Casio PT-30 Japan 1983
Vintage instrument in very good condition.
Ideal for circuit bending and collectors.
The Casio PT-30 was released in 1983. It is a 31-key, monophonic mini-keyboard from the early "PT" family of instruments.
The instrument has only a monophonic main voice with warm sounding 4-channel chords, but it features 18 nice rhythms made from semi-analogue percussion with quite special sounding white noise cymbals. There is also a well useable editable sequencer. Thanks to partially different waveforms, separate bass channel and more analogue post-processing, the PT-30 is IMO the best sounding keyboard of the early PT-series.
Main features:
- 31 mini keys
- 12 key buttons + 9 select buttons for direct selectable single finger chords
- built-in speaker
- monophonic main voice
- 4 note polyphonic chords
- 8 OBS preset sounds {piano, harpsichord, organ, violin, flute, horn, fantasy, mellow}.
- 18 preset rhythms {waltz, ballad, swing, enka, 16 beat, rock 1..3, disco 1..2, bossa- nova, samba, arp. 1..6} made of analogue percussion + bass & piano accompaniment (partly with arpeggio).
- tempo +/- buttons
- 3 sliders for main, chord & rhythm volume
- sequencer (with edit features, 8 song memories, battery backed-up)
- 2 "one key play" buttons
- transpose buttons
- LCD display shows pressed keys and chords
- semi- analogue monophonic sound generator similar like VL-1; the digital envelopes (with audible zipper noise) are linear and thus sounds unrealistic because they fade silent too soon.
- simple analogue percussion with transistor noise
- chord sound with fixed timbre
- expansion cartridge slot at the bottom (for cassette saving module)
- tuning trimmer
- sound output & power supply jack

Inkluder batterier.
