bigtforreal"I want to get a CASIO WK3700, i keep hearing how nice it is

I just got the Casio WK3700 and it is awesome in a lot of ways- the organ sounds on it are fantastic, and the key action is similar to an organ- the keys are touch-senstive but they are not weighted. I like that about it. Plus you can't beat the price. The piano sounds are just okay. Some of the strings patches sound really real...plus it has the "Leslie" wheel that you can use for vibrato and stuff...it's a lot of fun.
The church has a nice Kawai ES1, only about 8 different sounds on it, but the key touch is really nice for piano, and I think it sounds great. Of course some people only like a "real" piano...but get real... l like to know I'm in tune.

That's good to know, because I'm about 85% sure I will get a Casio WK3500 or Casio 3700 now.

I'm not a professional or advanced player, nor do I make music, so if
CASIO came up like everybody say it has, I'm going to get it. I plan to go to the stores and try it soon.

Just 85%!?

If you're not buying a Roland Fantom, a Triton or Motif you gotta have a Casio...

If I can get a nice Yamaha for cheap s90 or a roland, I would get it before a CASIO. However, you can't beat paying $250 dollars on that CASIO WK 3200 (or at least what I"m hearing).

One musician told me that the Phantom has a better quality of sound than the Motif...is that true? In you all's opinion which is the better workstation keyboard.

Hey guyys... my gear is as follows:

Roland XP-80
Triton Le 76
Motif ES 7
Motif Rack

ShadowPhace,

You are going to get a million of opinions to your questions. Truth be told,
I got a great deal on the phantom (its not the extreme version) and For the amount of production that I actually do, its way more than what I need. As far as Roland is considered, I liked the "feel" of the keyboard. I wanted something with a real piano feel to it and the roland keys are a little heavier than some of the others (like yamaha or motif) which is what I wanted ( and why I bought the rd700). I mean the patches that I use most often (there can't be more than

were present on all models so I started looking at other factors.

Same thing for the phantom. From a sequencing standpoint, the features that I use the most were present on all models so I went with price (and like I said I got a great deal on the phantom 76).

I have a crappy yamaha that only cost about $150. BUT, I'm about to step my game up big time and get either the Fantom X or the Triton Extreme. As far as he great Fantom/Motif Debate goes, It is too close to call. They both have sounds that are VERY similar. Both are great for producing and things like that so i guess it comes down to the feel that you want. he only real reason that i am going with Roland an Korg is because I hate the fact that amaha has that vertical pitch bend on the left.

hi i am looking for a keyboard for a young and growing church that has no professional musicians. I was surfing the web and i came across Yamaha PSR 3000,2100 and the Tyros, I like them the only problem is they have 61 keys and am looking for keyboard with more keys, the main thing i want is keyboard that has mic input and harmonizer. please help.I have also wanted to know what voice musicians use when playing gospel music .i have a Yamaha PSR225GM and the closest i can get to that voice is DX E.P so for all you great musicians out there help a young upcoming musician and it will be greatly appreciated

yes.. I have a grand Casio k60.. yep! learning all I can.. I will get a better keyboard later... would taking a keyboard class at a college to educate me more .. or is it a waste of time. I am trying to learn from manual.. and what does a midi do or what is it used for?

My "vintage stuff" is nice:

Hammond C3 w/ 2 Leslies
Fender Rhodes 73
Hohner Clavinet
Moog Synthesizer (it's a smaller version than the Mini-Moog but the same sound!)

My my "newer stuff" is pretty old and unimpressive:

Roland XP-10
Alesis QS7

I dont like the Alesis, and I'd sell it, except I dont think I'd get enough for it to be satisfied. I still use the XP-10 for any church gig that doesnt provide an organ or keyboard, and/or for any gig there isnt a bass player. I have some nice bass patches programmed.

I have a Roland Fantom X8. Amazing keyboard. All of the patches are great except for the organ patches.

What is wrong with the Phantom's organ pitches that you don't like? Is it that it does not reflect a real organ sound? I was thinking about getting Phantom X8 after I graduate from college.

ShadowPhace · « **Reply #38 on:** January 19, 2006, 03:38:17 PM »

bigtforreal,

I hope to step my game up too. I want buy either a Phantom or Motif(ES6 or ES8), but that will all happen in the future after college. Not to hate on Motif players, but I leaning towards the Phantom because of the feeling. Does anyone know any Phantom dealers or how I could purchase a Phantom?

May God bless your talent and use it for the glory of the Lord.

Man, I love the Phantom, I just wasn't paying more than a G for a keyboard. Motif is nice though, I love the Phantom a little more, I guess because it's more user friendly, and I'm into making hiphop beats, so I think the PHantom is "IT" when it comes to making hip hop sounds.
