  • Part of a series showing all the songs I can arrange for this keyboard: a Casio Casiotone MT-400V. I have gigged with this keyboard for it's novelty value, cheesy sounds, and to prove what can be achieved musically with such limiting equipment.
    All sounds and effects are generated entirely by the MT-400V.
    This is a uniquely versatile keyboard in the world of 80's Casio keyboard. Although equipped with the standard 20 presets of Casio Consonant Vowel synthesis, this mini keyboard has an analogue low-pass filter, ADSR envelope, stereo chorus, reverb, and vibrato, allowing for infinite variations. The drum section is fully analogue, but with only 12 different beats to choose from. It also lasts about a year of near daily jamming and the occasional gig from it's 6 C-cell batteries! I have never run it from mains.

    This is the perfect song to demo this keyboard.

    Just another proof that talent is something which doesn't come with fancy, expensive keyboard.
    Fantastic performance :)

      Thanks so much! It took years of training though!

    This was the first keyboard i ever bought on a fleamarket about 25 years ago. Had so much fun with this little gem. This brings back some sweet memories!

  • @boudjemaacotchima8250

    Very nice music thank you very much

    Along with bigger brother CT-410V they are the one of the best sounding Casios. I gave it to my friend as a present.

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před 2 lety +2

      The CT-410V is the same but with bigger keys and built in speakers. Great fun, thanks for watching.

    • @althejazzman

      Thanks so much. It's all possible with some imagination and button pressing.

    I had this very keyboard when I was in my teenage years! An learned to play this piece and many other Jean-Michel Jarre pieces on this keyboard. I learned to play most of OMD too. Great stuff!

    I also did axel F on it from harold faltenmayer and many other stuff. Nice performance. Now i have still my casio CZ-5000 Korg poly 61, Yamaha Motif ES7, Ensoniq ASR-10, rhodes 780, and many other keyboards... This is nostalgy for me. Thanks for this vid.

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před 10 lety +2

      I think that's what I was aiming for. A bit of silly nostalgia on a mostly inappropriate synth! Good collection Marc. I hope you are continuing to write and play lots.

  • @PolaroidsofthePyramids

    Great job on a great song! This is one my favorites of the old Casios.

    When I was 10 I used to play a similar keyboard. It was a Casiotone MT100 and I miss it a lot.

  • @markdavidson7928
    @markdavidson7928 Před 6 lety +3

    This is the best casio mt by a mile and you show us why. I had a near immaculate model, and in a moment of financial desperation regretfully sold it. Wish I'd attempted to recreate some Jarre; it works really well. Lovely gentle filter. Nice performance by the way.

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před 6 lety +1

      They're fairly easy to find still, and they don't tend to break unless they're abused. This one only cost me £50!

    @adastra123 Před 6 lety +1

    Very impressive . I used to mutitrack on a casio mt68 using two tape recorders and homemade leads. I greatly admire people who can push technology beyond its normal limits such as you. Well done you are really brilliant.

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před 6 lety +1

      Thanks! I once unscrewed the erase head from my tape deck so that I could record layers over the same tape. It sounded awful but it was fun.

    • @adastra123
      @adastra123 Před 6 lety

      I used to cut the tracks between the motor on a tape recorder and put a variable resistor in between and vary the pitch of unusual sounds and to try and get that JMJ effect of swirling white noise. I dont know where those recordings are now. I love your idea of unscrewing the erase head , thats so clever , dang I wish I had thought of that. It was JMJ that got me into the whole keyboard , synth and unusual sounds thing and its great to meet a fellow JMJ fan of the era. Your playing is very neat and the sounds are well picked , god only knows what you would be like on a professional set up . Made my day watching your video .

  • @RetroPlus
    @RetroPlus Před 5 lety

    That's incredible, I really want one now after buying the Casio MT-55 which is an earlier version of this.

    • @althejazzman

      The tone options on this are far broader than normal for a toy Casio!

    @4estral Před rokem

    Amazing feat for such a simple keyboard. If you can do a redux with phaser and reverb pedal effects it would make it so much better!

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před rokem +2

      Good idea but it's supposed to show what can be done using only the Casio.

  • @kumbah2006
    @kumbah2006 Před 4 měsíci

    I had a smallish Casio something like this, but without the synth part.
    Wouldn't it be cool if you could "talk" them into programming your demo into one of these?
    Quite the fun thing to play on - and an awesome performance ! :)
    My "career" started on one of these ...

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před 4 měsíci

      There is no demo even on these! I guess memory was too expensive. Thanks for your compliments though.

    Thanks Stuart

      Yes that would be an honour, but please link me to your project as I would like to see it, and where I can see my mention. If you go to my About Me on my channel you can find my email address. Many thanks!

  • @manuelalejandroorqueravald6511

    Ese teclado es de la década de mediados de los 70, si no me equivoco. Me gusta la sobriedad con la que Casio fabricaba los teclados. Ya en los años '90 en adelante, Casio fabricó teclados con feos diseños, con parlantes exagerados.

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman  Před 4 lety +1

      I believe this is from 1984, as is my CZ-101 which makes similar sounds, but with many more editing options.
