Been using this piece for long time, but now it's becoming
my main solo synth when doin' live stuff (in combinaton with
some effects processors).

Anyone else into the Casio Madness?

...and my main sampler on stage...

SK1

no joking'...

ara també necessitaré un rellotge casio per cronometrar
els concerts!! jeje!!

PD: cada cop que escolto "zizikzimi tontrou", m'agrada
més.
el problema és que no tenc gaire temps per fer-hi res...
però pots fer-li el que et vaig suggerir al thread...

Salut i birra fresca!!

wow, merci company!

crec que ara ja es igual,
vaig fer el tema per una persona en concret,
i ara que ja li he entregat, he esborrat tots els rastres de
la seva existencia...
aixi que ets lunica persona que te el tema apart d'ella.
dont you feel afortunated?
hehe...
tot i aixo, la teva no es la definitiva, crec... la
percussió es tota l'estona igual, no?

This is a lush little keyboard!!! :D

No, seriously, the Fantasy sound put thru reverb does make a
very nice-but-harsh pad.

It can process your voice to be really high pitched, and it
has a scratch pad.

Yeah, I also noticed...
The one in that pic is not mine, it's googld. Mine has
another speaker...
Maybe it's a mod, maybe it's a foreign model. From Dubai
possibly.

I bought my casio rapman to bend. But them I fried another
keyboard that I had been working on, and decided that its
much too precious to risk frying, so I left it alone.

I've circuit bent an SA-1 but it's nothing like what I
expected.
Chance music? No, just a boring disto and tremolo....

Yeah... well, its just supposed to be fucked up sounds. The
one I was working on had these great sounds that popped up
whenever I would make a connection between the preset beats
and the keyboard sounds, but as soon as I made a hit it with
solder, it stoped making any noise whatsoever.

own sounds. i like it a lot.

The drums on Casio keyboards still make me smile - I don't
know if it's the cheapness or plasticity of the sound, but a
nicely programmed Casio beat has something.
