In this episode I take a look a 5 modern toy keyboards.
B.Meowsic Keyboard
Casio SA-76
Casio SA-9
TechnoBeat
First Act Discovery
That modded meowing keyboard is exactly what makes these videos unmissable, haha.
Lazy Game Reviews its a nerdgasm of epic proportion
8-bit keys doesn’t post often, but when it does, it’s always a treat, for my 8bit ears.
Lazy Game Reviews I have the same cat keyboard but the nose broke off but I haven't broken it since. 😅
cant beat playing with a pussy
I'm shocked at how easy it is really
Love how David keeps things balanced. Old keyboard newer tunes, newer keyboards retro tunes.
What's the tune he keeps playing in this video?
The fact that you took the time to mod a kids toy is hillarious
"It's quite bear actually..." No, it's defo a cat!
18:01 say what you will about the keyboard, but I love that chord.
The casio sa-9 was my favorite childhood toy, still works today!
I kept thinking he was going to play “the lick” but was disappointed when he didn’t :(
What purpose does the capacitor server that you put between the RCA jack and the speaker wires in the meowsic keyboard? Would it work without one? What does it do? Thank you!
Fun fact: In the Linkin Park song "Lost In The Echo," the chord sound heard in the beginning is the result of Mike Shinoda, the band's primary producer (and rapper, singer, rhythm guitarist, yada yada yada.) playing a Meowsic keyboard and sampling it through Ableton Live and a variety of effects.
That was cool how you did this!
*I would have been disappointed* if I have gotten a meow keyboard without an actual cat meow in it.
The cat piano's real?
CAT PIANO SOLO!
meow meow meow meow
Kra Z Kapin lol
Kra Z Kapin you’ve never sought in target
SML JEFFY WHY?
Fuck the cat piano, lol. This channel's real?
i would love to see your review and tear down of the "axiom air 32 mini" and the software that came with it "Ignite" by "air".. thats what i use and i absolutely love this thing. I wish the keys were bigger, and i wish it had more keys, but it is an awesome midi controller and awesome software. extremely simple, But very functional.
I just saw a meowsic keyboard on letgo for $9, so I thought I’d rewatch your vid
10:43 OMG Dr. Who theme! I made an piano arrangement few days ago!
The second song you played almost sounded like Queen's Radio GaGa XD
I used to have a version of the technobeat that had 100 instruments.
in the minute 12:55 he puted wood bass in synth clav and synth clav in the wood bass :3
This video was great!
you can reason that void with the upcoming of midi controller. if you want a middleclass keyboard, thats what you´ll probably use.
Omg, thank you for the shout-out! The cat keyboard is a big hit on stage.
Came here to make sure y'all saw this!
Y'all put more into your B. Meowsic than David sure did.
You're welcome! I'd love to collaborate sometime on a Meowsic song!

Oh. Hi there! 😂
"It's quite bare, actually!"
I dunno, looks quite cat to me.
Well this took me too long to get.
Lol
didnt expect you to comment lol
Uh oh! I guess I’ll have to work on my «feline» playing techniques the next time I’m in town then. 😸
Indeed.. Everyone is going to expect some meowsic greatness from you!
Cannot wait for follow up video with more meowsic
Its not hard to perfect your feline skills. Just catch a few felines, line em up in a row. Pull each tail and see what note they generate. Re-arrange the cats so they form a perfect scale, and start playing. Bonus points if you can make em play automatically by feeding an arduino a midi sequence, triggering solenoids to pull the tails ;)
Can't wait to hear your meowsterpiece!
There actually were cat and pig organs like that in the olden days. very tonally limited though.
The Knight Rider theme on that keyboard. Pure genius. You rock David!
bucharestBIKEtraffic dar pe cine-am gasit?
FreeScorpio Pe mine. Sunt mare consumator de 8-bit guy, techmoan, lgr...in general sunt un tocilar :).
ma uit si eu la astia, mica-i lumea :))
ISKillerX Salut. Ma uit foarte mult la alti youtuberi, dar nu din Romania. Printre altele si la 8-bit guy. In general continut in limba engleza, ce tine de tehnologie veche si jocuri vechi si pregatit pentru tocilari :).
Yeah i love that show
It’s 5am and here I am, watching a grown man play with a cat keyboard while I lay in bed unable to sleep. I’m enjoying every second of the video but.... what’s wrong with me? I need to sleep
2 am for me. The lack of sleep is real brother.
Matthew Rease indeed it is, because here I am, 6 months later, birds chirping outside and it’s 6:43am after another sleepless night.
Try quickly blinking 100 times right before bed, it will cause the muscles around your eyes to become fatigued .
chinablue who it’s 1:11am and I just tried what you said and it didn’t help. Thanks anyway though. It just feels like there’s springs between my eyelids pushing them apart and open.
Blue light addiction
Yes! The cat keyboard!
Also, Knight Rider!
Also, Meow Mix!
Pimp My Meowsic Keyboard
Yo dawg, we heard you like keyboards so we put a keyboard in your keyboard.
keyboard-ception
I genuinely laughed out loud when you played the Meow Mix theme.
I actually skipped back to watch it again. : )
3:18 By far the best thing to have been recreated on RUclips
Terrum you beat me to it. So... yeah what he said!
Terrum what about techmoan singing "get lucky"?
dont think many today would remember that commercial :P
customvrocker Good call. That was amazing as well
I know you can read my thoughts boy... Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
my nephew got something like the meosic keyboard. all he does with it is follow the cat arround and annoy the crap out of it.
lolz Oh noooes....poor kitty...
Color Me Twisted I like your nephew already.
My cat reacted when you played the Meow instrument 😂
Ha ha, My mom played a video with a cat on her phone months ago, and her cat was in another room, and he came running into the room that she was in. :D
Plqp
:)
Hahahaha 😂
12:31 Knight Rider theme!!! 😄
Thank you! I know what Night Rider is, but I've never seen it and all I could think was "Sounds like a level I never got to in System Shock..."
Michael Casio. A keyboard, That does not exist.
Yeah, that was great.
Auto Gaggins thanks, ur probably one of two people who got it lol
That was stinkin awesome.
I love how the meow sound is just a recording of someone saying "Meow"... and that it's two note moggyphonic, of course.
*Has extreme Night Rider nostalgia* 12:33
I had lots of nostalgia
to me this souns like something of of donkey kong country
I SEE YOU FUCKING EVERYWHERE @SoDaftMinecraft
@SoDaftMinecraft I subbed you
@David Hormadaly pfft ok
I just heard a song composed by The 8 Bit Guy and played on a cat keyboard. I can die happily now.
Kriegsheld, pfff I've seen art with D.Va, Solider 76 and Mercy fighting with Zerg Swarm
LYRICS:
Meow meow meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow meow meow
meow meow
meow meow meow meow
meow
meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow
...yeah that's enough...
Shy Violet what are the rest of the lyrics
Ok I have to play this "MeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeowMeow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow"
HAHAHA
I guess not. I know the simpsons did something with that tune.
"I know you can read my thoughts boy, Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum "
I need that keyboard right MEOW!
Tom5tom Entertainment how do you tie a noose
I'm sorry, did you just say "meow?" Haha
Push print screen, open paint or something, paste and print. Now the Meow keyboard is yours. You can have your own Ferrari too!
+Tom5tom Entertainment: That sounds terrible lol.
Good one! ROTFM (Rolling on the floor MEOWING!) 🤣
Me: I'm going to go to bed at 11 tonight.
Me at 3 A.M: *is watching **9:04*
😂 👍
Yes an 8-bit keys video it’s been so long thank you for keeping 8-bit keys alive
Runaway train Productions what about his gun channel? (I shit you not he has one...)
Runaway train Productions thanks David I knew you won't abbaonded 8 bit keys
Dylan Truong are you sure you’re not joking with me?
Runaway train Productions I am not. Forgot what it was called (will check later) but he owned a fucking pistol.
"awesomeairguns" that's the name.
@12:33 Best cover of the Knight Rider theme ever!
Look up Mitch Murder's version. Not taking anything away from David, cus he's a genius, but it will blow your mind lol
Ha, I just checked it out. Somehow that version is even more 80's than the actual TV show version. I think it's the quaintness of the toy keyboard version that gets me.
Agreed. And think about it, David just used a simple keyboard and Audacity and got a brilliant result. Love it!
It will sound good with some meow.
There was also a dog guitar. My daughter had both. And kudos for the Knight Rider theme. That was really good.
I used to have a dog guitar. Saw one in a Barnes & Noble recently and got a wave of nostalgia
I need more Meow keyboard music! 😻
Esse teclado é divertido

This guy wrote a pretty killer song with it.

First I was thinking: "Ok, why is he even doing something like this?!?" but after a while it got quite interesting speaking of device-modding.
1:25 8-Bit Keys confirmed to secretly be a dissertation on the economic state of the lower, middle and upper class in America.

Do you recommend a meowsic as a first keyboard for someone starting producing music and want that modern aviici sound? thanks.
no
I DO!!!!!!
I'm no musician, but it seems hard with you having to install the line output and stuff so basically in my opinion no.

I know what you're talking about!😏😘😜
Wot. I feel lost to the reference.
Jeffy uh uh uh uh uh, I actually want this for Christmas though even through I’m way older than 6 lol I’m a huge sml fan
The SA-9 is a slightly different colored (to fit better in the colorful 90s) version of the SA-1... A Keyboard from 1989.Yes nearly 30 Years old. And it looks and sounds still better then all new mini Keyboards.
I didn't realize it was that old. I thought I read somewhere that it came out in 2006. I found mine at a garage sale a few months ago.
I've got a Casio SA-39 at home, one of the rarest. They started as of 1989, and the SA-39 is from 1998. The Casio SA-46 and SA-76 are from 2009, and still produced.
I still have my Casio SA1 (works perfectly) even with the original box. It was a gift from my parents 32 years ago. Really liked the video.
I had fond memories of it. The wham demo music makes me believe the keyboard could be more than 2 poly.
I think mine - see above - has the same chip and it has four voices
I had a Casio SA-1 when I was a kid, circa '91 or '92. It's the same as the SA-9 but the top is black, not green and blue and it has the audio out fitted. I've never learnt to play anything but loved to hear the demo song, "Wake me up before you go-go" by Wham 😁
Hernán Álvarez I had that exact keyboard.
I've been trying to figure out which model it was (I was only 6)
Did yours come with the Michael Jackson songbook?
I don't remember that...
exactly what I wanted to say! I remembered having this keyboard exactly as you describe. Glad i'm not getting crazy :)
i had a different version of the technobeat and i taught myself almost everything i know on it but eventually my song writing skills became too complex for it so i switched to a casio ctk-541 both are great and i think its cool we both got a little bit of our past back from this video. thanks 😉
Thumbs up for the Knight Rider!
I haven't heard that in a good while.
Why did you steal jeffy's cat piano???!!!😀
oh no, a Jeffy Fan
I have to admit, I really enjoyed this episode for a latecomer to the channel, but I was a tiny bit let down that I didn't get to see the insides of the last cheap 'junky keyboard', as well as anything successfully played on either of the last 2. I also understand though. I'm sure you spend enough time on producing these shows for us.
I had bought myself a Yamaha YPG235 a few years ago and was determined to learn how to play it for the first few months I had it, but looking back now I wish I had aimed a little lower, like that Casio SA-9. I think I would have been a little bit less intimidated by it. I also wish I would have found this channel back then as well.
I have/had zero interest in keyboards, but gotdamn you're engaging!
Indeed I almost skipped this video....I didn't and damn I'm happy I didn't.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. I really loved to see the SA-9. It looks identical to the SA-1 I owned as a kid, back in the 80's. Even the sound when you select another instrument is the same. I bet that this one does not have the awesome "wake me up before you go-go" demo tune. :)
ruclips.net/video/jobh4mRXsGE/видео.html you'd be right - the SA-7 and SA-9 have a Glenn Miller - American Patrol demo song --- ruclips.net/video/jobh4mRXsGE/видео.html ... Apparently the SA-10 also has Wham - Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go) like the SA-1.
Fran-cat-stein keyboard with those bolts in the neck.
Hey a new 8-bit keys video, if you got to church ask them if you could see the organ if they have one, because organs are MASSIVE, anyways, just and idea.
Grace Lutheran Church in Arlington, not that far from where he lives has a huge pipe organ.
This goes to show that some toy keyboards can indeed be useful, even for adults, especially musicians who would want to use them for music production.
#Keep8BitKeysAlive in 2018!
15:11 They're toys, but they're fun to play with? Isn't that literally the entire purpose of a toy?
Play as an instrument, and play as a toy are two different things.
@@zekester2097 He said "play *with*" though, which specifically refers to the latter.
@@Sparkette>1 year late
Sss Hhh yes, lol
Introducing, the B Meowsic Pro
Wow che bel nome
12:31 OMG KNIGHT RIDER !
Cat piano
Anybody here heard of 'Jeffy' ?
ArnyDaHamsta Jeffy is a piece of shit.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ayden Buckley I agree
Yep
Jeffy is a SuperMarioLogan character who is only stupid.
So, we can say that Jeffy is bad.
I am totally going to pick up an Casio SA-9. That thing is a 1980s sound bank for sure! THe SA-76 seems like it has some use too, but the SA-9 is a must have to get those 80s sounds I remember, ha.
8 Bit Keys is always in a better mood than 8 Bit Guy.
He's a sweetheart.
...... I know.
It's. The same guy
....... I knew that.
Don't you hate it when people don't get a joke?
getting there.
Heck Yeah, Knight Rider!
i can't be the only one who thought the meowsic song was a legitimate bop @ 8:42
No, you aren’t
What is this song called? I can't find it anywhere?
Yeah !!! Knight Rider !!!
I know! So awesome to hear that theme. Was not expecting it.
The Series was from the 80s and even at that Time the Intro was not technically challenging. It's more the simple Things that remain in our Ears. Someone remember the german Band "Trio" with that cute little Casio Keyboard ?
It Been Forever!
I actually had the cat keyboard when I was around 4 or 5. We called it the cat piano though, and eventually we ended up getting rid of it. Kind of interesting to see that they haven't changed in 7 years.
I could understand if you called a "keyboard" a "piano".
I got a 90s Yamaha PSR-82 when I was 2 and that's where I started the road of keys.
So you were 4 or 5 7 years ago. 7 years must seem like an eternity to you.
Sounds like Technobeat wasn't ending old notes to make room for new ones, so it was hitting its 7-note polyphony limit even after you let go of the keys, since it was waiting for the note to finish fading out.
I have a nexxtech keyboard with 7-note polyphony and it will end old notes to make room for new ones, even if I am still holding the key down. Fairly interesting.
Linkin park used the cat keyboard in the intro of Lost In the Echo
Really, wow.
6:58 The signal is almost PURRfect 😉
(Sheepish laugh)
Ahh cheeki breeki iv damke!
blyat
lmao
I WAS GOING TO BUY THAT MEOWSIC FOR SAMPLING FROM JUST FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES.
YOJOEHOJO mk
Well, he did it again. Only the 8-Bit Guy could make a video about a toy cat keyboard and have me glued to the screen the whole time.
Years ago, after my wife and I first went shopping for gifts on the toy aisle for our new daughter, my wife stumbled on this. I have no clue why. She fell in love with it. She's not an 8-bit/electronics nerd like I am but... I think she's going to like this video... and probably ask that I line-out from this thing like you've done.
Should've played the entirety of Cruel Angel's Thesis on the Meowsic xD
LMAO does he even know what that is??? I do and I'd love to hear that. But that isn't in the cards for this video I guess.
I liked the part when the cat said “meow.”
Could you imagine if 8-bit Keys got his hands on a Yamaha CS-80? Also that cat keyboard is glorious.
yeees! he NEEDS one!
Okay, but if he gets one, he HAS to play something from the Cosmos soundtrack.
nice
@8-Bit Keys: What capacitor value did you use for the Meowsic line out and why? I'm a circuit bender and whenever I've had to do a line out mod, I've only added a resistor or pot in series with the circuit to take the volume down, if needed. What's the benefit iof adding a cap and how do you determine which value to use?
A A Id also really love to know this! I’m making some upgrades to a Casio DG 10 and want to get some tips for quality
I'd be very much happy to answer that question. So, a capacitor, put it in simple words, allows AC to pass through while blocking DC. So, if your audio signal has a DC bias in it, you can connect a capacitor in series, so that the DC doesn't "screw up" the circuit or introduce distortion in the signal chain. The value can be calculated based on what pot you're using. Look for "RC high pass filter calculator" or some shit like that.
TL; DR: the cap blocks DC voltage and its value depends on the pot you're using, but you can usually go for 10uF and be happy, but frequency response might not be ideal.

I had one of those Casio Tone Banks when I was a kid (early 90s). It looked almost identical and sounded identical, I think the demo button played wake me up before you go-go, although I distinctively remember it having a headphone jack, which this one seems to lack.

The Casio SA-5
or SA-1
Yup me too. Had the same demo too. My sister and I both had them and drove our parents insane with them haha.
It was fun with Meowsic

3:24 am, added one minute ago :D and watching :D this gonna be a good Night :) greetings from Poland :)
It's 5:30 am in Finland, hi there in Poland!
Crazy Ivan it’s almost 6 am
I DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING TO MY MEOWSIC KEYBOARD!!!!
No joke, got it from goodwill months ago and installed a mic in and output port!
I pipe my headset through it so i can be a terrible person on Discord
I seen a MEOWSIC Keybroad at a thrift store a few weeks ago. I wish I seen this video a back then. Maybe I would’ve try to mod it. 🎹
Watching this late 2019 for the Meowsic...
You get a like for the work on that teeny little keyboard! I'm impressed :D
Jeffy’s cat piano!
JJ'sGreatGames and Vlogs YES
11:32 i got offended by your right hand
Jayinem lol
2019 in a nutshell.
Doppel lmao true
О, руссиши?
The SA-9 doesn’t seem to be much different to the SA-1. The Meowsic though, lol!!!
That's my keyboard daddy
Neepow Glungus get out.
Wanna see ma' pencil?
S t o p .
Knight Rider is the best...
cxan someone please tell me the song name at 4:05. it's been in my head ever since i watched this video! if you listen close enough you can hear it
Frere Jacques. You're welcome a year later.
Skip to my Lou
@@bennyboy1240 thank you so much!
I really got a kick out of the meowsic keyboard. Doing the mix with audacity was really cool.
What the hell is the song your playing from 11:25 - 11:32
I know that song from somewhere and it's driving me crazy.
Same here, i do remember it was something medieval, played in a tavern or some sort.
yall mean Knight Rider?
The Noobness no. The night rider theme is at 12:35
He plays a different song earlier.
Same
He should really show the name of the song on screen when he plays them
He played the same song on the Meowsic keyboard.
It sounds like a Yuletide melody, but don't quote me on that.
Virtual synths + controller = middle ground.
