i like you despite i think you disorted the essence of the sk1 in most of your catalogue, hathathathat.
let's divert this back to the right (wrong in the right way) thread, shall we? almost everything on riced out records by nevenen was written 2011-2013. i had the sk-1, then, but it had three switches and i had things like a prophet vs to play with.
i did use a lot of bent stuff, though. a particular bent casio i had that would flawlessly handle midi was a real trip. that's one of the synths i do still have... and that was the one that would wiggle and warble in response to my subwoofer pulling down the watts.
i surmise that certain spazzy blasts of casio fragments sound good with bass noises, and by fumbling around for ages ( looking for the
sweet spots ) i wound up doing that without even noticing. i just did what sounded good, right? and it sounded wicked.
eventually, i noticed: holy crap, farting out ugly bass resonance with the juno makes the casio dance and solo! or something. i actually don't remember. it was happening all the time already; it's not like discovering what i was doing gave me any reason to change things.
it did give me ideas, though: well, the sound system is an active participant, why not get the room involved? so i ran some SM57's around with lots of XLR. there was room mic and upstairs mic and other room mic in other room etc. and this allowed the room to interact with the bass which interacted with the casio. i absolutely adored spending hours in this strange recursive microcosm. get everything unstable as shit and then tap the sm58 (bodged on an architect lamp mounting). the single impulse exploded the whole basement at that point

here is a track i made in that microcosm:
space paranoids ii
technically: the track's funk would not exist without a long run of carefully archived/deconstructed "lucky accidents" landing me on shit like using the sound of a casio freaking out to actively manipulate the way in which the casio freaked out.
anorakage: the prophet VS's arp will hold 140 notes or something like that. the track's melody is a spare fragment from an MPC that fractally builds itself up with a MIDI loop that is done whenever the prophet VS runs out of notes (and then repeats (repeats))
aesthetically: "wind chimes at night."

i didnt want to offend you whit that sk1 observation. bout this last track, if the sk1 is in it, i cant hear it. there was no need to rely on lucky happenings back then, the sampler had the funk in it, no need to construct it.

you must be really dumb to have an sk1 and look for funk like you do in front of a computer. like being blind to colors or something.

sounds like i yell "disco" at 2:15 or so, but i really have no idea. that's why the mic was there: so i could mumble incoherently whenever the need struck. i miss all that gear a lot, but i don't miss being fat particularly much

pajama pants (first person) @ ~0:00 - 0:17 :: initializing. stop the mpc. reset the sh101 sequencer. start the mpc. clear my mind and sync up with the beat. drop in a beat
pajama pants (first person) @ ~0:17 - 0:21 :: i love this video because you can literally see my brain click into the groove. the camera wiggles around throughout, obviously, but it's like someone flicked a switch and turned on steadycam. suddenly, it's just... still. serene. the movements are more viscous. if you can pick up on what i mean, here, then you understand something i have a lot of trouble verbalizing

alright so you click this link and it (2:34) ripples around a bit. hear those sort of... i dunno, one-up noises? coin-get noises? sort of nintendo? it's interspersed with this extremely cheesy synth slap bass noise.
the slap bass noise is coming from the mpc's midi that i programmed in
the casio has autoriddim drums that sync to the midi clock the casio is bent and the midi interacts with the drums and vice versa
the bass from an 800w adam sub8 subwoofer interacts with all this to suck down the juice
the casio spontaneously drops those coin noises in with the air of an experienced session musician. it's never the same twice, but it's always got mad groove. all i programmed in was the slap bass noises.
the coin1up sorta noises (2:51, 2:25, 2:57 etc) are emergent complexity derived from sitting in a basement and farting it up hardcore.
afterwards i spent hours and hours in adobe premiere splicing the video around to match up with the funk the casio had dropped. it took forever... but, yeah, recording the tune, the casio just drops it. love that thing

ok i will shout my mouth and not critic your music anymore. but dont say you make music with an sk1 when you put it for decoration. say there's the sk1 in it, but making a track entirely off sk1 sounds (not sequencing) is another pair of shoes imho
as long as you throw beats like these

the bugs bunny audio was off of youtube. unedited, just looping. i realized that the whole little skit had a tempo to it and i wrote a track around it. took me like a dozen tries to get it right. not quite in sync, you know? but in the end, it sounds tight enough that most people think i probably spent nineteen hours splicing it up in a wave editor rather than writing the track around the timing of it and then trying nineteen times until i got a good one.
the result of this was a high-fidelity stereo recording in cubase (along with six or seven out-takes that were better than most) and i generally avoided meddling with it. too fussy. not in the spirit of what i was doing
so, to answer your question: NO

i also can't be held responsible if you pluck a few bits from my tide of text and string them together in a manner that is incorrect (though understandable). i recorded a couple dozen SK-1 only tracks, and they're all posted beginning of this thread.
you kept talking about it, it wove into my tapestry of nonsense, i bumped the thread, and here we are.... generating new information on the internet based on a gulf of misunderstanding
i sank thousands of dollars into music and haven't made a dime and poured myself into it into the cash ran out and i had to give it up and now i'm just typing about it on the internet. meanwhile, president trump can get up in front of the world and tell complete porkers. why am i held to some sort of... artistic integrity? journalistic standard?
this just in: i also have a series of tracks using just a circuit-bent yamaha GX-1; thread coming soon

here, now i'll just paste more rambling from a totally different forum about more of the same anorak tunnel:
Around 2009 I recorded a track called METRO HAMMER. I was discussing it (well, blathering) and it dawned on me that this name is a synaesthetic muffin of the shape of the reverb on the james bond horn orch hit and the shape of some reverb kicked off by some sound art installed on the boston red line. kendall square stop, i think. anyways, the james bond orch hit was the core, and i could feel something there, but it was a distant point cloud and i was only just starting to appreciate autechre; lots to learn u noe.
so around 2011 i'm on a load of incredibly powerful drugs, and i find the old METROHAMMER folder on my akai mpc 1000 (sadly now gone). i'm not sure quite what happened, but the irritation of that thing not being quite the stuff i wanted in the jam just took hold, or maybe it was just drugs. but twelve hours later there is a tense mechanism of fender 1/4" cables and midi feedback loops that is stable enough, sometimes, to try for a pass. the actual audio from the relevant scene in goldeneye is looping on one track continuously. i've written the whole song and set all the tempos to line up, but this is not computer shit, it's things 3x daisy chained, pressing shuffle on a dx200 at the right time, and yeah. took me like a dozen tries to nail it, to get all the fucking loops to line up perfect. but they line up perfect.
the video is also good, i made it in premiere later on different but equally powerful drugs.
mp3 video
there is absolutely no casio SK-1 in this track, the video, this post, or anywhere else -- ever (are you happy?).

here is the story of "honey, i melted the party"
it all started as an aim conversation with some guy named "meathead." i was declaiming w/rt how bed bath and beyond is just such a fucking mess; so fucking claustrophic. squeezing past fat ladies and stepping over towels. then he laid it on me: what if that were purgatory? what if you were stuck in bed, bath and beyond... forever? for eternity? there was some obvious debate about do you have to use the bathroom, do you need to eat, but i was already laying down tracks. i combed through youtube and found lots of footage of kids fucking around the stores. some dweeb who reminds me of me when i was twelve. spastic teenage girls. then the actual jam is a real shred, that eh eh chick drum noise getting stuck in your bike tire and chewed up, melted the party, yep.
fun fact: while writing this, i bit into an overcooked pork chop (shake n bake) and i had the sensation of a 13.5 foot flanger wave flowing through the nexus point of crunch in my teeth. the size of it, that's what i remember. it was so clearly 13.5 feet, i know this because i marked the subjective range with points and then got a tape measure. i never went back and checked if this is an actual parallel to the length of a flange wave or if it was just how pork chops work on phenylethylamines

here is a riced out yugo post about "the feeling" you had. it contains absolutely no SK-1. there are plenty of references you won't get.... but, i reckon the intent will still be conveyed.

it is an example of itself. it's actual experience woven into a fantasy gestalt, transmitted through the medium of ungettable references. i'll throw out a few:
- DJ Shadow -- Endtrocing - "changeling" has a sample of some guy saying, "we are unable to transfer your call due to conscious neural interference." i vaguely recall this was what triggered me to write the post in the first place. probably had the track on.
- the link goes to a black midi youtube vid i was raving about back in the burial thread. the last post on the first page (linked) starts the tirade, the whole second page is thoughts on john cage, 4'33, information overload, and parrots. the video accurately represents the feeling of being informationally overwhelmed.
- the link is titled "multidimensional unicor" and crossfades into a meme invented a chap known as "Salvatorin." he's always: "corndawg? u got that cornd?" writing the word "unicorn" triggered the memory.
- field algebra fields: i was still stuck on corn, that led me to field, field led me to algebra, algebra led me to field
- neocortical interface of sufficient bandwidth: reference to the ST:TNG episode in which lieutenant broccoli is stobed by an alien probe and temporarly develops an IQ of >9000. he's trying to save the entireprise, but things are just. too. slow. more bandwidth! need a better interface! so he goes to the holodeck and has it build a "neural interface." i decided that wasn't star trek enough and so i went with neocortical
the rest: i've had some amazing experiences on drugs. at least, i think i did, because when they wore off, i had trouble re-assembling exactly what it was i experienced. for a few hours, my brain had been huge. now it's tiny again. lt. broccoli said: "i can remember doing all these things, but i don't remember how or why i did them." flowers for the algermon
it's also about people not getting what i write.
