Dan Deacon

According to the following sources, Deacon used a Casiotone MT-400V in the 2000s. It had belonged to his friend Nick, with whom he traded another keyboard for it.

Lyndy Brannen: There's nothing really new in here, I mean this Casiotone, how long have you been carrying this thing around?

Dan Deacon: Um, I gue–, well, it was my friend Nick's, who I grew up with and he's had it since he was, you know, as long as he can remember and I traded it for a different keyboard but, it's a beautiful beast, I really love it.

Casiotone MT-400V

I really like my Wavetek 180 signal generator. It's really been the most fun thing, but I guess it's only fun through other pedals. As a stand alone instrument you can't do that much with it, since it's just one droning square wave. But that paired up with the Line6 delay pedal has been my favorite piece in the world. But I guess…a nice Casiotone is always an endless mammoth of sound that can be fun. Especially the MT-400V, which is the one that I've been using for the longest and that's my favorite piece of gear that I have.

And if anyone has the filter, microphone adapter, I would love to trade something for it. I don't have it. Anyone? Please?
