All raw audio from the SA-76 recorded directly from its line-out sockets into a Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD sound interface, and then directly into a DAW (Mixcraft Pro Studio 9). No VSTs/ effects were used on the SA-76 raw audio, other than a Limiter to prevent any clipping.

I like the attitude in reviewing this keyboard without prejudices for its price tag. Instruments can be inspiring for many reasons; I wish you many more hours of good music with your SA-76 :)

Oh my Gosh I love this! Thank you for this channel! I found a Casio SA-77 laying outside next to the street while out on a walk one day. I figured would just let it be for a kid or someone else to pick up. But some 6-8 hours later it was still there and getting lightly rained on. So I took it home, and let it dry out 2 days before putting batteries into it, and it works beautifully!

Thank you for the wonderful review. Very informative and interesting
-
Nice in depth review as I am still getting familiar with my casio s 76. Very helpful. Hope you can give us more tutorials on the beginners. More subscribers to come

I just ordered this today. Thank you for this awesome in depth video. Anxious to continue with the next three! Do you ever feature other brands? I recently bought the Yamaha PSS - F30 and was so impressed with it's capabilities as well. I am brand new to learning keyboards and find each of these to be a fun place to begin. I am a senior and music is what saved my sanity over the last couple of years. Happily subscribed! 🎹🎶

very nice review,keep up the goodwork

Got one by chance... what a little gem indeed... thank you

I got the SA-77 recently. I found it cheaply in a shop that sells used item's. I played a bit on a Hammond organ in the 80's. But after my parents sold it (it was my father's) I haven't touched any keyboard ever since. Playing on the SA-77 make me realize how much fun it actually was. I might get something bigger in the future (a digital piano perhaps). But for now, I just have fun with this.

I use mine in my production all the time, esp now in conjunction with my SP404 MK2. With the right FX processing you can really get some awesome sounds out of this thing
-
Wow! 😎👍 You Sir are the best proof ever, that it's NOT about the tool, but always about the craftsman!🤴
-
Excellent job!
-
Now I know what that MT-40 Riddim step sequence in my XW-P1 is all about!
-
I doubt if this was the review I searched for until you change to the casio SA76 magicaly
-
Is there a way to use the metronome without melody in the background?
-
This keyboard is so adorable lol - I’m only sad it doesn’t come with a music sheet holder - Any chance you know if that accessory is available for purchase separately??
-
Please make a break-down video on how you created the complete Intro Music using only SA76...
-
I want to learn on the go would it be good for that
-
Is it has sustain effect?
-
Can you do Gonna Fly Now with that trumpet sound of that casio?
-
Sooooo? This little Casio has Bhangra, Adani, Baladi and other actual nice beats from the Middle East? And has actual Indian TABLA drum sounds! If I should find one of these in a thrift store(that we DO have up North lol), I shall buy it!
