Did you ever have one as a kid? You know with about 100 really fake sounding presets and cheesy beats like "Waltz" or "16 beat". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is probably how I got into electronic music. Those preset backing tracks were great fun to play whilst fucking with the tempo/backing tracks. They were sort of like the retarded little brothers of the DX-7 or DX-100 programmable synths. I'm gonna get me one of those, or maybe a keytar. Fuck 303's! It's all about the keyTARR! |

yeah i had one, then i sold it to lfo in 1989 so they could make 'frequencies'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i found one under a couch in my dad's old house and made a track out of it - the best shit on there is the drum sounds...they sound so hollow and fake would be fun to hook one up to my current setup and toy around though |
||||||||

SH101 = Keytar (this one aint no toy) I want one of those yamaha keytars... some of them actually have programability, and not just AWM sounds. Altho, I would rather start a conversation about the casio cheap keyboards. Yamaha and casio are about the same for the most part, at least up until the 90's. In the eighties they both had synthesizers with professional features. But the DX series took off and became famous, and the CZ series by casio didn't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, the CZ series was awesome. I remember trying to program the riff from "Da Funk" into my mate's mum's CZ when I was 14. All I got was a load of screechy noises though! |

LOL @ "16 beat" I had one of those. I enjoyed playing with the tempo when i was young |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I used to hold down one key and change the preset, too. That was fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
why are "waltz" and "16 beat" cheesy beats? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still got a couple of them. one is a rhythmic2 that is shorting out so i can't use it anymore. it made good bass synths though... nice, thick and mono.... ahhhh.... i just drooled. |
||||||||

i had a yamaha cs01 which was a pretty simple analogish synth with nice sounds.. unfortunately, i kinda ruined it :\ |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i had one, it was crappy |
||||||||
|

arent all yamahas toy keyboards? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Say what? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yamaha DX7. Arguably one of the most famous synthesizers of all time. Yamaha has a couple of different markets that they cater towards. The home market, the educational market and the professional market. They are also extremely well known for their pianos. |

Haha next poll - Favourite Casio Rhythm Preset My vote - Bossanova. Or possibly Europop. |
||||||||

I got an (almost) fully functional DX11 free from my school. A couple of the very low + high keys don't work properly and some of the buttons need a huge push to make them work but it makes great pads fine. BTW if you've still got one of these toy/crap/shit keyboards, open it up and start it |

Where did u get that pic from? |

holy shit, i use that EXACT model! goos stuff! i LOVE my PSS-470...... |

I own a fully functional Casio VL-Tone. It looks in great condition, no scratches or anything, with the manual and original bag. It is a calculator and keyboard with about a dozen rhythms and a few sounds. If you're smart, you can enter certain numbers for different ADSR and Filter parameters in the calculator function and it will create chip/8bit sounds from the numbers you entered for each item. It's the hip-hop. :D |

|
|
that particular one has been heavily circuit bent... hence the "metal things" :) |
||||||||
|

|
Casio VL-Tone! I bought one at a jumble sale a few years back. I loved fucking around with it. It's got to be the ultimate toy synth. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I thought you were referring to those keyboards they sell at wal-mart for like $100 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, the ones that sold for £20 in 1987. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh... I see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also have a yamaha psr-6... fine little piece of hardware. you have to love the "Crystal" sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think we should all name some presets. I liked the ultra-fake electric guitar sounds as used on "Connection" by Elastica. |
||||||||
|

oh god i made the worst joke ever, pls forgive me :( |
||||||||

casio sk-1's 'flute' voice |

i haven't had a yamaha. once I borrowed a casio with 20 or less keys from a friend and tried to record music with it, plugged through an old soviet tape recorder which had a 'levels' button which, if unpressed, put some distortion on the sound. favourite sound from it - voice ah (or choir ah) and elec piano (nice sustain) favourite rhythm - bossanova and either 8 beat or 16 beat, can't remember. If the tempo was close to maximum, these rhythms sounded like a good bigbeat and punk correspondingly (both through that distortion, of course) |
