"Very underrated synth. Very similar sound to CZ synths BUT with analogue filters/VCA/Chorus and crunchy drum machine. [Update: Note the HT-700 used SD Synthesis while the CZ used Phase Distortion similar to Yamaha's FM synthesis] Boxed, as new condition with plastic over the screen:

Analogue filters
Analogue VCAs
Analogue Chorus
Sampled 8-bit drum sounds that resemble the legendary Casio RZ-1 drum machine
Fully programmable drum machine
3 part multitimbral (full control over midi plus from the keyboard)
Same as the HT-3000 but mini keys

Below videos are not mine (and AWFUL audio quality) but they do show what sounds are capable with a few simple mods... Here is a sound demo from the actual synth that is for sale: http://punkdisco.co.uk/misc/misc/audio/demo.mp3"

Modified Casio HT-700

"I modified my Casio HT-700 minikeyboard. This is the programmable version of the MT-600.

It has two onboard analog filters, one for the main voice and another for the chord voice. I never liked the chord stuff, but the programmable bass voice was quite usable, so I routed that through the chord filter and got rid of the chord channel.

I added CF & res controls for the filters, as well as triangle LFOs, a simple EG for the bass voice, and octave-dropped the bass voice. You can also route the drums through the bass filter, and I added a modification that defeats the annoying AutoPowerOff "feature" of these keyboards.

Since the drums and bass are programmable in two-bar loops, this thing is now a nice little groovebox, over which you can play melodies.

NEW!!! If you'd like instructions for these mods, you can find them at:
