A friend of mine had one when we were younger (5th grade or so). And I remember sitting around and playing it for hours. It was fun to change the sounds and what not. He also had an SK-5 (spoiled?). But it was the HT700 that made me jealous. I miss it. If anyone is selling, I am willing to buy. Let me know.

I had this keyboard more than 5 times and now as an avid collector,am hurting for one...again!It does have some cheezy sounds and rhythms but the custom drum/chord and sound synth made it a great music tool for my budding interest in multitracking at a cheep price.The display sucks so I always retrofit a backlite so I can see in the dark.I am looking in my town of jacksonville florida but cant find one yet.please email me if any one has one for sale or wants a pentium 200mmx computer for it.

If loving this synth is wrong, I don't wanna be right. I just used it on some sessions for my band's second album! I just wish I could find RAM cards (nobody ever seems to have any luck finding these things - it makes you wonder if they really existed in the first place!!!)

eburda007 is bang on. The info on the main page is a bit wrong - the HT700 has 3 oscs which resond to 3 different midi channels, for instance - and the outputs aren't that noisy, esp if you have a good gate and you turn the internal chorus off.
Cut a long story short, you can go from beeps to fat solid basslines, howling resonant lines (just add a distortion pedal) to plain warm analog strings. For best results use some external fx and run the thing off MIDI.
Forget the presets in general and get programming - only downside is that the waveforms exhibit a bit of sampling artefacts, and the noise on the outputs (probably about -40dB or so), and the way no param data is sent by midi.
Oh, and the keys have a habit of falling off. And drums are the usual 4bit rubbish. But the rest of it is cool.
