Critic Reviews

Casio Casiotone 701 – SynthMania

synthmania.com

The Casio Casiotone 701 is a nostalgic throwback to the early '80s, boasting a unique bar code feature for song playback and a variety of analog sounds. However, its limited polyphony and basic MIDI capabilities may deter modern musicians looking for more versatility. While it shines in charm and simplicity, it lacks the depth of contemporary keyboards, making it a niche choice for those seeking vintage flair over advanced functionality.
