Here's my Casio WK-500 76-Key Keyboard review - Comes with workstation like features

Casio WK-500 76-Key Keyboard

Got myself a Casio WK-500 76-Key Keyboard recently and here is a review of my workstation keyboard.

It comes with a nice palette of sound and rhythms. You get 670 high-quality voices, 200 styles (comes with a Rhythm Editor), auto-accompaniment, and 48-note polyphony for playing complex arrangements.

Other features on the Casio WK-500 76-Key Keyboard include 15 digital effects, auto harmonizer, 200 presets, arpeggiator (90 types), song expansion, and an SD card slot for song storage. You also get a pitch-bend wheel for added control.

When it comes to recording, the built-in sequencer will let you record up to max 5 songs, each made up of 6 tracks.

Other recording related features on this Casio keyboard include a USB MIDI interface, line & mic inputs, and sampling feature that allows for 10 seconds of sampling.

The built-in speakers are good, though I am using a Behringer keyboard amp for hearing the sounds from my Casio WK-500 76-Key Keyboard and I am really loving it.

I have had this keyboard for a few months now but its only recently I've started using the pitch bend of my wk-500. While bending the notes down it works fine but while bending it up it makes a weird clicking sound. Is that usual?

I love this keyboard and it completely beats any Yamaha keyboard. The wk-500 also has a scale changer which is a great improvement for a Casio keyboard.

This keyboard is all about value. Where do you get 76 keys for such a price? I know there would be people who would say the sound is okay and all those things but just look at what you are getting for around 250 bucks.
