Title link takes you to group site dedicated to the Casio SK line of keyboards including pics, mods and more. Notes on the SK-5 and SK-8 from Ryan (Plutoniq9)
- 4 sample slots opposed to the (1) on the SK-1
- Samples saved when powering off, SK-1 loses memory due to DRAM.
-When adding midi (i.e Highly Liquid's midi retrofit), the SK-5 & SK-8 can trigger all four samples via midi, so you can use it as a crude lo-fi drum sampler.
- Reverse mode.....always cool for xperimental sounds.
The SK-5 & SK-8 are very very close to one another, I still haven't tested
it yet, but i think a ROM swap could be made between the two. Although they
are the focus of the group, discussion on all SK keyboards is welcome. The
files section has detailed modifiations for the sk-5 & SK-8, real
modifications...not circuit bending.
