Sleng Teng is a form of digital Jamaican music that began in the mid-1980s, part of the rich repertoire of the disco-like genre called “dancehall.” No one contests the key role played by artists like Smith and King Jammy, as well as the humble, battery-operated, $150 MT-40. One of the rhythm patterns Okuda created called “rock” on the MT-40 evolved into “Sleng Teng riddim.”
Crazy how most of the sound effects on the first Sleng tent recordings were taken from this keyboard.I can hear the effect from John Wayne's call the police on here.
wait! so the rock preset IS the riddim we all love and known for decades?? Holy crap. You got to be kidding me. Did Wayne smith alter it? Or is it pretty much identical to the preset?
@@Djahbell You're too funny! Read the history, dread. Article link up top in this thread. Look, the truth is reggae is mad derivative, meaning that reggae producers often 'borrow' ideas from other genres. It's a good thing. It's what has made reggae (and hip hop) so exciting and so open to new styles. This riddim is not original but really originality is overrated, innit? Btw, Bowie did his bass line in 1972, 13 years before Jammy's did sleng teng. And Eddie Cochran did his riff in 1959, 13 years before Bowie. And it's all love.
@@tinjarir Very true. Americn hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa sampled Germany's Kraftwerk and Japan's Yellow Magic Orchestra, and used a Japanese musical invention, the Roland TR-808 drum machine, to create the foundation of hip-hop during the early 1980s.
He's reaching with his pinkie or ring finger to press one of the bass buttons on the left (to set the key) slightly before he hits the orange button to start the beat. That's the initial note you hear.
Sounds like a DEVO song i think of right now. I have this same keyboard in front of me and am trying to figure out the exact settings. My rhythm doesn’t sound right to me.
@@BMUSIK101 actually Wayne didn't play the bass. the bass was a preset in the keyboard with the drums. Wayne pressed found the present by accident when his friend (the owner of the keyboad lent it to him. his friend added the strum to it and king jammys added the clap and slowed it down even more at the studio. these are waynes words. theres a video of him telling the story on youtube.
The toy keyboard that destroyed traditional reggae and inspired the childish minds of the masses into a state of ego, cheap production and a plastic picture of reality. Allot of the real artists were pushed aside for the modern circus of entertainment and glitz of the dancehall era. Simple sounds for simple minds, the governments love it while the masses are entrained into a mass psychosis that has been taught this is now what music is supposed to sound like.
Niklas Gindler I think you will find it is spelled 'RHYTHM'. And you claim the CASIO rendition to be the greatest representation?! Best you go and hang out with your TEN followers!
Its arguably the greatest _RIDDIM_ ! of all time being performed on the machine that originally created it, this is dancehall history cupcake, not my fault you don't know what a RIDDIM is. There are dozens of documentaries about it if you'd like to be less ignorant on the subject.. I have 10 followers ? I wonders who they are ?.... I could never aspire to get 82 ! so I don't try...

"And the girl caress me down"
Rip to Wayne and Bradley.
Manudigital had this wonderful synth, almost all of his jam had this

そのまんまじゃねーかよ！！！
コーフンした！
me when i turn on the news and it said that i was the number one most wanted person in the united states
ICONIC
Jammys was not the one to discover this rhythm. It was a keyboard player by the name of Noel. ( can't recall his last name at the moment)
Noel Davey
made in Japan！！
Then: what a nice melody!
Now: THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED STAES, THE MOST WANTED PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES.
wait! so the rock preset IS the riddim we all love and known for decades?? Holy crap. You got to be kidding me.
Did Wayne smith alter it? Or is it pretty much identical to the preset?
They did add other instruments to it
MI UNDER MI SLENGENTENGGG!!!
i don’t think we need government
Rockin 💗💢👍👌👌
the riddim is rumored to come from hang onto yourself by david bowie.

Takeo Ischi how? the people who created it said they took it from "a early 70s British rock song"

the sound begins before he presses the button

Its all about de riddim mon.

I know we're 2 years on, but if anyone is curious I'm pretty sure the Devo song you meant was Girl You Want
it sounds a bit like "It's Not Right"
Mad skills bra!
The song came with the keyboard. They got the original song from an older version of this keyboard.
big up!!
So who do you think stole from who?
That were they found it...... and slowed the tempo down and over dubbed adding different effects, drum, and etc. As the years went on
JAHMALCHRIS06 this bass line was played by Wayne smith back in 1985 this was the first digital riddim to ever be greater in dancehall
@@BMUSIK101 actually Wayne didn't play the bass. the bass was a preset in the keyboard with the drums.

Aah,the ether that is creation. :) :)
also,I believe this was programmed in.what say you,poster???
how do you get it to repeat the bass line?
7 years later and still never got an answer... I actually need to know too lol.
its a present in the keyboard. The engineer who designed the preset for the keyboard got the inspiration can from a David Bowie song
Found the manual, press the fill in button (orange, and then the LED will flash to the beat) and then press a key on the bass

this preset ruined reggae music in the late 80s early 90s
Sounds like a cheap, nasty and repetitive PUNK ROCK song!
only the greatest Riddim of all time..
