    I made a little album with the MT-400V, which you can listen to on Bandcamp: keenonkeys.bandcamp.com/album/casio-mt-400v

      Nice! I really enjoyed it. I own the CT-410 V. Love it

      Very cool. The drums from "analog dreams" are amazing! This should at least make it's way to the soundtrack of a indie pixel art videogame :)

    1. Never heard of it. 2. Watches video. 3. Must have it! 4. Finds two on Reverb for about $500. 5. Maybe “must” was a little strong.

      @JM Coulon It looks pre-Covid, they were going for under $200. I never thought 2019 would be the "good old days".

    Wow, this sure helps explain a lot of those things I wanted to know about - thank you ! :)
    Sure helps to know what those filter settings do !
    Some really swell demos, too !
    Thanks again. :)

    Finally i bought this holy grail once more (i used to have one a few years ago) and not for a bad price. Of course i would like the CT410v but i never saw one for sale for a reasonable price. Great vid as always.

  • @aligator9552
    @aligator9552 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    We played the heck out this keyboard back in the day!! I have several recording of it from 1984-85. If we could post photos here, I would share me playing it from that time period.

    A separate comment to praise your editing and preparation skills, Keen. Wonderful angles and tempo-keeping!
    And the soft pads to protect the background color paper are indeed a nice touch. ;)

    • @KeenOnKeys
      @KeenOnKeys  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thank you! I use these pads all the time, but usually try to keep them out of the shot.

    Such amazing sounds from this old keyboard. I would never have thought it would be so versatile.

  • @kaitlyn__L
    @kaitlyn__L 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Gosh, even before you did the proper demo, I could tell there was a lot more texture in your BGM!
    I suspect that Casio had a bunch of excess high-end analogue ICs/designs leftover, and since they knew they were moving to digital synthesis soon and probably couldn’t sell analogue to big spenders anymore, they probably included them in this keyboard to use up the inventory.
    Like, the various virtual patch cable options for where to route the filter, how to manipulate the filter, etc are all pretty dang impressive, even today in some regards (albeit of course modern instruments generally do it more or better). Also the chorus!
    As always, your little demo ditties are always a treat. A bunch of them reminded me of Game Boy, NES, or Mega Drive soundtrack melodies in lots of ways, probably just happened to be in the same key as them with similar tone textures :)
    Now I want to try to replicate some of these sounds on my big boy subtractive analogue synthesiser, heh. The CV synthesis definitely has an interesting texture all by itself.
    Lastly, much like your video on that surprisingly capable FM synthesis consumer keyboard, this is also one of the most accessible rundowns of analogue synth filter basics I’ve seen! Not too much technical terminology, not too little. I’m going to send this to some friends who have an interest in synthesis but tend to get lost in the jargon!

    • @KeenOnKeys
      @KeenOnKeys  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks a lot! I am planning to make an explanation video about subtractive synthesis in which I will certainly go into more detail.

    The flute has no right to be this good. Wow!

  • @volttema
    @volttema 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    The filter definitely adds a lot, those pads (especially the sweep one) sound like they're coming from Poly-800. No wonder almost all the classifieds market it as "analog".

    • @PolaroidsofthePyramids
      @PolaroidsofthePyramids 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree - it reminds me a lot of the Poly-800 as well.

    • @keyhoarder
      @keyhoarder 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Apart from the digital oscillator it's analog. Also this digital oscillator sounds more vintage-style analog than todays true analogs like korg minilogue or arturia microbrute / minibrute.

  • @Rompler_Rocco

    That "Wow" effect is just like what I say to myself the entire time watching Keen on Keys. What a beauty this one is! And each quirk explored to perfection 👌🙏

  • @whooligan1000
    @whooligan1000 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I have one of these. The waw effect on the filter is a lot of fun. Sadly I've neglected mine, it's a bit knackered and temperamental. But you've inspired me to give it a clean and some love. Cheers

  • @jeffroweb

  • @jackispax1633
    @jackispax1633 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great review! I've just spent some time with one rescued from a thrift store, the cutoff fader was corroded which also caused waw, attack, decay and sustain to not function. I have a temporary pot in place now until I find a proper replacement fader and I'm enjoying it very much.
    Anyone know where I can find a replacement fader?

  • @orangeflipflop485
    @orangeflipflop485 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Every synth needs a "Waw" on/off slider.

  • @DanChippendaleMusic
    @DanChippendaleMusic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This is the sort of thing I've probably passed in a second hand shop once or twice in my life and probably ignored but now I'd love to have one of these. Such a great retro sound. Great video. Cheers

  • @Max_Mustermann
    @Max_Mustermann 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    22:30 - is that the theme from Raumpatrouille Orion? I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place it at first.

    • @KeenOnKeys
      @KeenOnKeys  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, but only the melody. The chords are different.

  • @MattGreerMusic
    @MattGreerMusic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    That filter sounds really lovely. Better than I expected. The tracks on your album (which is great by the way) sound like old Air songs. Really really nice.
    It's interesting that Casio just brought back the "V" on the new CTS 1000V which I have waiting in the box as soon as I finish some of these other projects.

  • @FourthLast
    @FourthLast 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This is the second video I've ever watch about a synthesizer, the first being a video of yours on a newer Behringer synth and while I don't know much about anything you are talking about its so fascinating. I love that you cleaned and restored the case, keys and switches. It looks beautiful.

  • @nielsblume
    @nielsblume 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Recently bought one to go with many other keyboards of this era. Living out my boyhood memories again but this time with all the keyboards in my room at the same time instead of one at a time. Love these keyboard and the 400v is a particularly special one.

    So glad to see you back with another episode, Keen! =) The sound of this keyboard seems very similar to Casio SK-1 - famous for the music of Homestar Runner - but with so many additional filters, tools and instruments. Thank you for the truly extensive review: would've never gotten a chance to play it. Hello from Russia!
    I don't seem to see the new album on your Bandcamp / Soundcloud yet: hopefully this is just a glitch and I can send some your way very soon. =)

    • @KeenOnKeys

    • @imlxh7126
      @imlxh7126 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, the Bros Chaps used both an SK-1 and CT-405 (essentially a full-size MT-65), so that's probably why this keyboard sounds so familiar :P

    Casio sollte wirklich mal ein kleines MIDI-Rackmodul auf den Markt bringen, welches all diese alten "Tischhupen"-Analogsounds beinhaltet (inkl. Drums). Die Dinger würden sich wie "geschnitten Brot" verkaufen. Vorschlag für eine der zukünftigen Folgen: Bontempi ES bzw. AZ-Serie, Farfisa DK-Serie

    • @KeenOnKeys
      @KeenOnKeys  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ein Bontempi Model ist diese Jahr auf jeden Fall dabei.

  • @austinmillerrr

  • @CasioChaosTheory
    @CasioChaosTheory 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Excellent work, as always Mr. Keys! The MT400V, along with its identically featured but bigger packaged brother, the CT410V are immensely good fun. I love them!

    • @kenzieprice6745
      @kenzieprice6745 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since I have both of you experienced Casio owners here,
      Do either of you understand the mechanism of the BFC-1 filter control interface? I want to find a way to substitute the controller with either an alternative breath controller or a foot pedal that can be used as a seperate potentiometer somehow to allow filter sweeps and playing with two hands.
      I am wondering if Yamaha's BC2 Breath Controller will work...

    Greetings KOK,
    I loved this video as I love all your videos. I love all you music. Thanks for making it available on Bandcamp. I hope you do a review and make some music on the new Casiotone CT-S1000V. It has some old classic Casio tones in it and some very fun vocal synthesis functions as you may already be aware.

    The imperfections often seem to make these keyboards more interesting. Compared to all the modern analog and digital synths where they are just bugs which may or may not get fixed in firmware. Some could do with a Casio Imperfection Integer Chip.

  • @HarryLoveTV
    @HarryLoveTV 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Absolutely amazing, I'm so grateful for these extra thorough videos. These casiotone MT series have been a love of mine since borrowing a friend's similar one (it has "eq" rather than filter and is brown) Honestly the passion also goes back to childhood like for many of us. I've have (and adore) the MT65 which I find astounding as to how versatile and inspiring the small amount of seemingly comical patches are - but in combo with the funky reverb, sustain and vibrato can produce tones that I simply cannot find anywhere else. The 400V popped up today in my local music shop & this vid helped confirm that I was "trippin" when I didn't immediately grab it off the shelf haha. Getting it tomorrow for defo.... a question I have had for a while is what level of modification could be done if at all - eg could midi be added? Not talking "circuit bending" as that's not really ever pleasing to my ear
    thanks for this channel, it's nice to find other people also as enamoured by these little doo dars!

    @aaronhi50 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Got an MT-85 on eBay last year after binge-watching all of your videos, rekindling my interest in vintage keyboards. Later in the year I got a Casio CT-450 and Yamaha PSR-6 for insane deals. The MT-85 (which I can't really find much about online) is definitely one of my favorite keyboards/synths that I own, but it's so hard to not go out scouting an MT-400V, which I've just found out about!

    Great memories. My brother and I used to own one when we were teens. I do remember some of the rhythms and chords now. I loved to play with cutoff and resonance applied to the chord as it made accompaniments sound "modern" in the late 80s. The device didn't age well, taking moist in a basement after moving to a new house. I tried to repair the potentiometers but they were still making too loud cracks when touched. It was also possible to imitate the sound of a sea shore with noise+cutoff. Pretty simple and efficient. And the small keys were well suited to kids.

    Got mine for about £50 in 2010. I’ve used it on nearly every song I’ve recorded with my band since. Mine is very beat up compared to yours. I run it through some 80s pedals; distortion, chorus and delay make it even more flexible than it already is.

  • @setphaser

    Your review videos are SO perfect obsessed!! I’m actually struggling to choose one from MT45,MT65& 400v.. prefer the look of the first one, but wonder the sounds- does MT65 have all the sound presets of the 45?& did you mention it sounded brighter? And does 400v included most sounds from MT65? - I look for dreampop,shoegaze & lo-fi kind of sounds, etc love the pipe organ sound w sustain &vibrato in your MT45 video, and just wondering does the other two included the same sound/vibes to choose? Many thanks x

      @@juno6 I found the single oscillator and choice of waveforms really limiting. It was also tedious to program with an alpha dial and two buttons plus the parameter values were really coarse (1-32 for filter cutoff if I recall). The final thing was that mine at least would regularly scramble its memory - a nightmare for playing live!

      @@chriswareham the MT400v also have one oscillator. The HZ-600 is not super flexible, but it have a nice variety of waveforms, a Roland type filter, two fast envelopes, a cool chorus .. is like a Juno 60 but without the sliders. I have a huge collection of synths, mostly vintage analogue and digital synths and samplers.. but I always tend to go to my beloved HT-700. I have two of those, a 3000 and two 6000 (highly recommended) and the 600.

      @@juno6 If I can find one that's not being sold for crazy money then I'm tempted to buy it just to see if the young me didn't judge it too harshly. At the time I really wanted a synth with loads of sliders or knobs and I now have that covered with my much loved JX-3P and its PG-200 programmer.

      @@chriswareham the 600 is a compact little synth, which sounds beautifully (did you see the video?). But the 6000 is a 4 dco proposition, with independent filter per voice... Consider it too.
