Casio SK100 1986 8-Bit Sampler + Patch Bay & Pitch Mod

video upload by Canned Sound

via this Reverb listing

"Rare 1986 Casio SK-100 8-bit sampling keyboard custom modified with a 25 point modulation patch bay and pitch control section mounted on a metallic graphite externally attached console with a unique solid aluminium 1970s Hitachi 'wedge' knob. This is a weird, unpredictable, lo-fi and chaotic sampling instrument with a warm gritty sound which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer.

When the patch matrix is in use an array of warped effects, drones and loops can be generated; applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex range of cyclic, pitch dropped, fractured, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing digital noise and bizarre sequences which affect any sound you record using the sampling feature. The pitch mod takes the sound up in pitch and down to crushing aliasing lows, also affecting the SK 100's pre-set sounds. Five stackable patch cables included.

Specs:
-25 point ROM modulation patch bay
-Pitch control function
-5 different dynamic envelopes can be applied to your samples (a long and short sample can be recorded and stored).
-Loop and reverse effects.
-The samples can be featured in the tempo adjustable onboard rhythm sequences.
-12 preset sounds
-12 preset rhythms
-Chord memory
-7 keyboard-based drum sounds"

"TOMITA, CASIO & THE COSMO SYSTEM: Casio collaborated with Casio way back in the early 1980’s to create the COSMO synthesizer which was a huge rack of custom devices and computer system that ultimately became the CZ-101 Synthesizer and FZ-1 Sampler…the first 16bit sampler. From what understand the CZ-101 has in its code something like 64 different waveforms of which only 8 were selected for the CZ. I’ve seen someone post about this and was trying to make them accessible. Phase Distortion synthesis is the “real” FM (again as I’ve read somewhere) and Yamaha’s FM is different though I’m not sure what those differences are. The CZ started my career as a sound designer and remains one of my Top 3 instruments though I use the Virtual CZ soft synth by Oli Larkin. I have my entire collection of sounds from all the way back to 1986 and all the ones used on my “Lost Childhood” albums that were done with just two CZ-1’s run from a Roland MC-500 MIDI sequencer in real time through a Roland R880 digital reverb direct to DAT. A fantastic and classic synth! 🎛️ 👽"

In this video I explain how its unique Phase Distortion synthesis engine works, then demonstrate how to operate all of the controls to create and modify sounds. Lastly, I give an overview of some of the kinds of sounds this synth can create."
