via Null Object:"I tried to create something unique using the presets in the Casio CTK-601. This is basically a modern home keyboard but has midi and some fun controls. It cost me about $20 bucks in an op shop. I'm getting right into these little beastie synths at the moment. They are quite nasty and have terrible line levels out and are noisy but they are fun!
Synths
Casio CTK-601 (Drums + Sync)
Roland TB-303 (Midibass mod + circuit bending by Null Object)
Ableton Live (VST prossessing + recording)
The Casio's drum machine supplied the beats as a mono out with a stupidly low level out. I mashed up the sound a bit using GGain Dipped the EQ @ around 100hz and rolled down a little from 1k to around 10K. (Live's EQ) Then into the Stardust compressor
The TB303 played three different sequences as well as a blank sequence when it wasn't needed. It was hit with the Stardust compressor. The MDA Stereo. Then into the 4ormulator vocoder.
The Whole thing was rendered at 192k 32bit then loaded into Reaper where it was hit with the inbuilt Mastering Limiter.
Granted the song is not at all complex, I think it has a really interesting sound and one that would trick a lot of folk.
Thanks For listening."
nice track! Yep, could fool a lot of people. I just found the same model Casio for my Girlfriends daughter to practice piano today at the Thrift shoppe.. and wow, what a nice deal for $30.00 it was priced at. I'll show her the Midi side of things with this great keyboard. Gotta love expressive key functions.
ReplyDeleteWhat did this thing go for new? I'd guess around $300
One thing.. I may find this out soon..since there was no manual, can you change the drum sounds on those yellow pads below the screen? Can they trigger midi too? Peace!
Had mine since 1998. Still going strong.
