Sound Army<br />
Casio’s WK-7500 keyboard puts an army of sounds at players’ fingertips.<br />
The 76-key instrument comes loaded with 800 tones that range<br />
from vintage pianos to a Chinese erhu. The WK-7500 also has 250<br />
preset rhythms, including rock, Latin, jazz and classical. Plus, it has a<br />
17-track sequencer that can save song files to an SDHC card or as an<br />
audio recording. Casio’s free Data Manager 6.0 software can convert<br />
those songs into a WAV file for burning onto a CD. More info: casio.com<br />
