Casio PT-1 | How Does it Sound?

Casio had an amazing ability to make sounds that sound nothing like the instruments they are supposed to

Once you hit that drum beat at 4:31 I literally teared up! I have been searching for this little keyboard forever! Many, MANY hours spent annoying my parents with a red Casio PT-1, but never knew the brand or model until today. oh, nostalgia!

Takes me back to classic NES! Sweet playing!

I had one of these in grey as a child! Thought it was a toy at the time, and now I'm sad my mother threw it out.

Nice! Would love to hear this through a Lo-Fi Junky and some Strymon pedals!

Here those sounds are surprisingly usable 👍

Had one of these when I was really young back in the 80’s. It was hours of fun. Little did I know that I’d be using much bigger synths as an adult. I appreciate the trip down nostalgia lane.

Powerful nostalgia. I had one ofthese when I was a wee lad. I liked music so my grandparents got me one 30 years ago. I showed no musical aptitude at the time. I wonder what happened to it? Each one of those sounds, especially the drum machine, takes me back to when I was like 5. Damn!

My sister and I had one of these in 1986 or 1987. To get us through piano lessons until we were able to get a real keyboard. Ours was white with pink and light green buttons. Later on I remembered the rhythm "Rock 1" being the same thing I heard on the Trio song Da Da Da.

I found one of these in my grandfather's house after he died. I think it belonged to my uncle at some point. But there's no telling how many years, if not decades it had spent in a dresser without being touched. As simple as it is, I still love it and it felt good to breathe new life into it. I'm 34 btw, just two years older than this thing lol. Getting old sucks.

@1:09 I thought I was gonna hear the Zelda forest tune lol

Yes! She’s back with another video! ❤️

Sweet video ! Definitely getting one

I have the pink one. It's still good for its ability to accurately recreate Da Da Da by Trio. Haha. I remember saving my nickels and dimes as a kid to buy it. It was maybe $35USD at the time. Thanks for the demo.

Okay. This brings adorability to another level. Jade Wii bustin' out major cuteness! Awww🤓

Man. I like you more all the time. You have good taste. I have a basement full of Casio consumer synths. My wife keeps telling me I'm never going to use all of them an I should get rid of them! Ha! She's insane. They are my goto for my polyphonic needs. Jut run them through the modular or some effects. I have come up with good stuff on the PT-1... sitting on the couch, as you say. Get yourself an SK-1. I'd send you one, but I'm running low. I only have two right now. I always pick them up when I see them at thrift stores, so I can give them away. It's the one with there built in sampler, and it's awesome. And of course the CZ series is wonderful.

i have one of these from goodwill & a muppet babies casio synth with the same sounds, buttons, & number of keys 🎹 my fav sound is the flute.

Love this. My parents bought me this exact keyboard in black. Around 1986. Now getting obsessed with Casio again and just bought a CT-S500 and will soon buy the smallest new Casio. These instruments are special and amazing and fun.

Just found one for 20$ at an antique store in rural Georgia. So much fun.
