MT-600
Mini Accompaniment Keyboard
|
A cool little accompaniment keyboard. Some surprisingly good synthy tones, and a pitch-bend wheel, which is rare for an older accompaniment keyboard (the range is fixed at +- one tone). |
|
|
Classic late 1980s tones in glorious PCM, and even a mini-sequencer/recorder on board. The usual Casio accompaniment section, stereo speakers, MIDI in and out. Check out what it sounds like: |
