this is so much better than that rat shit casio sk-1

[alexriesenbeck]

@1787dude agreed. in defense for the sk-1, you have to start somewhere!

[1787dude]

@alexriesenbeck well I like the sk-1 but they are overpriced right now because they are so popular with circuit benders, I want to bend one but I'm not paying 50 bucks to do it lol. I can get vss 30's cheap

[alexriesenbeck]

@1787dude nice, send me a cheap one

i've had this ever since i was a little kid, but i never knew it could do all that!! We (my sisters & I) mostly just used it for stupid stuff, like sampling fart or burp sounds or 'scary' sounds. all these years i've been wanting a 'real' instrument, but i never realized that this thing was so great (until recently).

@nineinchnlsnin I hope you can find a new place in your musical heart for this old toy. It's still one of my favorites!

@armandsdamanhoo i agree, but casio doesnt have the yamaha talent

Can you imagine if Yamaha build something like that nowadays? Maybe with Midi (or USB Midi), the virtual filter section of the AN1x and an SD card storage function? That would be great! But what do we get? The MicroKorg...the MicroSampler...the MicroStation...all from Korg. Yamaha is sleeping! Please bring back the PortaSound series of keyboards! We don't want to step through several menus...we don't want anymore boring General Midi stuff...we want some small "WYSIWYG"-keyboards!
