i'm not looking for anything fancy or too high-grade like yours. I am in the market for a used keyboard to tinker around with. Well just in case you forgot, here's an image from that casio site the OP provided showing you how to operate the built-in floppy drive system.

I can't seem to get the image code working, so click this link for a picture:Īnd here's Casio's web page for the CTK-731:

If you want, I can meet you with the keyboard in Seoul or Suwon. I live in Icheon, an hour south of Seoul. It's one of the best keyboards I've played in its price range.ġ92 pre-programmed tones with 32 user-programmable tones and 8 drum setsĮffects: phaser, flanger, three different reverbs, organ simulator I've been very satisfied with this keyboard as a means to stay in practice while living here. The built-in reverbs give a lifelike sound to the piano voice. The touch response and sustain pedal allow for very expressive playing. I got this Keyboard in March, but I'm going home at the beginning of September, so it's time to sell it.

It is a pretty good all in one beginner production soundcard and will probably cover your needs for the foreseeable future."The Internet's Meeting Place for ESL/EFL Teachers from Around the World!"įAQ Search Memberlist Usergroups Register Something like this focusrite scarlet 2i4 has MIDI input/output, XLR with phantom power for professional vocal microphones, and an instrument input for guitar. If you do think you want a vocal mic or guitar you will need a production style external soundcard that has XLR input with phantom power and a Instrument/HiZ input. You might want to decide if you think you'll ever use a vocal microphone or a guitar. Delay is the amount of time the computer has to take to process your signal when you press it on the keyboard until it comes out the computer. A production quality soundcard will reduce 'delay'. You will at some point want a production quality soundcard and many of them come with MIDI I/O. Reaper - This one is better if you are working with recordings of vocal/guitar.Īs others have mentioned a MIDI to USB will work for this, but I thought I'd mention that if you start doing this fairly often you'll want to upgrade soon.

Renoise - This one is better if you are just doing MIDI Since I'm guessing that budget is a major factor I suggest you try some of of the ones that have very long/nearly unlimited demo versions plus the full version of the software is < $75 USD like: In addition to the MIDI I/O you will need some kind of Digital Audio Workstation.
