- achairapart 4y agoI once modded an old Casiotone MT-52 (the one with superdrums!) from 1985 (I think) where you can mix and match any drum pattern stored as a basic digital waveform with any analog filter, basically acting in the middle of the vowel/consonant synthesis. With all its limitations it's still a very fun machine to play with, but above all I'm amazed at how good it sounds everytime I tinker with it.
- fipar 4y agoThe sk-1 was my first "real" musical instrument, and what I remember the most is that I was thrilled at the sampler. I must have been 7 or 8 years old and it was amazing to be able to record any sound and then play music with it. Shortly after giving this to me my parents sent me to a music teacher, a lovely old lady who had a house full of different instruments (a dream for any musically inclined kid, during breaks we all obviously wanted to exchange instruments for a bit), and one thing I remember is she kept telling me how this little thing had the best synthetic piano sound she had heard so far. Thanks, this took me back in a good way!
