| Notes | "This quite rare small keyboard from 1987 is one of the successors of the famous Casio SK-1 lo-fi sampler. It can store up to 4 samples (playable through drumpads or keyboard) and keeps them in battery backed-up memory after power off. In opposite to the SK-1 it includes a "melody guide" key lighting feature for music teaching (not the keys itself light up but a row of small LEDs above them) and a ROM- Pack music cartridge slot. Unfortunately this instrument is missing the nice drawbar synthesizer and portamento of the SK-1, and the tekkno blip drums were replaced by ordinary percussion samples without accompaniment. Also the sequencer is way simpler than on SK-1. This instrument was also released as Realistic Concertmate-800. By a keyboard matrix easteregg the SK-8 can be easily modified into an oriental keyboard. - 32 midsize keys - built-in speaker - main voice polyphony 4 notes - lo-fi sampler (up to 4 low- res samples, with tuning, reverse & loop function) - 6 selectable preset envelopes (usable only for samples, most sound very similar) - 4 OBS sample select buttons - 4 rubber sample pads (not usable for internal percussion) - simple sequencer (polyphonic record/ playback of all sounds, no edit) - tempo +/- buttons (24 steps) - ROM- Pack music cartridge slot for melody guide and "auto play" (jukebox mode) - "melody guide" keyboard play training feature with key lighting (32 red & green LEDs above the keys) - "part tone" switch {melody, obligato, accomp} to select the sound for the individual parts in ROM- Pack musics - sample based sound generator for 4 voices + rhythm - battery backed- up memory - auto power- off - jacks for AC- adapter, line out, line in, microphone" found at CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler's keyboard site "WarrantyVoid" http://weltenschule.de/TableHooters/index.html |
