Casio AT3 61-Key Oriental/Middle Eastern Keyboard
Have an amusing experience with oriental music: The AT-3 Oriental Keyboard offers its keyboard users a range of options for generating authentic sounds, using illustrations of key oriental devices. The modification of the integral sound source can be easily changed using the quarter tones, especially to restructure the scale required for Oriental music. The Oriental scale can be used in cooperation for composing as well as live performances. The ultimate scale setting can also be applied to the Auto Accompaniments as well.
The Song Sequencer provides nearly 16 tracks plus one system track that supports recording of nearly five songs and a total of just about 30,000 notes. Every single musical instrument can be recorded to a different track, especially for real multi-track recording capabilities. In addition to the real-time recording of keyboard and the Auto Accompaniment player, the Song Sequencer also supports punch-in and punch-out of the spot recording of specific parts of a song. The event editing is beneficial as it lets you edit recorded data note-by-note. Also, the range of editing tools includes the event insert, event copy, quantize, event delete, a locator feature for selecting the range of notes to be edited, and others. A step by step recording function also lets you input notes by specifying the length as well as pitch. The completed recordings can be converted to SMF or (Standard MIDI File) format and stored in an SD memory card.
