Published on 05/20/12 at 23:05The CasioTone 405 from Casio is a 49 key analog keyboard that can take 2 different inputs (foot switch and a sustain pedal). It also has an out put for your headphone jack. Since its analog and its an older keyboard from Casio there really wasn’t too many sounds that came with it, I think no more than 25 or 30 and the effects where very basic and there was only 3 of them or so. Mainly the same effects that come with all of them, so reverb and a few filters.
UTILIZATION
If you have a basic understand of the way Keyboards work you wont need to read instructions you can just sit and play. When the Casio Tone 405 first came out it was like a great thing from Casio they where proud of this board and us musicians couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. At the time it was a very good board to have and im glad to say that I used it several times many years ago.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, I have no regrets with the Casio Tone 405 by Casio. There isn’t too much you can do with this board but one thing I know for sure its pretty cool . Its all analog so if you like those old analog sounds then it will fit your perfectly. The only question is can you still find one of these or find someone who is actually selling it?. That will be the hard part, most people wont sell the one they own. I know im not, even though I never use it anymore and its collecting dust it could still be used one day down the road! The Casio Tone 405 even has an arpegiator on it so you can arp your sounds in a few different ways. Pretty cool for a board that’s old and analog!
