Omfg I wanted this keyboard so bad when it came out. This commercial captured my young imagination when it aired in the mid 80's. Even though I never got one as a kid I do use samplers to make music now.
First time I was introduced to multi-track recording on a keyboard. (It had 2 channels btw). First time I could delete a wrong recorded note, (in a step recording mode) First time I could replay the entire revised recording using the one and only "1 key play" feature. Just wonder why this feature is no where to be found nowadays. Sigh This was really a little wonder. I used to use a spoon and tap on a glass to sample the sound and play it back. All that in 1987!
anyone notice the SK-1 logo on the back of the keyboard thats not actually there on the real deal? not to mention the fact that thats not even the actual piano sound you get from the thing still, its a cute commercial for a keyboard i happen to love playing around with and having laying around :D
I got my Sk-1 when I was 4 and the keyboard was 8 years old at that point. now it is at least 20 years old and showing no signs of slowing down I still play it to this day mostly for shits and giggles sometimes you stumble upon a cool beat or melody though and that is lots of fun.
I still have mine, and it works perfectly to this day. Oh, the fun we used to have recording "Al Capone" into it and prank calling this one kid and scaring him with it! We were 13-14 years old at the time. Ah, miss those days LOL
This commercial jus popped in my mind outta nowhere. Went to look it up on RUclips and there it was seconds later! RUclips ur my hero (in my Cameron voice) lol
I got one of these a few days ago from a garage sale for 5 bucks... The lady sure didn't look happy :D I'm having tons of fun with it. Yay old electronics!
I was quoting the last sequence, the bit where he plays with two hands with the camera ontop of it. That has nothing to do with multi-track recording. Oh and it has only 4 polyphony even.
It's never too late to buy an SK-1, I plan to buy one in the not too distant future because lofi samplers is right up my street. I might even record the f bomb and the c word on it!
I don't remember the piano sounding as real as that on mine. Also, I think it was only 4 key polyphonic. The bit depth of the dog sample sounded quite high too. Or maybe it really did sound that good on mine... No, I'm sure that was dubbed to get people to but it. No sampler could beat it for fart sounds though.
see a doctor about this... it could be something very simple... like the battery holder got disconnected... let him know it's an sk1 he might work pro-bono
I remember recording the F-bomb into the sampler and playing it on the keyboard. At 13 years old, mind = blown.

My brother had one. We spent hours playing songs with sampled fart sounds. I miss that thing.
I love my SK-1! I own 5 casio keyboards, 4 casio watches, 2 casio calculators, one casio camera and 7 butt plugs!
Da Guvna Casio butt plugs? 😂😂😂
Just picked one up from the Goodwill store for $3.99
It still works !!!
Nice find!

I had one of these in the '80s. It broke, I threw it in the trash, wish I didn't now!
I still have my Casio sk-1 from the 80's but it's missing a couple of the black keys.

READ THE VID SUBTITLE! it says
"Sound track created with multi-track recording"
Always typical in these ads when they went to remind people why they wouldn't be able to play more than one sound at a time with these!
This is so funny ahah

ones bent and now i only have two "virgins" thanks for posting !
