Strange because the same item was flagged as sold for £19.99 the other day..

For those in the UK interested in owning one of these Casios, I've just found two that have come up on Ebay:
CT6000:
And a CT6500 has also turned up:
I am not linked to either of these sales. Just thought it might be of interest for those in this groups interested in owning one of these retro Casios :-)

The 1000P came to market after the Consonent/Vowel synths. I too have a huge number of Casio synths - as below:CT202 C/V

I have a 1000P amongst my collection, and the CT6000 sounds nothing like it! The 1000P has a very warm sound with some surprisingly deep bass available. It is good for organ type sounds, but that's about it. Apparently, using just sine waves to generate sounds/ tones, these are very hard to use to make any real changes to the overall timbre of the sound. Probably why Casio quickly gave up on this idea and moved to the Consonant Vowel engine as used in most of their lower end models from the early 80's until PCM engines took over. As mentioned above, the CT6000 was released in late 1984 immediately before Phase Distortion came in on the higher spec 'pro' CZ models in 1985. With the pitch bend wheel, midi and bell like 'digital sounds' (that FM and PD synthesis were famously good at generating) it sounds and behaves much more like a CZ than a 1000P.On 30 September 2013 13:16, D T <sneakyflute@...> wrote:Didn't Casio also have some sine-wave based engine on the 1000P and 701 (and probably others)? Could it have that technology instead?
