Oh, so much information, so little time and money. Thank you for the links. Still considering the 7500 with all its shortco
Question: Do to 7000/7500 have multiple intro/fills/endings? If so, how many? Can they be **easily** modified? If not, which comparable brands/models do have a variety of intros/fills/endings??
For every rhythm (pattern/style) 1 x intro, 1 x normal, 1 x normal fill, 1 x variation, 1 x variation fill, 1 x ending
This is pretty standard for the yamaha's and comparable keyboards.
Modifiying them is (for me anyway) a pain.
I find the Casio's difference between "normal" and "variation" and very great, and the fill in's not very dramatic compared to my old Yamaha.
Also, my old yamaha had discrete buttons for fill-in's - the Casio does not.
So it is hard to trigger the fill in for the variation without being "in" the variation (hard to explain in words - you'll get it if you try to trigger the 2nd fill in while playing the main rhythm.
The Y-man
So today I traveled to another store and spent some time with a WK-6500 (this store did not have a CTK-7000 on display. I really like having 76 keys vs. 61 on the 7000. I think for me, having those extra keys will matter.
I also played with the 16 channel sequencer and was able to figure out how to record different sounds on different tracks. Lots of fun and nearly endless possibilities there. I'm not sure if you can punch into and out of an already recorded track to make changes. If you can, I didn't see how during my visit.
I started playing with the on board mixer but couldn't figure out how to do much.
I think I'll download the user's manual for the 7500 (the 7600 does not seem to available in the US) and see what else I can learn.
So now I think I am leaning toward the 6500 or 7500. My birthday is in April so I'll be deciding on my present very soon.
