickly jotting down some musical ideas it's a handy little keyboard to have near by. If you check out my "Harold F." track, you'll be able to hear what an SA-76 and a basic multitrack recording software package (Audacity) is capable of. :-)
my Yamaha PSS A-50 is far better! Dynamic keys, nice piano, few tones (40) but more useful. Only limit: 37 keys. For me is the best portable (less than 60 centimeters long) keyboard. But I love also this one (I have the SA-78) despite sound is not so good as with Yamaha.
@@lunariansmith2417 I have both. PSS-A50 is a great keyboard, with a different price, and surely a better overall quality. But it has a limit: only 37 keys. Insufficient for classic music, even fot the baroque period. So I hope in a new PSS version with sensitive keys and 4 full octaves like the old Casiotone MT series. My preferred keyboard ever remains the wonderful MT-65.
@Carts & Trolley - I've not had a chance to spend much time with a Yamaha F30, but one thing to bear in mind that it is in a different price class to the SA-76. When I originally put my video together, the F30 RRP was nearly double the price of the SA-76, so if budget is a concern then the Casio is the better bargain. Prices have since come down for the F30 model, but it is still more expensive than the SA-76 but only has slightly more features. I encourage you to try both of them at a store to make your own decision, and also check out part 2 of 4 of my SA-76 review where I specifically covered the SA-76's tones (some of them sound excellent). Additionally, if you check out my "Harold F" music video, you will hear an entire song recorded using only the sounds of the SA-76. For its price point, the SA-76 really is a super little keyboard (and much better looking than the F30!) If you have a bigger budget, then I would recommend the A-50 over both the SA-76 and F-30, though it is much more expensive and it's really a totally different class of keyboard.
Long overdue, but it is in the works! I have to redo the price comparison segment as since I first started putting the video together, Yamaha and others have subsequently changed their prices making the comparisons obsolete. I'm aiming to have it redone and edited for a September release. Apologies for taking so long to get it done!
Thanks for the interest! Embarrassingly, after all this time I've yet to finish editing all the footage for Part 4. It always seemed to get pushed down the "To Do" list... Though it will mostly be just covering the last few odds and ends of the SA-76, I really do need to get down and finish it. Thank you for nudging me!
@@CasioChaosTheory You have done fabulous work in Part 1 to 3 ...!! Thank you so much! I recently bought SA76 and came across your video series. Thank God! I can understand the delay in Part 4 as you make very detailed videos. Please take your own time. I will be waiting. I would love to learn how to use 5 drum buttons on SA76 and how can we use them as an accompaniment. Also, if you could make a tutorial video on how did you compose the intro music piece just using SA76.
The strings and flange sound like Rick Wright on MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON
I'm buying one of these

Please make a break-down video on how you created the complete Intro Music using only SA76...
cool !
Thank you!
Is this keyboard any good for home poto recording studios?

I am a beginner
How is the sound quality of SA76?
Which one is better Casio SA76 or Yamaha F30?
Considering all overall features and sound.
Pls reply

Casio is worst even sustain effect, they didnt provide If my country has yamaha pss a50 I would buy yamaha instead. Honestly stay away from casio

@@davidetambuchi5722 actually casiotone CT series still okay but SA76 I see no benefit from it even percussion pad they still delay :)
