I like how this keyboard has 24 samples, of which 10 are for beats, and two are for internal-use-only notification sounds. And out of the 12 remaining available samples, someone in charge went like "Okay, we got our bases covered with piano, vibraphone, trumpet, flute and pipe organ and two bongos. We also got chorus, which sounds a bit weird but oh well... But what for the rest? Harp? Violin? Maybe guitar, saxophone, cello, clarinet, pan flute or harmonica? Hm, I don't know. I'm stomped. You know what, let's put 'dog', 'surf', 'lion' and 'laser gun' and call it a day."
I remember playing with one of these as a kid - if you sampled the shortest of sound - like flicking your fingernail on the mic and set it to loop, you could get some basic static waveforms out of it
I had a large Casio made around the same time and I believe the built-in beats were reused, being exactly the same Also, "let's behave normal:" a good reminder for us all
There was a point when they started using pcm sounds when they basically refused the same chips every time, so all the keyboards sound the same. It's really sad, the older ones are great actually
Actually this instrument is really important in Colombia in Cartagena and some cities a nearby. This is the base of the “picoteo” and is a technique in a genre called Champeta. Champeta is an urban genre from north coast of our country and it comes from African/Caribbean rhythms mixed with the resources of the djs in that region. There are some videos talking about that of yt
This is not a bad keyboard, you’re just not using it to its full potential if you’re only using the onboard mic and speaker. Line-in for sampling, line-out for playback (through pedals etc) and it can really punch above its weight class.
"I'm at the point where I don't want to continue with the video" Finally we are in agreement. The SK1 and SK5 were great little keyboards for the time and for the price. I wish I still had both of them as *I* had fun with them. Sure, technology has advanced, but the SKs had a charm of their own.
Still have my SK-2100 and Korg DSS-1 which came year after that in 1986 with a price tag of 3.5k which was "affordable" at the time compared to tens of thousands.
This toy begs to be circuit bent. Also you may enjoy some Simon the magpie videos on this topic, because he's experimented with similar keyboards before. :)
Your sense of humor is fantastic, you're so effortlessly funny at every moment lol! Also the musical bit at the end was brilliant, I'm a huge fan of Koyaanisqatsi lol
Yeah, the ending reminded me of those lo-fi flourishes and fanfares you would here in old film documentaries from the 60s and 70s... who knew they had a Casio SK-5😎
Hey, stop crapping on my favorite childhood toy! Could have been better but it was one of the few kid "kid" keyboards that had sampling, should have been a requirement on all keyboards.
This is a nice kind of comedy which is very rare on youtube. I guess you watched Van Kooten, Flying Circus etc. You could easily do a collab with The Bradge, he is great at improvising songs and hilarious comedy. He had live improvisation streams with Het Marc Show before the police asked him to take down his channels.
It's not a quality sampling keyboard, but you should not use batteries and should plug it in an amp, so the quality would improve a lot. I had an SK5 in the 90s and I guess it's not from 1985. It must be from 1988.
The speakers are terrible and very bad, I changed them for a more modern one that Apple uses and it sounds much better, but that was just a personal modification. The machine sounds much better through the headphone output, it is actually much more acceptable for electronic music. I use this thing a lot with Roland SP-404 mk2 and the sampler FX, I also use the SK5 sampler which is for playing bass and lo-fi things. Thanks
How many note polyphony did this beast have? I had a similar era rebadge (realistic) sampling keyboard (concertmate-500 that was a rebadged Casio SK-1) that had 4 note, unless you were using the 'beats' then it went down to 1... It only allowed a single 2.3 ish second sample, but it did have FM synthesis - but had a suprisingly awkward interface to set up using button and key presses...
You sir,.. im lost for words....😑... Hartstikke leuk,maar ik hoop dat je er nu wel achter gekomen bent,dat je een juweeltje in handen hebt. I have the same keyboard. Going to try to revive it to the modern standards. I will let you know when i do.😉 And yeah,... The whole idea behind it,that it would sample sounds .. 😂
This a great little keyboard. Missing the historical significance of the sampling capability. Your creativeity fails you. Sampling into it, add some midulation dly/reverb efx. Then sample that into a sampler... Its awsome. Sounds weird and tape analog quality.
It was a crappy sub $100 toy keyboard when it came out in the 80s... And it's a crappy overinflated toy keyboard now 20 years from now people are going to be making videos like these about the cat synth
Yeah, the damn things are way overpriced now. (I want to get one for my son who grew up with it and was on it all the time by at least age 2.) They're going for more than I paid for the RS version around '86 or '87. And, good gods, that dog thing sucked! (In that vein, why the hell would the mfgr take up that much space for a novelty dog sound?) What was the purpose of this video? Using low batteries? Recording the tiny (and tinny) speaker instead of using a line out? Ignoring the things you can do to the samples and how you can use them (which was the best part of it -- I've used one that way to good effect on stage -- although it's a bitch to get the loop timing.)? Again: Why?
Please make cutaways to a random angle in the room a regular feature
I liked the ending remembering how cheap sampling keyboards could turn us all into Phillip Glass. :)
Indeed! With the video combined it’s crazy :) A great ending for this video!
Very Koyaanisposy.
Koyaanisqatsi (1982)
It's wild how Casio quality can vary so wildly among their products
"Let's behave normal."
*_proceeds not to behave normal_*

I like how you switched to your wall everytime, it’s a very calming yet interesting view

The ceiling camera view could be used as an album cover art. 😊😊
The last Philip Glass like performance is brilliant! The Koyaanisqatsi-inspired footage too. :D
Yeah purring like a kitty 😺
Bang on 😂 by the way I like koyaanisqatsi
Quatsi gang stand up!
PLEASE NEVER CHANGE!
It has polyphony so it's better than whatever Casio I had as a child.
Thank you, Posy. I laughed my ass off through this one

bike horn insanity is the most entertaining thing this casio can do. Shame to see a bad casio tho
The chaos in this video is really something else, and I love it, I'm here for it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 😂
I liked the vacant ceiling camera. The dog noise was ok.
I still have my SK-1. Nice keyboard, more than a toy, a keyboard with good technology for that time.

The sound you made by recording the horn at the end kind of reminds me of the flutes in the intro to Cbat by Hudson Mohawke.

dude doesn't know how to use it and puts out a bad review.... i've had it a couple hours and i'm in love 😂
@@CarlosMongeLunaI’ve had mine since 1996; it’s taken a lot of abuse but it’s still mangling samples the way I like it!
The 3rd camera that looks at the wall with the sunset pics lol.

the trumpet and organ sound actually really good, id love to hear them in a full piece
Piano and vibraphone kinda sound like a japanese train station while chorus sounds like a german train station ^^
'hey that sounds like Koyaanisqatsi'
'hey that also LOOKS like Koyaanisqatsi!'
I loved my sk-10. The sampling part was way ahead of its time. Other keyboards that sampled were thousands.
Still have my SK-2100 and Korg DSS-1 which came year after that in 1986 with a price tag of 3.5k which was "affordable" at the time compared to tens of thousands.
@@HenritheHorseDid you get the sample card fitted to your DDD-1, I was just looking at one of those and g to they look pretty cool.
6:03 Serious Sam liked it
Had one... Back in 80s with Fairlight music everywhere this was your bedroom dream to sound like the art of noise 😂
It was brilliant to us kids that where lucky enough to get one ❤
Posy your videos are so delightful I think I’m going to have to have a bit of a lie down
One of the best videos on the platform
This toy begs to be circuit bent. Also you may enjoy some Simon the magpie videos on this topic, because he's experimented with similar keyboards before. :)
This is Gene's keyboard from Bob's Burgers!
Da ding ding
I love my SK1, SK200 and SK60 keyboards. They are just fun makers. So advence for their time.
I have an SK-1, and a FZ-1. Both 80's Casio sampling keyboards. They are quite different ;)
I adore the chaos of this video, thank you Posy
Your sense of humor is fantastic, you're so effortlessly funny at every moment lol! Also the musical bit at the end was brilliant, I'm a huge fan of Koyaanisqatsi lol
BEST BEGINNING OF A VIDEO EVER!!l
edit: I think coffee went out of my nose I laughed so hard.
I have it. I do enjoy using it once in a while (yes even the weird sounds). But damn this boffo is HILARIOUS 😂 thanks for the laugh! Subscribed !
That is some excellent meme material when you calmly state to try again and proceed to scream into the Casio XD
oh god i love your videos
I had an SK-1, which I remember enjoying quite a bit. It was good for making prank calls. Nice Koyaanisqatsi reference!
the horn sample was sick lol
Just what is needed to make your latest clown-core release. It shouldn't be too underestimated.
Disco 2's laser sounds just like straight from Win XP's pinball game :D
I used to have this keyboard as a kid. It was shit back then too.
The casio sk8 is an awesome 8bit mono sampler.
Yeah, the ending reminded me of those lo-fi flourishes and fanfares you would here in old film documentaries from the 60s and 70s... who knew they had a Casio SK-5😎
Press Numpad 0 for a funny at any time. In case you get bored.

I play this thing a lot, and it is full polyphonic, which is actually pretty wild. You can play presets and cords at the same time
Sad that the sk5 and sk1s prices are going up because of hipsters using them once and never again and going back to their op1s
Strong koyaanisqatsi vibes at the end
This is my favorite video.
I have an exact same t-shirt from Uniqlo. I’ve even put it on today before seeing it in this video.
another banger
1:57 interesting.. ascending dog sounds like closing a jacket zipper
My grandma has a very similar one, just its a little newer or fancier maybe, similar design though
You sir,.. im lost for words....😑... Hartstikke leuk,maar ik hoop dat je er nu wel achter gekomen bent,dat je een juweeltje in handen hebt.
I have the same keyboard. Going to try to revive it to the modern standards.
I will let you know when i do.😉 And yeah,... The whole idea behind it,that it would sample sounds .. 😂
I had an SA-1? keyboard as a kid with the awful demo of Wake Me Up by Wham!

You're welcome viewer..
Screw the SK-5, I wanna know more about the 📯📯📯
You are awesome! 🤣 Please… more! 😂
Angry Posy
2:20 is it me or is that a caddicarus reference
5:22 that got me laughing hard
put an audio visualizer on your tv, or at just a window of whatever program you record your audio with. 👽
My ears are bleeding
❤
Dogs in the dock.
goooood ... Jim Carey?
It can't be that bad!
Fixed sounds?
Oh cheesus, yeah, It's a cr*ppy keyboard.
0:00 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😂
And one of them is dog.
Make it stop!

L take these things can cook
extremely lazy video i would click like but i cant be bothered
