| The Casio CPS7000 is a digital (sampled) piano. I've seen pictures of
one but never heard it. It has MIDI in/out, has a couple of extra
sound (electric piano, organ, etc.) and a primitive sequencer/song
memory.
I have seen them sold, by mail, in the $7-800 range.

Okay that answers some of my questions, I have a chance to pick
one up for $300 and wanted to know if, 1. That was a good price,
2. If it would interface with my Casio CT670, and if it will if
it would add any value to what I have.
I am pretty new to the world of Comm/music but have played
piano/keyboards for about fifteen years. I'm trying to see what
equipment I need to get to get serious. Any help would be very greatly
appreciated.

| RE: .2
I think I ran across literature for the 7000 when I was doing my hunt a
couple of years ago. I think there may even be a note on it somewhere.
If I remember correctly, the CT670 is not touch (velocity) sensitive. The
7000 must be. That alone would cause me to be very interested in it for a
$300 price. [I find touch sensitivity the single most important factor
differentiating keyboards when using percussive type instruments, such a
piano. That is the main reason I sold my CT630.]
The only reson I am not saying "grab it immediately" is that in the two
years since I picked up my HT6000 used at Daddy's for 1/3 the list price,
more and more great units have become available cheap. So your options
are now pretty good if you're willing to hunt.
On the other hand, if the 7000 fulfills your needs (and you don't need
lots of patches and programmability, etc. etc.), go for it.
