Any help from anyone - this Casio HT-700 keyboard got donated to us, and I am currently trying to connect this to use with Reason 4. I have a Midi In/Out to USB cable but the computer doesn't recognize it as a musical keyboard? Any ideas?

I was given the HT-700 by my neighbor who was throwing it out. It kind of collected dust until recently, when I started picking up keyboard. This thing is pretty decent, and has a lot of tweaking options (although kind of a hassle to get through with the scroll wheel.) I have yet to figure out how to store settings, as I don't have the manual anymore. Although kind of cheesy at first, I run the sounds through (of all things) a guitar effects pedal and I can get some pretty new synth sounds. My favorite is the "Jazz Organ" with a little bit of EQ tweaking and some reverb/delay.

This little synth is a real surprise. It sounds nothing like a DX7 as some have suggested. It is more analogue in its design and structure and is capable of much warmth from its DCOs. It is also nothing like the CZ series. It uses the SD system, whatever that means. The build is fantastic. You can develop sounds using conventional parameters. The number od editing parameters is surprisingly comprehensive. It's all there. 2 Envelopes, a resonant filter, LFO with delay and much more. The drum machine and chord stuff is unnecessary and leads people into believing that it's a home keyboard. It is a proper synth and it has built in speakers and is battery powered..like the wasp and cs-01. I have only ever seen one and I bought it. It is a really useful keyboard..great for people short of space and working on a budget.

Definately a sweet piece. I used to have a yamaha keytar, but I broke it a few years ago... I bought my 700 at an antique store for 20 bucks. I have a little mixer and roland amp at home. Very easy to set up.
I only wish I had a ram card.
