Casio MT-540

German Version

This extraordinary PCM keyboard sounds very good in the first place and has astounding stereo effects. The quality is almost suitable for a studio. Moreover, 8 sound atmos are on board, which can be used as ambient noise when playing keyboard.The auto accompaniment sounds very much like the eighties and sometimes "over-arranged", but rather flexible. Inside, this device features a multichip architecture which can be manipulated in most different ways.

I've treated this keyboard to a 14 switch matrix, offering lots of possibilities.

I often use this one, so I've got 3 sound examples for you: the first one is pure MT-540, the others feature it as a basic intrument for my studio project Muttermahl.
