You know, I take alot of flack for the Casio sythesizers so I thought it might be a good thing to explain my position. Here it is... Nostalgia, affordability and accessibility.
When I was a little kid. I didn't sit around dreaming of buying a Jupiter 8 or an OB-12. My dream was to buy a Casio PL5 with the barcode reader. I used to see it in the department store display case and dream about all the great music that I could make with it. My grandmother (R.I.P.) took notice and eventually bought me one for my birthday.
I've got to think that there are millions of people throughout the world just like me. I will be forever thankful to the Casio company for figuring out a way to make electronic instruments affordable to all of the poor dreamers out there.
As I grew older, I graduated to more expensive instruments made by the "pro" brands. Most of those instruments have died on me but my Casio's are still running just fine.
Here's to all the kids out there, throughout the world who are making their dreams happen on a Casio synthesizer. May your instrument serve you well.
