List of Casio ROM Packs

The Casio ROM Pack system was a method of storing music information, rather like modern-day MIDI files, on small, interchangable “cassettes” which plugged into a Casio keyboard, a bit like you might plug in a Flash memory card today. As well as just listening to the music, ROM Pack keyboards had various training modes to teach you to play the tunes, most using flashing LEDs above each key to guide you - the precursor to the modern Key Lighting feature. As their name suggests, they were read-only – you could buy various ROM packs with various tunes pre-loaded, but you could not record your own data to the packs. Casio did have a writable equivalent – the “RAM Pack” – but it seems only a handful of keyboards supported the writable packs, and the packs themselves are extremely rare.

The following Casio keyboard models support ROM Packs: PT-40, PT-50, PT-55, PT-80, PT-82, PT-87, MT-18, MT-85, MT-86, MT-88, MT-800, MT-820, CT-810, CT-840 (This is not a complete list).

The most common ROM pack is the RO-551 – this seems to be the one Casio supplied with most of their ROM pack-compatible keyboards, so there are plenty of these around. Other ROM packs are actually quite scarce, and do not often appear on eBay, except when bundled with a keyboard.

Below is a partial list of Casio ROM Packs. Information in this list was obtained from a multitude of sources including auction listings and various Web sites, so is probably not completely accurate, and is almost certainly incomplete. In particular, the order of the song lists does not necessarily match the order in which the songs appear on the pack.

A special mention should go to CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler's keyboard site "WarrantyVoid", which is now available again at http://weltenschule.de/TableHooters/keyboardSoftware.html. A number of the song lists were sourced from here as well as some other pack details.

If you have any additions or corrections for the list, please tell me! Photographic evidence is always appreciated, as it is impossible to mis-type a photograph, so if you own a ROM pack that is not listed, take a piccy of it and send it to me!

Thanks to everyone who has sent me updates, corrections and pictures for this page to date! Hopefully all your input has now been incorporated, but if I have missed your contribution, please accept my apologies and feel free to send me a reminder.
