Keep in mind that 35 years ago, arranger keyboards were in their infancy and Casio pretty much had the market cornered. While their individual sounds/voices were just awful, their style files were pretty darned good. It only took a year or two before Yamaha, Korg and Roland jumped into the market and Casio rapidly took a back seat to more realistic sounding sounds/voices produced by other manufacturers. To my knowledge, Yamaha is the only manufacturer that also produces other instruments, and seems to have cornered a lot of those markets.

I think the reason why you hear resemblance between this video and old Casio’s is that this particular style of music does involve similar short patterns of a rhythm, simple fills, monophonic lead voice and funny attitude. I had Casio MA-120 and that keyboard was indeed good for this way of playing. But it is just a specific kind of music. It is in fact well played and voices are just fine, including drums.

But I must say that when it comes to demos I am myself very influenced by the music itself, so in case when I don’t like some playing or some tune I may subconsciously decide that I just don’t like the sound - well, music is an influential thing, otherwise what would be a point of it.

John my hearing is excellent,.....except for the Martin Marris studio produced Sx900 demos and a few other top stores, etc, most others fall short sound wise, but there are many reasons for that...
I hope to hear some good things once the Sx900 arrives in the states and SZers can review honestly what they think...take care

It's the style that we don't understand and also the bad external recording, I am sure it's a god arranger although I am 100 percent KORG FAN smile
