Casio SK-8 Sampling Keyboard + Patch Bay + Pitch Mod

via this Reverb listing

"Rare 1987 Casio SK-8 8-bit sampling keyboard modified with a unique raised console featuring a 20 point ROM modulation patch bay, four illuminated preset effects switches and an illuminated pitch control. This is an otherworldly instrument which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer. Reed Ghazala named his modified SK units 'Aleatrons' due to their random, unexpected nature so nothing is obvious here- when the patch matrix is in use, the keyboard itself doesn't always function as you'd expect while the modifications open up a world of experimental audio possibilities, far outreaching Casio's original intentions. The pitch controller is switchable and can drop sampled sounds to crashing, aliasing lows.

video upload by Somnambule

"Hi folks!

#chromagene & #polygene are two unique electronic instruments by ‪@genesynths‬ designed with an almost otherworldly character. Their unusual interfaces, tactile controls and organic, futuristic appearance make them feel less like conventional synthesizers and more like strange technological artifacts — objects recovered from a forgotten civilization somewhere between the distant past and an unknown future.

This recording is a live ambient improvisation, performed entirely in one take with no overdubs, no edits and no post-production. The sounds evolve slowly and organically, allowing the Chromagene and Polygene to interact like fragments of an ancient alien technology being brought back to life.

The idea behind the session was to imagine discovering these instruments as prehistoric extraterrestrial artifacts — remnants of an unknown intelligence, buried for millennia and somehow transported through time. Their strange textures, drones, resonances and evolving tones become a kind of sonic archaeology: a transmission from somewhere beyond our own timeline.

No overdubs. No rehearsed sequence. Just two strange instruments, one live improvisation, and a signal from a distant future.

Headphones are recommended 🖖"
