Critic Reviews

Casiotone MT-70 (EMM Nov 82)

muzines.co.uk

Casio's Casiotone MT-70 is a portable mini-keyboard that's more about learning and entertainment than sheer performance. Its modern design and versatile memory, capable of programming through a unique barcode system, make it stand out. While it offers a variety of sounds, including new settings like 'Synth Bells' and 'Cosmic Flute,' some tones like 'Funky' lack depth. The rhythm section is average, highlighting the MT-70's role as an educational tool with features like the 'melody guide.' The instrument's basic sound quality remains unchanged from earlier Casio models, limiting its appeal as a serious performance instrument. Overall, it’s a functional piece for beginners or casual users but won't satisfy seasoned performers.
