Equipment Information
As being one of the synthesizers in my collection, here follows some music production equipment information about its capability.
Overview
The Casio CT-6000 (from the mid-80s) was a flagship 61-key, 8-voice polyphonic keyboard with synth-action, velocity/aftertouch keys, MIDI I/O, pitch bend, and built-in speakers, offering 20 preset tones, auto-accompaniment, and an array of effects, aiming for a semi-professional feel with its digital sound engine. As one cannot edit sounds, it is by definition not a synthesizer, still it has some nice vintage sounds!
