great stuff. to me, it's like you were presented with a set of limitations-the limited sounds of the SK-1-and made it into something really great with Acid without having to workaround it by bending it. not that there's anything wrong with bending stuff; some of it is actually kind of good, but a lot of it is sort of annoying.
Here here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with you, I can't stand Circuit Bending myself, this video shows creativity, It shows that you can be creative with anything without making drastic changes. All you need here is the SK-1 in question, a computer with the right software and you're good to go. I'm not a musician so I really have no right to talk.
Now this is definitive proof that you don't need anything fancy to make amazing music. If someone can make an SK-1 sound like a million bucks, its all a testament to the user, and not the instrument you use.
I understand the internal speaker in the SK-1 is monoraural, but do you get stereo sound when you use headpnones? I suspect you don't but I thought I'd ask. Once again, I really like what you've done here.
the SK-1 was my first real keyboard. Followed by a CZ-101, then a Korg DW-6000, then an Ensoniq Mirage, Ensoniq EPS-16, Oberheim Matrix 1000, Roland JX-8P, Moog Opus 3, Korg Poly-6...The best was still the SK-1.
Thank you very much. My SK-1 is not modified. It's just a multi track recording using some actual software. You can download the track in stereo from my website.
Now if only I could get my SK-5 to sound this good. Nice work.

This track is really fantastic! Too bad that Casio stopped building instruments like the SK-1 or the CZ series.

Nice to see you didn't bend the hell out of it and kept it simple. Sometimes that's the best way to go. Great job on this song, I love it.
