I'm still working on a small album featuring the DJ-1 and the Rapman. UPDATE: The album is ready. Listen to it on Bandcamp: keenonkeys.bandcamp.com/album/gimme-a-beat
Theses old 80s tiy keyboards were good, I got two them. The quality and usability of 80s toys keyboards where faar better then the modern day ones.
but cassette already obsolete 20 years ago 😜
Dude you should publish it on all the streaming platforms, that would make it easier to listen for most of us
@steveleeatfullmeasure 😂 you should change your name to "sacofwetrats"...
@@fernandoalamilla4280
that's kinda hard when you already have 2 platforms
THE GOAT HAS UPLOADED. I REPEAT, THE GOAT HAS UPLOADED.
Meeeeheeeeeeee, meeeeehheeeee!
Baaahhhh
This was such a fun one! I couldn’t help laughing every time you hit that “Uhh!” button 😂Some crazy creative creations as well :)
I had a feeling from your keyboard content and original music that you watched Keen On Keys...
Now I know!
This is the best this instrument has ever sounded.
You must have gotten the best results out of this instrument in history! I was watching this and thinking, "Wow, this guy is a real musician".
I thought - surely this will be terrible. But in the hands of a genius it seems quite amazing. Imagine in a time warp universe Casio had employed you as the product demonstrator. They would have sold millions.
This guy could win Eurovision with this thing 😂
You are my reference when I say that we don't need tons of gear to make great music!
This goes to show that you don’t need professional instruments to make electronic music. Sometimes, toy keyboards will do just fine.
36:34 „rate my DAWless setup” 😂
Fascinating stuff. Old sound is almost up in fashion again. Justamente with less cassette noise. Great work.
I've just had a listen to this album on your Bandcamp profile. I am completely amazed by your creativity, your production skills making music from something so limited is fantastic! Really inspiring..
the samples are so crunchy its amazing
You really outdid yourself with the music on this one! The track at 14:30 put a huge smile on my face :)
My favourite video you’ve ever made! This was an amazing demonstration of using crafty production techniques to make the most out of a really basic setup. I look forward to seeing your retro 90’s setup! Thanks so much!
this this looks like a load of fun to play! Using the left disk for pitch changes is such a cool feature
Twin decks, now we're talking! 😅
So So das am Anfang war wohl dein Arbeitsplatz 😜Wie immer Super Video , die Deutsch Akzent Vorlesungen sind 😭🤣🤣🤣 immer noch Hut ab was dir so alles einfällt !!! 😲 Vielen Dank für Deine hochwertigen Videos
Great background music on this episode!
I thought I'd commented on this video, maybe I didn't. I am pleased you repaired the tape recorder on this keyboard, I think building a keyboard with a cassette recorder in it makes a lot of sense for so many reasons.
the rapman drum sounds are some of the very best of all time.
man, but you're good at showcasing this with those chords and melodies!
Every time I watch one of your videos I'm amazed at how beautiful the music that can be made with these relatively cheap instruments.
But then I remember that it has a lot to do with your talent as a keyboardist (even with mini keys) and composer.
Can't wait to listen to the new album!
what for a voyage! a very, very well done video, thanks for taking us along!
Now you have made me want a Casio KT100 .. I already have 4 MT70s :) Goes back to when I was a child and the MT70 was prominently displayed in a shop close to where I went for piano lessons. Piano teacher said it wasn't any use since it had mini keys .. and as a child I didn't have the money for it myself (and it was quite expensive). Many years later, after lots of searching for which was the Casio model that was stuck in my memory, I finally found the MT70 - the only one with a central LCD display - these days they can be bought pretty cheaply, though out of 4 I have, only 1 is fully operational.
Instead of the KT-100 (which will be pretty hard to find outside Japan), look for the CT-501. It is an MT-70 with large keys.
@@KeenOnKeys i've seen CT-501 for sale a couple of times, it's the KT-100 that I find intriguing as I didn't know it exists. I've been trying to find a list or catalogues of all the early Casio models but doesn't seem to exist.
Absolutely DROWNING in character, kind of like the DJX.
Top work! You absolutely got the most, and then some, out of the DJ-1. And by incorporating all those other little Casios you showed how good these little Casio boxes of fun can sound. Now, if only I could find a DJ-1 for myself - I've been looking for a few years now with no luck!
Thanks!
At the moment one is being offered here in Germany on ebay "Kleinanzeigen". Quite expensive and perhaps a bit too far away for a pick-up.
Fascinating! Thank you for exploring in such detail, it was very interesting and entertaining to watch! :)
You're welcome!
I love how you're able to squeeze every last bit of sonic capability out of these keyboards. I like to do exactly the same. I didn't see any videos of a Casio SK-1 !! Is there a video out there I may have missed? I'm sure you could work some incredible magic out of it. I recently got one on eBay (after having used it a lot as a kid) and I was surprised how capable it is. It has a sequencer that records two tracks with selectable sounds for each track that play multitimbrally, plus rhythm and bass patterns at the same time. I was definitely not doing that as a kid. I really enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos. Thanks for the awesome content! 🎹
Great video as always. These pads remind me of the sound effect buttons of the PA series from Casio.
I like to occasionally run drum loops through the rapmans voice pitch. By plugging an aux into the mic Input, one can run any line level signal through it...drums, synth, samples, whatever, and acts as an interesting, rare and unusual efx/distortion/degradedation typa unit...
I´d love to see a review of the Casio VA-10. It´s an amazing keyboard with very advanced features... like.. you record a melody and calculates a harmony for the accompaniment. It have a cool fx processor and decent sounds, mic/line input, etc. (Edit, I wrote this comment before watching the end of the video!!!)
You will see a video about the VA-10, but it will take some time. I'll do something else first.
I never thought a second being interested by this... keyboard...But as usual Keen On Keys knows how to do it ! Ultimate and exciting !
God DAMN these are some GLORIOUS sounds
Your channel narration and cadence reminds me of Captain Pikant. Very good! I am new here but have quite some time invested in Captain Pikant / Intern, and appreciate such style delivery of info.
While I'm not for this Casio tool or this style of music today, I'm now to sort through more of your content and expect my learning to explode again!
Thank you, Keen On Keys!
Always a pleasure. Thanks!
You are awesome at reviews.
So I still have this one in its original box - I got it in the late 90s for next to nothing. So I’ve got the manual, and more importantly… the tape it came with. Yes, there’s an official Casio rap.
I never got it to sound anywhere this good, even after much experimenting. You’ve done marvelous work!
I knew about the demo cassette and have been looking for it for years. I'd be really interested to know what's on it.
You've got to post the demos on the tape!!
happy to see you're back!
The outro sounds like if Tony Banks made a song for Super Mario Galaxy.
wow great job!
Thanks!
Einfach nur genial, auch se pörfäkt Germlish in se Prospektpassagen 😂
This is the holy grail of Casio keyboards for me. I've never seen it for sale in my country, and international shipping is very prohibitive due to its size. It seems like the only model successor from this era, where Casio actually improved on the original, (think VL-1, SK-1, PT-80) without sacrificing some other existing feature or function. Although many of the sounds are super cheesy, (which I love) there are a number of voices that border on semi-professional. When I look at the timeline of Casio mini and mid-sized home keyboards, so often I get frustrated when decisions that were obviously profit motivated ruin the progression and possibilities of a line of models. The DJ-1 was a refreshing change from what would have usually followed up a great first release.
You are back after 3 months
awesome video as always, love the music you made for this!!
Now THAT'S a funky beat!
Your the perfect owner for this great keyboard
Stranger things and X-files! LOL! Classic! And all with 2 cassettes and 2 Casios.. Love it!
hell yeah! keep the goosd stuff coming my man
More Rapman stuff oh yeah
12:40 that is a sound on the Native instruments 25 plugin, as a preset and sounds exactly the same.
It's directly inspired in that Casio preset
One day, we'll be able to buy knowledge and talent and download it on a USB stick and using some Matrix-like needle inject it in you brain and boom, "I know piano". That day, I want to buy your ability to just take the cheapest keyboard from the 80s and come up with a sick beat !
22:25 now you're moving into my territory & then add the mic too 😉 catching up to the 90's casio underground
@ Keen On Keys I’m looking forward to see your video on the Casio VA-10. In fact, I happen to own one myself.
I love it ❤❤❤
❤!!
I remember putting little bits of paper into cassettes to overwrite stuff by recording stuff from the radio in the 90s, and early 2000s. Hehe. I guess that person didn't know that trick. Damn. Shalom. Awesome device!
What you were doing at around 21:45 reminds me very much of the rap phase on my SA-40.
Most stylish keyboard ever, fact.
My favorite sound is Uhh! Lovely tune at the end ❤
I think Casio forgot the "C" on the Rapman.
It was genius marketing move by Casio during the golden age of hip-hop though!
I always like the historical research of all those instruments. Keep up your great work. My whish would be maybe to hook up the instruments to a nice effect Pedal just to show how nice those shity instruments could sound.
My first tracks were recorded track over track on a karaoke machine. I then got a used fostex 4-track. I have too many possibilities now.
I would have loved to own this as a kid, never heard of it despite it being released about that time.
Incredible content as always Mr. Keys! I have a question though, are you planning on reviewing the Casio MT-52 anytime soon (if you have one to begin with)? I purchased one from a thrift store about a year ago and have been curious as to how you could make one of them sound. I especially like its “super drums” feature!
Yes, I have the MT-52 and I will make a video about it, but you have to be patient.
Wonderful
@13:54 and @14:34 no way...i'm crying 😂 ...and WHERE do you get all those rare Casios?????? like your collection must be huuuggggeee
Yes, it's getting bigger, but at the moment I'm trying to stay away from ebay or anything like that. I just don't have any more space.
When I was a kid I wanted a keyboard with cassette recorder. Now I know what's that, hehe.
Oh, how I like your voice and accent... and uploads...
Must...resist... urge... to... buy... one...
Update: thankfully for my bank account there currently are none on ebay.
My buddy had one growing up. was fun, but the sk1/sk10 was way moreso, then later the dj-x was nice and with full keys!
@ Keen On Keys I know the Casio KT-40 is extremely rare, but if you ever find one, please do an in-depth review on it.
If I ever find one, I will of course do a review of it.
Really surprised to find out Werner Herzog makes these videos in his spare time.
I'm hoping Casio Re-releases the DJ-1. Maybe Casio also should release the Rap-Keytar with the same sounds & features as the Rapman & the Rap-Studio.
Another Rapmans Casio should release are the Trapman & the 21st century edition. (with the same design as the Rapman, but with todays features like you told us on your last video)
The melody at the end is one hell of a cool mix of Stranger Things and X-Files. You really can make anything sound great.
The Uh song at 14:35 is still the best, tho. Such bizarre effects this thing has.
Lighter fluid, sometimes called naphtha, is the secret to removing many stickers and adhesive residues
All i got to say is WHOOOO!
I wonder how many keyboards Casio has produced over the years. Gotta be in the 1000s!
aaaaanddd iiiiiiii don't wannaa faall in looooove 🎶
Q. ever thought about offering sample packs of some of the classic keboards from casio/yamaha?
That's something I might start working on this year.
@@KeenOnKeys if you do - excellent stuff!
Maybe you could use one of those portable Dolby NR thingamajigs on the output to lessen noise when making multitrack recordings?
14:34 i need this as full song what a bop
Wow, 11:40 reminds me of 7th Saga for the SNES, and 14:33 reminds me of the SNES XBAND! :D
Those samples sound like if a ytp was put in a keyboard
very cool. can you tap into the sounds and change the stuff on the scratch effects pads? like could you upload ahh and fresh to them?
Would be nice, but I can't see a way to do that.
I’m truly amazed! This is one of the best and wildest of your vids ever imho. Wanna join our band?! : )
All the songs sound like they belong in a 'Tech Noir' nightclub level in Final Fight or Streets of Rage. It's unique sounding though.
0:12 o hai beck
@12:16 Ah, the title song of the German series "Derrick"....... ;-)
!! Ya know, i can't live, without my cas-io !! 😂
33:40 there's a proof why you also can plug in your Casio SA-10 into the Rapstudio, but can you also try it with an SA-1?
It works with any device that has an audio output.
@@KeenOnKeys Exactly, maybe i might get myself some cables,a mixer, an amplifier & speakers & try plugging my Casio MA-201 on the DJ-1 if i got it somewhere.
I want one!
Yo! It's Hammer!
12:39 isn't that on othere casios too i believe (which I'm unsure). Va maybe 🤔
Any chance you would be able to upload the sounds from the 'lofi drumkit'? They sound great!!
1:31 I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT INSTRUMENT, WTH????? IT LOOKS SO FUTURISTIC
It's the Casio XW-DJ1 Trackformer from 2015
@@KeenOnKeys Looks so cool! thanks!

Did I hear the theme tune from Inspector Derrick?
Yes, you did.
@@KeenOnKeys Lovely! I used to watch it with my lovely grandma. What a show it was
Is your keyboard collection on display in your house? If not, how do you store them all?
To be honest: It's a mess. I'm still trying to find a way to store them all properly
