video upload by CatSynth TV
You can find all parts in this series here.
"We preset Part 1 of of several videos covering our epic trip along US Highway 50 in Nevada, dubbed "The Loneliest Road in America". In this segment, we head west from the tiny community of Middlegate in Churchill County to the old mining town of Austin (in Lander County). Along the way we cross wide valleys and mountain passes.
Original music by Amanda Chaudhary using the following instruments:
Yamaha RX5 drum machine and RX5USB cartridge
Cherry Audio GX-80, Harmonia, and Stardust 201 tape delay
Arturia Vocoder V, DX7 V, Analog Lab, Mellotron V, Jun-6 V, Delay ETERNITY
Universal Audio UAD Electra 88
Buchla Red Panel 158 and 156m modules
EastWest Fantasy Brass and Hollywood Orchestral Percussion
The building featured at the end of the video is Stokes Castle, a ruined replica of a European castle tower that sits on a hill above the town of Austin."

"Rare 1987 Casio SK-5 8-bit sampling keyboard custom modified with a 50 point patch bay. This is a strange, lo-fi, challenging but rewarding instrument which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer."

"Rare 1987 Casio SK-5 8-bit sampling keyboard custom modified with a 50 point patch bay. This is a haunted, lo-fi, challenging but rewarding instrument which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer. Nothing is obvious here- the keyboard itself doesn't always function as you'd expect while the patch bay opens up a world of experimental audio possibilities, far outreaching Casio's original intentions- remember, it isn't broken, it's just weird.
When the patch matrix is implemented, an array of warped sounds and effects are 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 the presets, onboard rhythms (speed rushes of laser, lion and drum samples) and any sound you record using the sampling feature. The SK 5 is also very good at producing complex drones and atmospheres which can be developed using the five included patch cables- these can also be stacked for further sonic manipulation.
Specs:
Sample reverse and loop functions
8 PCM tones: piano, vibraphone, dog, surf, trumpet, organ, chorus, flute.
10 rhythms: rock 1/2, disco 1/2, 16 beat, march, bossa nova, samba, slow rock, waltz.
Holds 2 samples: 8-bit PCM, 9.38kHz, approx. 1.4 seconds + 4 samples @ 0.7 seconds.
Sample tune +_ 1 octave
4 sample pads
4 rhythm pads: laser, lion, hi bongo, lo bongo
496 step sequencer
32 keys
6 envelope options"
