1985 Casio Catalogue uploaded... for the fans

1985 Casio Catalogue uploaded... for the fans

2005-07-02 by esynthesist

Maybe it's less useful than the CZ-1 Midi Specs, but it's nice stuff 
for the die-hard fans of Casio Musical Instruments.

You can find it on the CZ-VZ-Files group:
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/CZ-VZ-Files/files/CZ%20-%20DOCs/

And guess what... there's no copyright :-) 

(well, maybe I will also put back the CZ-1 midi specs someday)

It's a scan of the 1985 Casio Catalogue, with the CZ-1000 and CZ-101 
and other - sometimes strange - stuff (such as a keyboard with a built-
in radio & cassette recorder, pffff...)

Enjoy it,

///E-Synthesist

Amazing, all the casio keyboards of my dreams (except the SK series and a 
few earlier models) in one catalog, and almost no information about any of 
them..

that KX-101 thing is very rare, I saw one for sale on ebay once and it went 
for far too much money.  From the looks of the keyboard part it's probably 
just a PT-20 or something.

And is anyone else here drooling over the SYMPHONYTRON 8000?  I've seen the 
CT-8000 for sale before, and I think the auto-accompanyment thing to the 
left of the top keyboard, they actually look much less interesting when 
they're not assembled into a monsterous organ.

Indeed, there's not a lot of information in it. But it's a nice 
overview of some legacy stuff :-)
By the way, there's another "Casio catalogue of 1985" on the net:
http://oldschoolsound5.free.fr/manuels/catalogue_casio_zill.pdf

(in FRENCH)

They say it's from 1985, but it contains more recent synths and 
keyboards, including the FZ-1 and some... SK samplers. Yep, even my 
SK-200 is in it.

But again: almost no information, just some headlines of the specs.

CT-8000..... Symphonytron....

2005-07-03 by KW

hi all ...
 
i've seen the keyboard CT-8000 sold separatly on ebay about one year ago, i had no idea that it could be built into a stand with further functions, totally cool!!! i thought it was an modern CT-202 because it have an look like that.
 
thanx very much for the information esynthesist!!
 
my Casiotone's: CT-7000, CT-701, CT-405, CT-401, CT-201-(first ever casiotone), MT-520, MT-70, MT-68, MT-65, MT-52, MT-41-(2 items), MT-20, MT-11, PT-1, PT-20-(2 items), PT-22, VL-1, VL-5 and lots of other quite vintage keys of other manufactures, but maybe it's not of interest here at CZsynth.
 
maybe the largest casiotone collection in Stockholm/Sweden?, anyone like to compete with me in Sweden?  ;)
 
cheers fellas.....

The strange thing about the Symphonytron (apart from the nearly unpronounceable name) was that it didn't (as far as I know) use MIDI, but rather Casio's own communication bus system. By the way, I checked out the CT-8000 keyboard unit at the time as a possible replacement or addition to my CT-202. I ended up getting a CZ-101, but I remember the 8000 having some interesting sounds, including a nice detuned Honky-Tonk Piano.

That's strange, I don't have any problem downloading the second file.

The exact address is
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/QNPHQiXjR03vEKsSX48SEdc27-
D1dFW3Fo0CykWuz-
Rr9qz9sHHUreRAvaKcpzg1h3ZvcJqgf7RiPtVLwF3m5vWWeSSc_ulJJg/CZ%20-%
20DOCs/catalogue_2.pdf

One possibility is that the download limit of Yahoo was temporarily 
reached (in that case you received an error message).

There's a download limit for each group, it should work if you retry it in about 
24hours...

That's really cool! Thanks for adding that. Even in French it still 
is really rare. I've never seen one like that.
