Casio Island! (Casio MT-400v Keyboard Demo)

When I was 14, back in the 80s, I got my first electronic keyboard- a Casio MT-100. I made lots of rudimentary dual cassette deck overdub recordings with it, little sketches of tunes that usually were never developed. I lent my MT-100 to Cindy Lee Berryhill years ago and never got it back, but recently I bought a Casio MT-400v at a garage sale. It has all the same sounds/functions as the MT-100, plus a much needed analog filter section!

This is a new recording of one of my original Casio tunes called "Casio Island" with my MT-400v. I didn't use the analog filter here, because I never had it on the MT-100 back in the day, and I wanted this version to be as close to the original as possible, just with better recording technology.

Recently I used this Casio in a live cover version of Yaz's "Nobody's Diary" with Marie Haddad singing. We just finished making a proper recording of it, again using only the Casio, though I used the computer to cheat alot! You can hear it at http://www.myspace.com/mariehaddad (5th song down).

You can hear the original version of Casio Island in all its tape-hissy glory here:
