I'm not sure these have been posted before but here are a few new Style demos of the Casio WK-3700:

16 Beat Pop
Ambient
French Waltz
Jazz Combo
Soul Rock

Not bad in my opinion. Especially since the WK-3700 can be had for $349.00 at GC. And it has 76 keys no less.

If Casio would only give their Boards more polyphony and a more powerful onboard set of speakers. A 16 track Sequencer with more recording capacity would be nice also.

Some of the neat features it has is a Smart Media slot AND a Floppy Drive, Split and Layer function, 4Mb flash ROM, Registration memory (8x4 sets), SMF player(GM MIDI), Transpose and tuning function, Modulation AND Pitch bend wheel , Headphone, pedal, MIDI in/out AND line outs, Internal Speakers at 6Wx2 {I wish they were at least double that or better yet quadruple.. oh well maybe in the next model }, you can also run it using D Batteries if you don't have access to an AC power source, and it weighs only 22 lbs.

They keep improving with each subsequent model and if they ever decide to make another high end Arranger it could quite possibly turn out to be a Yamaha, Korg, and Roland killer. Especially if it has cutting edge features and sounds like the Big Three and the price is in the neighborhood of $1,500 to $2,000 instead of Yamaha, Roland, and Korg's $3,500 and up price category for their high end Arrangers.

GO CASIO!!

Not bad sounding styles at all considering the low price tag.
There a damn sight better than sommat I could mention

The sounds and styles in general sound excellent for that price. (In particular, the lead keyboard voice on 16-beat demo was especially impressive.) In the Yamaha realm I would guess that this keyboard's sounds and styles would be comparable to a PSR-550 more or less. Considering that the 550 is priced higher, it seems like a good deal in that aspect. Of course, sounds and styles are not the only measure of a keyboard's quality!

Mike,
where did you find those demos? They are EXACTLY the same (file name wise and composition-style wise) to the ones that they had published way back, in the WK-3000/3500 days.
I think they are the same demos, they don't reflect any improvements, or aditional styles.

Those aren't old demos... Those are without a doubt demos from the 3700. One thing Casio did with the 3700 is improve the drums, and being a former WK-3500 owner I can tell you the drums in these demos (are) an improvement over the 3500.

Wow, I was impressed. Not a G70 or T2 by any stretch, but with 76 keys and at that price point it seems like an excellent value. A real long shot from the Cassios I remember.

This post reminded me that I never demoed the WK3700. Looked through some old posts that were very favourable.

You can find demos of the 3700 here:

The style demos are decent, but I hate the "voice" demos on this site because these are excellent examples of "lazy" or "half-assed" demos. I say that because the voice were "all" recorded at the "same" velocity level. They show absolutely "no" expression at all.

I am taking back my comments.

I was confused because I had downloaded the same files when they were first out, in July 2005, so when I tried to download, windows prompted that I already had a file of the same name. After downloading the file under a different name, they sounded the same. Having in mind that they have introduced the 3800 line (at least on the web), I thought it was that.
Duh!!!!
