MAN! HOT DAMN! That is alot of work lol! But you got the advert down! My hat off to you sir! Btw, the Organ sound of the M10 is the same as pipe organ on the MT65 and others. Funny you bought an M10 because of a band, where as I buy my Casio keyboards like that because of my childhood experiences with them and thus want them back to bring back those great Child hood moments and because they sound like I like.
No doubt there are similarities, though bear in mind that the MT65 uses an NEC D931C LSI chip, which may well contain some differences to the M10's D773G LSI. As demonstrated in the M10 and CT201 comparison section of the video, despite both keyboards using Casio's Consonant Vowel sound generation (and both released in 1980), their equivalent Tones sound quite different at times. Likely Casio continuously evolved these LSI chips for later models, and might well have tweaked some of the Tones along the way. Another example is that my 1983 CT403 has some definite Tone similarities to the earlier models, but many are not identical. As for my reasons for purchasing the M10, I already had a large collection of Casios so didn't really have a need for a limited four tone model, but my curiosity as to where the Human League used it in Dare! got the better of me. Plus, I couldn't afford any of the other gear that they used to make Dare! (other than the VL-1, which I've owned since 1982). Synths such as the JP-4 and System 700 now cost a fortune! And I too started collecting Casios because I remembered them fondly from when I was growing up too. So many of my peers started out with Casios, and every kid interested in dabbling with a keyboard nearly always ended up getting one for Xmas or birthdays. As mentioned above, I've owned by VL-1 since 1982, and also my CZ101 since 1990, so I have stayed connected to the Casios of my youth. Then in the late 00's, I awoke a new interest in them and started collecting many of the models that I remembered from my youth, and many that were mentioned in places such as the Table Hooters and circuit bending websites. That sent me down quite the rabbit hole of discovering many weird and wonderful Casio/ Casiotone keyboards, and my collection grew exponentially from there. Luckily I started collecting at the time when Casio prices were at giveaway/ thrift store levels, as many of the models I own now fetch many times more than what I paid for them. And it was having this large collection that sparked the idea to make a TH-cam channel, and here we are!
@@CasioChaosTheory Well said my friend! I still collect the casios and yamahas from the fleamarkets in Florida when I come down and visit my mum. Sadly up north there are NOT many good ones where people sell used stuff cheap. Kudos on your collecting and youtube series! I look forward to more! And I have subbed to your channel.
