[alexriesenbeck]

@TheWoozybear Check eBay! $25-$100

[wickedexp]

My uncle has it. Asked him that it looks like a toy & he gigs with it. Said it is a toy but does more than a toy. haha

[alexriesenbeck]

@wickedexp I gig with it as well, its a great on-the-go lo-fi sampler

[chucku00]

De La Soul is not dead !

[alexriesenbeck]

@chucku00 true

[theonelinerkid]

could you do sampling drum and bass beats?

[alexriesenbeck]

@theonelinerkid sure thing, anything you can sample...

[Gmancrap]

I cracked up when I read this.  Thanks man.

[Gmancrap]

You can't sample drum n bass if it's the gabber model ;)

[alexriesenbeck]

@Gmancrap i'm not sure what that means haha, good luck dude

[LIGHTRONIX]

Squarepusher uses on of these.

[alexriesenbeck]

@Casilofi check this stuff out

[AnthonyDavid94]

With the pads it's like a mini MPC lol

[coyotewess]

how do you send a sample from your computer to the sk5? im buying the wire but i cant seem to find the exact one in need

[alexriesenbeck]

@coyotewess Plug a 1/8" male-to-male stereo or mono audio patch cable from your computer headphone output into the line in jack on the Casio

[SavannaSteel2008]

Great video, great keyboard. I just got one of these off eBay and it's fab, a great fun keyboard with some real musical possibilities. I've also got lots of pro-keys, but these sort of fun 80s keybaords are the best for messing around on. Thanks for sharing the Casio lurve!

[Andy1644]

I want one!

[TacooGrill]

dude, you rock at finger drumming!

[alexriesenbeck]

@TacooGrill its so easy with the SK pads, tankya

[carlosangon]

very good tutorial, covered all my questions.

[alexriesenbeck]

@carlosangon thanks, glad you enjoyed it. hope you have one of your own

[carlosangon]

@alexriesenbeck as a matter of fact, i do. my DAD found one at a Yard sale for a really cheap price.

[alexriesenbeck]

@carlosangon yes!

[yerzmyey]

Dude, you rock. SK-5 too. I must come back to the machine. spaszaki.republika.pl

[ILFZ2]

I'll be one of the old school new generation. Using old organs like yamaha to bring them up to their real values;)

These old school tools rock.

[skeptikulo]

Very usefull... O.o

[alexriesenbeck]

thanks, i'm glad!

[TheBrickthunder]

i have one of these, and im very puzzled as to how to use my voice to make sounds on the keyboard. could someone please tell me?

[alexriesenbeck]

Select a sample bank by pressing a corresponding gray sample key, then press the yellow Sample button. Speak into the mic or start your line source and you have a sample.

[Rhythmicons]

I used to have one of those and boy do I miss it. This dumbass pulled the cord out and it never worked again. A new power supply would have solved the problem but I remember sampling so many belches and farts and oh man.

Those were the days!

Got that for christmas along with Indiana Jones and the temple of doom for the Commodore 128. My sister got the SK1 the same year. I awoke to find that my father was jamming on it after "Santa" left it. hahahaha

[ShaunFriedman]

amazing. I have a different SK-8 at home. It's probably the main reason I'm still producing now. My parents got it for me when I was like 8 years old. I remember sampling my voice going "wooooooooop" in a deep tone, looping it, and playing it on a high Key. (sounds like an alarm going off)

[mantara32]

The SK-8A is an arabic keyboard and is extremely rare. It has instrument presets from the Middle East as well as an extra slider to select between western and arabic musical scales as well as flat and sharp tuning.

[alexriesenbeck]

it also contains some different, interesting rhythms.

[mantara32]

Arabic keyboards are quite common with Casio, but the SK-8A is extremely hard to find now. One third of all Casio keyboards have been released in Arabic format and the SK-8A is one of the most sought after.

[mantara32]

The SK-60 is rare and unique, for sure... but it's also the ugliest of the SK family. Casio had quite a few models in it's range. There was the SK-1, SK-2, SK-5, SK-8, SK-8A, SK-10, SK-60, SK-100, SK-200, SK-2100, EP-30, DM-100, and finally the PT-280... all models that could sample. This list is far from exhaustive because Casio also had professional samplers, such as the VZ-, VZ-10M, FZ-1, FZ-10M, FZ-20M, to name a few.

[mantara32]

I have an SK-1, an SK-5 and an SK-200 and this video is very helpful for me. Now I want to install MIDI inputs on all three, so off I go in search of more advanced videos...

[Maccied00dle]

omg soz i accidently rated 2 stars!! soz it was a mistake this is a 5 star vid!

[MutilatedMooCow]

this is fantastic. i was trying to get ahold of a casio sk 1 up till now but i want an sk 5 now!

[alexriesenbeck]

they are a lot more interesting than the SK-1. SK-60 is the closest thing to a newer SK-5... but its very unique

[sergiomartinez8]

2:12 NICE!

[alexriesenbeck]

haha thanks! too much fun

[Lachlant1984]

Does this keyboard have the same demo as the SK-1?

[alexriesenbeck]

No idea, I don't own a SK-1 (never have!)

[dannydoja]

I got my casio sk 5 at the swap meet for $2.00 about 3 yrs ago

[alexriesenbeck]

good find

[thelatedavidsmith]

does anyone know if there is a coin cell battery or anything of the sort that powers the sampling section seperately? my sk5 wont sample at all or pickup anything from the internal mic...

pisses me off

[mercurymixer]

I deff love your vids. I love making beats on older keyboards. I could be doing it for hours with ya haha!!

[alexriesenbeck]

thanks man  its too much fun haha

[yournotjohn]

It was a cool keyboard. Lots of fun! I used to do the same things to it but I sold it a year ago for $150... i think that's what it sold for in '87.

[alexriesenbeck]

Very nice. They are a great time. Just picked another one up for $90 on eBay. Thanks for watching

[RobotTickleFight]
